Happy Valentine's Day "Da Da"

We had a wonderful Valentine's Day in the O'Brien household. I helped Taylor make Valentine's for her friends (decorated baby food jars with M&Ms in them) with her Shrek Valentines. We also make a little decorated box for her friends to put the Valentines to her in (she calls it her monkey box because the fabric has little monkeys holding hearts on it). We gather up all of this stuff and as we are heading out the door Bella belts out "DA DA".

I looked at her and started laughing and she thought that was great fun. That was the first time she'd ever said "da da" before. So Taylor went off to school and Bella and I hit the grocery store. We bought some cupcakes to take to Daddy's office so we could tell him of the glorious event and when we get there he was GONE! He had a meeting with a printer. We would just have to wait until he got home to tell him. Once at home I stripped Bella off and she made her valentine for her Daddy. We told him through the Valentine, but he was not as excited as I thought he'd be. She said it like 3 more times while he was at home but he was either not paying attention or was in another room. He would finally hear the glorious words on Saturday Feb. 16th while we were working the nursery at Desperation Church.
