Mindless Meanderings of Schroedawg

Mr. Man is still army crawling, although he appears to be attempting the full blown crawl. He mostly tries this if he is only in his diaper and has no other way of scooting across the floor on his belly. He is quite comical as we have reflective tiles in the kitchen and he has noticed his reflection in them and has started kissing his face. We couldn't figure out what he was doing until we realized what he saw. He is eating everything under the sun...okay, not really, but he is enjoying his solid foods a lot more. He sure loves blueberries and he gets super excited when he's waiting for more. He has finally migrated to sleeping fully on his own, in his own bed, all night. That has been the best thing since sliced bread for Brad and I! We are pretty proud. ;) He is gaining strength with standing for longer increments of time and has learned to pull himself up on one of us if we're lying on the floor or even the stairs.

It is rare to have days off, due to snow, here in the PacNW. We have days allotted for it in our school calendars and the world literally shuts down. However, Madelynne had one a few weeks ago due to about 4 inches of wet snow that plummeted the area. Pt. Townsend, of course, barely got anything, and with our care provider getting ill that morning, I ended up staying home with the kids. Maddy enjoyed the snow, and Jaxson had fun watching her play and watching the dogs play, too. Helped build a snowman Catching snowflakes Dancing in the snow Noelle had a blast That lone tear drop, though.  Had fun on the trampoline Watching it snow Making me laugh Mmmmm Good hot cocoa!
