It has been just beautiful – mysteriously beautiful for winter! I like winter actually – the snow covered trees, snow angels and being cuddled up inside with a mug of cocoa when it is just too blistery to venture out. This year I actually have plans to make snow ice cream with Tate, but wouldn’t you know, it just hasn’t snowed enough!
Tate, Chase and I went on a fun hike around Evergreen Lake yesterday and out to lunch, both boys did famously. Tate lead the whole way and loved it…couldn’t stop talking about it. He is becoming such a little boy. I was wondering if he was going to dig the hike on our own, but colored me surprised, he was totally jazzed about the adventure and was happy to be the “man” of the day and just laughed, ran and talked the entire time! Great fun, something we will have to repeat regularly! It was the perfect length too, sometimes we have attempted hikes that I think are a touch too long for him yet.
We have been playing on the deck – here Tate is showing Chase how to ride on his toy, totally adorable! Chase loves going down the slide…he giggles and giggles, I will try to get it on video.
And this little guy! It seems like in the last few weeks he has really chunked up. I don’t know what it is, but when I pick him up lately he seems to be more solid, more musculy or something. He loved the hike we went on, too. I am getting pretty good with putting Chase on my back in the Ergo. At first, I thought for sure if I did it alone he would pop off my back before I could get him snug. But I think because he is strong, he just holds himself in place pretty much (well my back is pretty flat) until I can clip him in.
Happy boy!
