Snowy January

It was quite a month of snow for us. There are now gigantic mounds of snow in front of our house- they even brought a bulldozer to lift the snow out of the parking lot. Thankfully there have been nice sunny days since then, when we can enjoy the snow. Lucy and I have even been cross-country skiing together once so far, with her in a backpack.


Here's our back deck after the multiple snowstorms- the snow is almost half-way up the railings!

Lucy is showing/developing more of her personality every day. She loves laughing and sometimes will start laughing on purpose so that we'll join in.


Here she is pointing during breakfast at the window to the back deck. She now also points at her toothbrush and at food that she wants. Lucy also is fascinated by a wood nativity set from the Congo that's on loan from my sister. She points eagerly at it whenever we walk by, and we let her hold baby Jesus and the sheep.

Lucy has discovered how to put her hand inside things- here it's in a toothpaste box- my Grandma is holding her. She thought it was so funny to wave the box around.

Lucy loves cruising along the walls. She often emits shrieks of joy as she moves along.

And her other favorite occupation, walking with us holding her hands. The basic theme here is movement.

And continuing with that theme. She has a great time pushing the kitchen stool around, and has even discovered how to go in reverse.

She's a little mellow in this video, probably right before a nap. I love how she peers to see where the ducky has gone.
