Chompy goes to the snow…

He liked it, except for his snow boots.  Those he did not like, so we went in our regular shoes and then we were happy!

 

We learned an important trick.  How to throw a snowball!

Since he likes it, Momma’s gonna get him a snowsuit that fits   This is one of his from last year, but since we could zip it up, we figured it would work for a day while we see if he’d even tolerate being outside.  Now, we know, so cheap snow gear, here we come.

Mater…

needs naps too.

I love this…

I love having a boy now…bye bye little baby.  Welcome to the boy who races cars on his town map and “helps” Daddy and I make fun Duplo towns.  This year is going to be AWESOME!

Because he’s that cute…

I just think this guy is too precious!  LOVE HIM!!! 

18 Months (ALREADY!) YIKES….

Chompy is now 18 months old.  1 1/2 years old…an official toddler!!  WOW! That went so fast!  I have a new perspective on baby-hood.  It’s over in an instant.  I hope to keep being able to cherish each milestone and moment with Chompy as he grows!   He’s such a delight!
