The Best Snowman Snow Ever!

It rained for 3 hours before it changed over to snow. I think there's around 5 inches so far and it's still snowing. The wet snow makes it hard to shovel, but great for snowmen and igloos (or eggloo as Andy calls it). The Bradford Pears that were in full bloom are now encased in ice and snow and hanging very low to the ground. I just hope they don't break and fall on the house tonight.

What a Difference a Week Makes!

Last weekend we were playing at the park with temps in the 60's. This weekend we are stuck inside with snow coming down!

Late Entry and Misc. pics

On Feb. 28th, we had 5 inches of snow. This was the best snow fall we have had all year. We took advantage of the day with some sledding and snowman building with our friends, Sofia and Josh.




Sammy pictures I couldn't resist posting:

7 Months Old!

Sammy is 7 months old today. She is a very quiet baby! I guess she figures Andy makes enough noise for both of them. She will let you know, though, when it's time to eat. She LOVES solid foods. She is quickly making her way through the first foods and loves every one of them. She sits in her booster waiting with her mouth wide open. She barely swallows before her mouth is open for more. She loves her food so much that she is starting to refuse her bottles:(.

Sammy has also started (consistently) sleeping through the night. We had a small set back with her recent ear infection. But, now she is back on track.

She is getting better and better at sitting up. She can almost make it around the block sitting in the wagon with Andy. But Andy inisists on so many stops and side trips that she still gets tired towards the end.

6 Months

Scott took Sammy to her 6 months well child check today. She weighs 13 lbs 11 oz (10%) and is 25" tall (25%). At this age, her brother weighed 15 lbs 9 oz and was also 25" tall. Between the shots and a poor morning nap (the appointment was during her morning nap), she had a rough day.

Look who's 6 months old!

Today is Sammy's 6 month birthday! This was a month of a lot of firsts.


She found her feet! As with all new things, she likes to put them in her mouth.



She is close to sitting up on her own.




We started cereal this week. She loves it! She does get a bit frustrated when her tongue pushes the food out instead of in, but she's learning.

Sammy is quickly mastering the jumper.

Andy's New Glasses

A couple of weeks ago, at Andy's first eye exam, we learned that he needed glasses. They arrived yesterday. Not the most exciting development and getting him to actually wear the glasses has been a challenge. Oh well, if it helps him read, it's worth it. I'm not looking forward to the first time we lose them, but I know it's coming!
