Snow Day

Our first year back in Lewiston and it has the worst snowstorm since 1996. Chase went off the road in his car on his way to work! Luckily he and the car are just fine. But it had to stay in a parking lot snowed in for a few days. We hadn't even purchased snow gear for Laken because snow almost never sticks in the valley. So we braved the roads and found her a pair of snow pants and snow boots that will hopefully fit Riv next year. Here are the pictures of her first time playing in the snow! She was so serious and just kind of stared at it. She could barely walk in it, and ended up sitting down and watching while Chase built half of a snowman in the yard. She came in early for hot chocolate with Mom;) Brrrr! 

How?

How do you take a good picture of two kids under the age of two? I try and I try..... 

 

And after several failed attempts.....sister bails and brother breaks out in the cutest smiles.....however my camera blows and for some reason all the photos today are blurry :/  Someday right!

Food Take 2.....I Love It!

Day 2 of food, River was prepared with a bib this time! 

 

And he LOVES IT!

 

Notice the sneaky / slightly jealous toddler climbing in the background?

 

She just wanted to get in on the camera action and give brother a little head pat!  But don't let her fool you....a few moments later it turned into a smack......the joys of having a toddler sister;)

First Food!

At 4 and a half months River had his first taste of food with whole grain rice cereal. He took it really well! He sort of played with it with his tongue but was able to swallow some right away! He quickly had enough and was ready for his bottle! 

Sleep Baby Sleep

I love him so much....and I want to remember how peaceful he looks when he sleeps. I just stare in awe of him....watching his eyelids flutter, smelling his sweet breath, and sneaking a little cheek rub here and there. Stay this little Sweet Riv!
