Winter Wonderland

Dearest Joshua David~

Welcome to our Winter Wonderland! This morning, we woke up to lots of snow on the ground! How exciting! It doesn't snow that often here in North Carolina, so when it does snow, it's a pretty big deal.

Daddy and I walked you all around the house so that you could see all the snow. There was snow covering the back deck, the yard, the roads, and all over daddy's car!

We took it real easy today. Of course, with all the snow, we were trapped in the house, but since you and I don't leave the house too often that wasn't a big deal. Daddy went to the grocery store thursday evening, so we were prepared for all this.

You slept a lot during the morning. Daddy and I watched some television and drank some hot chocolate. :-)

You started your nightly fussiness later in the evening, and it didn't last as long as other nights. You appeared to be a little constipated, because it took you a long time to have a good diaper. :-P At one point, you acted hungry so we warmed a bottle. Once we started to feed you, you didn't want any! Little man, don't you know that once you start drinking from a bottle we only have an hour until the bottle is no good anymore (due to bacteria build up)? You were really pushing that entire hour to take that bottle. After about an hour, you were out, and there was about 20ml left of milk. Oh well, you still took 80ml overall, so it wasn't a complete loss.

I don't know how long this snow will last, but we're enjoying it! When you get bigger, we'll bundle up in coats and make a snowman. I'll also show you how to make snow angels as well. When your Uncle James and I were little, we used to sled down the hills in the subdivision. :-) In college, we had a big snow storm so my friends and I took trays from the cafeteria and went sledding!

Ok little man .... sleep tight!

I love you so very much! :-)
