Winter Adventures

Fox has been having lots of wintertime adventures. We spent a day (more like ten minutes of a day) playing in the yard, where Fox's had his first purposeful encounter with snow. He liked it, until he tipped over and went face first into it. I think he expected it to be like a white blanket. The coldness seemed to surprise and scare him. I don't have photos of that, because I'm not a mean mommy. But here he is having fun before the spill. If you squint, you can see the tiny snowman Daddy built for him.

Fox has been practicing making a cute scrunched up face. I tried to capture it, but this is the best I could do. It's like half scrunched, which is also cute.


Since it is too cold to hang out outside every day, Fox and Daddy have all sorts of indoor adventures, too. Here is Fox riding around in his wagon with all his stuffed friends:


Fox's birthday is coming in just a few days. Because my dad can't be at the party, we had a dinner this past Saturday, where Fox got to have some cake ahead of time. At first, he wasn't sure what to think of the cake. He just played with it with his hands:


Then, he took his first tentative bites:



Before long, there was no stopping him. There was cake everywhere: his hair, the floor, his clothing, and all over his face.


After a while, though, he began to slow down. He'd had enough sugar to last another year. And his real birthday party hasn't even happened yet! Stay tuned for more fun times!
