Sophie's birthday started with her annual checkup at the doctor. For her birthday, she received four shots! Yay! Not really yay, but it had to be done. She was measured at 34 inches, which would put her, at age 20, at 68 inches, or 5 foot 8 inches! That's MY GIRL!
It also was Chinese New Year, even though Joy and I aren't Chinese. We decided to put the girls in some Chinese outfits to go with the holiday. 
Emma has been super busy with preschool. She was ending her Traveling camp at the beginning of February, where she learned about the different cultures and continents of the world. She started a new one about Animals at the Zoo and is having a blast learning about all the different animals that you can find in the zoo. She's also doing very well writing her name, and the other letters of the alphabet. She can also write and count to 20, and can read numbers all the way up to 100! Joy and I have started working with her reading skills, and do flash cards with her almost every other night that help with her reading and writing skills. She's such a quick learner it's crazy! In February, Emma also had her first Dentist appointment! We helped calm her down by letting her watch "Caillou" on TV, where he visits the dentist for the first time. She began to understand how the process worked and was excited to go. I think I was more nervous for her than she was!
Eden began her second year of wrestling in February. She was promoted to the varsity class and wrestled in the 120 pound range. There were a bit of scary times though, as she had to wrestle some boys who were (in my opinion) MUCH heavier than the 120 pound range. She did get to wrestle some girls and won those too. Overall she did great, and finished her season March 1st.
Valentine's Day is always a special day for our family. Joy will go all out when it comes to dinner, which is better than having to go out, especially with the girls. It's tough to keep the girls entertained when we go out to dinner, so eating in is always the better alternative.
Joy gave me gift cards to Best Buy, Jamba Juice, and Regal Cinemas. I braved the ridiculous lines at the new grand opening of H&M at Washington Square Mall. I bought Joy a dress there, and ordered some shoes for her, which matches perfectly with it.
On the menu we had pork with an onion marmalade, mac and cheese, asparagus and biscuits! It was VERY DELICIOUS!
Anyways, it was a great month! Thanks for reading!
