We finally got some snow this winter. Honestly I haven't missed not having snow but it is nice to have it brighten up the landscape. :)
We got about 6 inches on Wednesday and it is snowing again now. I don't watch TV or listen to the radio or anything so I have no idea what the forecast is! It is more fun to just see what comes. :) I LOVE not having to worry about driving in bad weather for work anymore...I don't know how I did it for so many years!! Alice always told me I'd look back and wonder that but I didn't believe her until now. :)
Anyway, Lydia and I went out and played in the snow a few times on Wed. Here is a video of her very first walk in the snow.




After this I got her little red sled out and pulled her around. She was a huge fan of that! We did it again in the afternoon for maybe a half hour and she still wanted to go more!
We'll definitely be doing more "sledding" (i.e. Mommy pulling the sled) this winter. :) We plan on taking the sled along on Saturday morning when we go to cut down our Christmas tree (that Jake traded 5 dozen eggs for, lol). That should be fun, I'm looking forward to it!! :) :)

Today we had a WIC appt. Lydia was 27 pounds, 9 ounces and 32 inches long (tall?). That puts her in the 90th %tile for weight and 89th for height. I'm not sure if she might even be a little longer than that since she was crying and squirming for the measurement. She was sure I was going to leave her with the lady for some reason and as soon as I stood up to help get her measurements she started crying. She calmed down quickly after I sat down again. ...still waiting for her to get over this clingy stage. Although, on the other hand, I am glad she doesn't trust people she doesn't know too. I'd much rather have her clinging to me than being willing to go to anyone and everyone.
Over the weekend we turned her car seat to forward facing because we thought she might be getting close to 30 pounds. I would have preferred to keep her rear facing longer but our car seat's limit is 30 so we switched her. It is nice to be able to look back and see her face now and I think she is more comfortable not having to sit with her knees bent now. One down side is that when she drops a toy it goes on the floor instead of hitting the back of the seat though...she's gonna have to learn to keep them on her lap now. :) So, she made it to 17 months rear facing. Maybe Anna will be lighter and make it longer than that. ;)
