Snow Baby

For the second time in Little Man's short life our city is experiencing winter weather. We had a white Christmas with just a little snow, but this morning we woke up to 3 or inches covering the ground outside. Everything is closed, and we are enjoying the rare snowstorm from the warm and snugly comfort of our home.

We bundled up Little Man this morning and took him outside to experience the snow--believe it or not, we had a snow suit someone had given us before he was born that I had stowed away in the back of his closet just in case. Zipped up and hood on, he was so snugged up that he toppled over whenever he tried to sit up.

On the whole, Little Man was pretty unimpressed with the snow--although he did like the snowball his Daddy made for him. I think the idea of propelling balls of frozen stuff across the parking lot appealed to his manliness on some level, even as a 5-month-old. We showed him our cars, all covered in snow, and Husband built him a little snowman on the hood of his car. All the excitement wore him out, and he is now sleeping in his swing.

He won't remember it, but we took lots of pictures so we can show Little Man what he was like when Mama pulled out the unlikely snow suit and made him a Snow Baby.
