I'm getting to like this bundling up stuff, because I know I get to go outside again and play in the snow. I don't know what Papa's talking about....this white stuff is awesome! If shoveling is anything like building a snow man, sign me up! :-)
We built a big snowman.....but, I know
Brandon, we couldn't find a button nose, so it's just one of Frosty's friends... 
It was a little windy, so we did it in record time.
It's twice the size of me!!!
Today I woke up to a blanket of white stuff on the ground...it was everywhere! 
Bridger and daddy went outside to "work" (looked more like play to me)
and I couldn't wait to get out there...
Mommy made sure I was all bundled and warm....oh - this is going to be fun!!!1
A blanket of snow..... why do they call it a blanket? It's not very warm! Today was my first day ever that I got to go outside and play in the snow.
Bridger introduced me to the good stuff - hmmmm.....doesn't taste like much.
But still very intriguing!
This week I got to meet some new friends....I had heard lots about them but now I finally got to meet them. I wish they lived closer, because I know we could have a lot of fun together. I wish I hadn't spent the first few hours shy.
Then mommy took me outside where the sun was shining and melting the snow and we played and watched Bridger run around with our neighbor dogs...
Lately I have been into getting into everything.... I like to think of it as helping mommy put away the laundry, but I guess it's more fun to take the clothes OUT of the drawer after she's put them all away :-)
I've also been concentrating (note: the face) on 
walking with my new scooter-toy. It's wicked fast, but sometimes it gets ahead of me and I tumble. KABOOM - and then we clap :-)
Bridger and I are still good buds. She has learned to put up with a lot of my need for a jungle gym to climb on....but I am starting to learn how to play with her (I like to watch mommy/daddy play catch with her). Her toys look just like mine, but mommy/daddy seem to want to keep them away from me (haven't quite figured that one out yet).
Cousin Drew and I had a bonding weekend. First, Noni, Auntie and Mommy took us to get our pictures taken. I didn't think I would like sharing the lime-light, but it was a lot of fun. We were on opposing teams for
the superbowl, b/c his daddy his a Bears fan and my Mommy and Papa won't allow it for me. I didn't really watch the game much anyways....too late, past my bedtime.
This weekend I got to bond with daddy and bridger; I got to crawl around a lot;
cuddle with Bridger
and learn how to climb up on more things..... I'm starting to understand that there are some things I can't play with....but I haven't quite learned to take that defeat happily :-) Mommy....be patient, I'll get there.
My Uncle Ty came to visit me (with Auntie Erika) a couple weeks ago and he gave me a lesson on how to play the guitar (like my daddy does).
There is something about Uncle Ty 
that I captures my full attention...
I know we're going to great buddies when I get a little bigger and can play catch with him and play this game called...."Bags".
But for now, I just like listening to his
voice and his jam sessions with daddy.
My Auntie and Uncle threw this great holiday party this weekend, and I got to hang out with my cousins 
My Auntie let me sleep over in her house...
but it was hard to go to sleep after
playing with all my cousins and aunties...
and Hailey of course too :-)
I just had to show everybody my brand new cousin...
She is just perfect.... so dainty and 
little and sweet and 
I just can't wait til she gets a little bigger so I don't look like I"m going to squash her :-) Right now she's really sleepy... but it won't be long and we'll be running around our grandparents' yards and playing tag, making snowmen, and going on bike rides too!
This is my new trick I learned this weekend...
I really concentrate hard, 
and sometimes get a little too brave...
but that's okay - I'll just keep trying til I get it.... (can't tell who I get my determination traits from more - mommy or daddy :-)
