Blog | Big Day!
Today was a wonderful day, in every respect. We woke up this morning to a winter wonderland — yay! Jason and I took Brianna out for a few minutes while it was snowing to show her all the beautiful snow. She didn’t seem to quite understand what all the fuss was about. She will learn!
It snowed until about 1 PM. When all was said and done, our house looked like this. We had about 4 inches throughout most of the yard, but parts close to the house had over 6 inches due to drifts building up.
After it stopped snowing, we took Brianna out again to show her the kids sledding down the hills and to generally play in the snow.
She liked it better the second time, and only got fussy after we sat her down in the snow, most likely due to a combination of being tired and not being too sure about all that white cold stuff.
In between snow journeys and naps, Barack Obama was inaugurated. No matter your political persuasion, this was a huge day in our country’s history! Brianna really seemed to enjoy the few festivities she saw. I wonder what changes Brianna will see in her lifetime?
Lastly, our little munchkin has been teasing us for weeks with almost crawling (scootching around on her butt, repeatedly rolling over to get from point A to point B, etc) and almost getting herself back up on her butt from her tummy or back. Well, today she mastered one of them. When we went to get her out of her crib after a nap, this is the sight that greeted us:
She looks like a little jailbird! She has been in this position after each nap. As I am typing this, Jason says he finally saw her actually move back into a seated position all by herself. She will be moving before we know it!
What a day!
