first snow adventure of the season!

We went for a snowy adventure today to do some sledding, make snow angels and have a snowball fight. Unfortunately, we got to the snow park pretty late so didn't have tons of time to play, but it was good enough to just get the girls comfortable with the idea of snow again. Like the beach, I think it will take Nora a few more trips before she's not scared to walk around on her own. Evie, though, was an old pro and ran off to romp in the snow and even went sledding on her own!

Ready to start a snowball fight!

This was Nora for the first 10 minutes of being outside.

It was pretty quiet and not crowded at all!

By the end of the day, Nora was just a teeny bit happier.
Getting Skittles didn't hurt either.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted! We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

1 week checkup

We took Nora to her one week check up today and guess what? We have a porker on our hands! She weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. That's 2.5 oz more than her birth weight! They want the baby to be back at birth weight within 2 weeks so she beat that milestone pretty handily. Hooray! So far, she's been better than Evie at eating (she doesn't take nearly as long, although she falls asleep VERY often) but she's not as good as Evie at pooping. Poor thing always seems to have tummy issues - she's very squirmy and fussy when she doesn't burp or poop. The doc doesn't think it's a big problem though since she still has lots of wet diapers, but we'll have to keep a better eye on it now. We'll have another doctor check up (with shots!) next week.

Poor little Nora! This little munchkin was running after her sister when we were out on a walk yesterday and tripped. She banged her face up pretty good, but thankfully it wasn't worse. A big ole egg! she didn't like me trying to clean those scratches breakfast thus morning! Lots of jam on her face to match her war wounds!
