Our first snow came in the first week of November. It wasn't much and we haven't had hardly any since then either. Oh well. We went through the annual "find your boots, mitts, hats and snow pants and see if they still fit and if not, can they be passed down to a brother?" The boys had fun shoveling the walk:
Go Alan Go!
Micah - probably wondering what all the white stuff is and why anyone would want to be outside when it is so cold.
The snow didn't last long but the boys made the most of it. They made one snow man and they started on 2 more before they got tired.
Micah started walking when he was 13 and a half months old. He was different from our other 2 in that he started taking a few steps here and there right when he turned a year old. He would take 2 or 3 or 4 steps and then fall and then crawl the rest of the way. Sometimes he even stood back up and took a few more steps but he never lasted more than 4 or 5 steps. He did this a lot but he was very tipsy until 13 and a half months. Then he just seemed to get it and he started walking more than crawling. Now, 2 months later, he is starting to run everywhere. It is so funny to see him swing one of his arms back and forth as he runs - I guess it helps him with his balance? He is eager to keep up with his brothers and loves to run after them.
I don't think we will be able to do this for very long - its getting kind of crowded!
