First Snow, 2009

It's winter here, that's for sure, and the snow is beginning to fall to the ground. Mom got me all bundled up and I went out to see the snow. You'll see I have winter crocs on, stay tuned for posts with boots, the weatherman says we'll be needing them in a week. It sure was cold, but I loved trying to catch the snowflakes with my hands.

I can't wait for enough snow to fall to build snowman and snow angels. I talk about that and going for a walk in the woods to find animal footprints all the time. This could be a challenge for mom, so we'll have to call for some reinforcements when the time is right.

Mom stayed in the garage while snapping these photos. Baby is growing more and more each day and mom can't button her winter jacket all the way. Even with dad's fleece under her jacket, I think mom and baby were pretty cold. Speaking of baby, we received the good news from the Dr. that mom's placenta previa has moved. In fact, it moved the full distance necessary for mom to go full term and have a regular delivery. SO, baby may share my birthday with me after all!
