Snow Days

We took Neil out for his first time in the snow. His Aunt Beth, Uncle John, and cousin Milo got him an infant sled for Christmas. And one thing that Pittsburgh is good for, is hills! So we didn't even have to leave our yard.

I wiped out (fell) on ice/snow on the steps, holding him, so he started out crying. He seemed tentative at first but seemed to like it after awhile.




And there's a real smile finally!

Daddy, not in the road!
He liked the snow on his hand

    3. Yeah, probably, depending on what size Ella needs at that point! It might mean digging around for it but I'll try to keep it where I'll remember. I have a 1 year size as well but it's too big for him. (This is 9 months.)

    4. hopefully something fits. granted i know a few others who have had babies too so maybe someone can lend something when we visit. i'd just hate to buy something myself just for 1 wear.

    1. Yeah I don't know how long they've been made but it's nice because we can pull him around. I want to get a slide we can both ride on but haven't gotten around to that yet. I figure he likes going down slides so maybe we can actually go down small hills as well.
