The Great Sherpa Hat Hunt

We went to Target this weekend with Julie, who came for a visit. We went on the Great Sherpa Hat Hunt of 2012. And James was sick of his car seat, understandably. So we let him out. It took two blankets and a hoodie to get him stable enough in those big ol' Target carts. But he loved it. And best part for him was chewing on the cart. And, yuck. I tried putting his paci in so he wouldn't chew on it, but he just spit it back out. The boy is getting to smart for his own good (or probably it's mine).

And commence cuteness.









And in case you were wondering, Julie found a hat at Burlington. The End.

Snow! And Winter! Finally!

Here it is mid-January and we have barely had a flurry. I was pretty sure we weren't going to get a winter this year. But finally. A whole like, inch of snow! It's amazing though what a little bit of wintery weather can do to do traffic, and how much of it I can see right from my window. You know it's bad when it's a parking lot where we live. But it was one of those times when it snowed and then the temperature dropped so quickly everything turned to ice and then Jamo got to work from home (one of the perks of his new job). It was quite a lovely day.

And a few weeks ago we were at the Old Navy and found this snow suit for James. And I know he's still small and won't get much use out of it, but it was $6! Amazing. And then we found this monster hat and we had to grab it. The Old Navy stole all our money this year, sigh.

And so here is our 4 minute trip outdoors to try out our warmest, cutest, cuddliest snow baby!


Ma and Baby

Pa and Baby

Snow Baby! A finger might have escaped. He had absolutely no idea what to think of this adventure. I think the wind was the worst part. But oh was he cute.

He's looking particularly chubby in this one, which doesn't happen often, so it must be posted! Plus again, the cuteness!

And when we were putting on his snow suit oh how he giggled. This might be my favorite shot of him of the day.

And now I'm kind of sad he's asleep and not playing with me.
