Emily's First Snow Storm

Today was the first snow storm of the winter and the first snow storm ever for Emily! We got all suited up in our snowsuit (thanks to aunt aud!), boots, hat, and mittens. Daddy and the dogs had fun jumping in the 17 inches of fresh snow. Thats ALOT for where we live! Once Daddy had cleared a nice path, Emily and I had to go out.



First we put on our snowpants...she didn't mind that so much and actually thought it was a little fun.


Then we added the coat...not so much fun after all she is thinking



I think she was in a bit of shock at first, just sort of stood there



Picture with Daddy!



We propped her up on the big snow wall lining the walkway.


Then she decided it actually wasn't fun at all! Maybe she'll like it the next time we go out :)

We have a CRAWLER!

Emily has been so close to crawling the last couple of weeks. On Thursday (12/3 - just shy of 9 mos old) she finally took that leap of faith and got up on both knees! That of course turned into a little hop forward and the rest is history :) She is still really slow and only goes a few hops forward until she goes back into a sitting position.

It is SO exciting to watch your baby meet these important milestones but every step forward reminds me how fast time goes by. She hasn't even been in the outside world as long as I was pregnant and yet we've seen her change and grow and become this little person in just 8/9 short months.

As I sit here updated our blog she is feeding herself her own bottle and chatting away...life is good
