It is co-old here in Boise. Not just normal winter weather cold either, it was 1 degree when I drove to work yesterday, 1! We got a ton of snow last week (for Boise at least) and it has stayed on the ground due to the frigid temperatures, which means that I have a happy husband.
We made the best of the cold last weekend by cozying up, making crockpot chili, and enjoying a lot of football and some time with good friends. After a day of staying cozy inside, we thought that it might be good to get out of the house for some fresh air. We stacked on layer upon layer of clothing and headed out with a mission to get hot chocolate. Grady didn't seem to be bothered by the chilly temperatures and was asleep within minutes. It cracked me up when I opened the stroller cover at the coffee shop to discover his hat had drifted down and was covering half his face.
We got our hot chocolates and felt like we'd conquered old man winter despite our slipping and sliding all the way home. We were THE ONLY people we saw walking outside. I don't know if we are adventurous or just stupid.
I love when we come in from the cold to this happy face. When Chris was a baby he had the most adorable red, red cheeks. Grady has the same adorable red, red cheeks! I cannot get enough of them!
No better way to warm up than with a warm bath.
In other news, Grady has joined the bumbo club just about in time to be sitting on his own. When most babies like this little seat at 3 months or so, Grady would have none of it. He'd arch his back, flail his arms and and kick and scream, but now, when he is on the brink of sitting on his own, he has decided that he likes it. Good thing his skinny legs can still fit in the holes.
He sat on his own without the bumbo last night for what seemed like forever, but was probably a minute at most :). It is so weird to see our kid just chilling there on his own - upright! It is also crazy how happy it makes me. Who new that sitting could be so exciting!
Grady had a date with Miss Kennedy to cheer on the Seakawks. This girl is the most joyous little baby out there and looked darn cute in her little Seahawks dress.
Cutie!
"Look at this cute girl that I get to sit next to!"
"She is touching me, oh I hope that she wants to be my girlfriend?"
And while it is pretty freezing here, it sure is beautiful.
Morning: This is our view when we let Bella out in the morning.
Day: This is what I stare at out my office window.
Night: Chris shovels sidewalks by moonlight because he loves it so much. He makes me smile.
