Let It Snow

The Snow Fairy finally paid us a visit this week. Being the good employee that he is, Rob went to work...something I admire him for but clearly don't understand. When I was working I would call the office hotline every morning before even looking out the window if there was even a slight chance of a delay or closing. I was disappointed 99.9% of the time and would have to drag myself out of bed. Not Rob, I told him his office was closed based on the school closings and he laughed and pressed on (must be his upstate NY roots). Plus it really was only an inch or two. So I introduced Holden to the snow myself and realized it was impossible to take pictures other than a self portrait of the 2 of us while I was holding him, and a picture of him in his stroller parked on the snowy driveway.

In other news, I think we have officially entered the joy of teething. He's been pretty fussy, drooly, wants to nurse constantly (with biting - lucky me), waking up in the middle of the night...lots of fun stuff. As my cousin said, why can't they be born with a full mouth of teeth? I don't feel anything yet but I can see the white under his gums. Here's hoping it passes quickly for all of our sakes!

A few gym classes and a playdate with Riley and new friend Jack finished off the week. And of course he watched Bruce rock the halftime show tonight with a little football thrown in.

Trying to contain his excitement before heading out in his 1st snow

A whole lot of effort on my part to get us both bundled up and out and was it worth it? His expression says it all (he's bawling if you can't tell). I should have put a big snowball directly on his teething gums.

"Leg lifts" - I need to be participating as well!

Teething is so not fun. We had an awful week last week, so I feel for you! Screw Bruce...what did Holden think of the Steelers? :)
