Snow, Snow and More Snow!

We have had several snow events so far this year in Connecticut. Aaron and Helena have really "warmed up" to the idea of playing in the snow. On Martin Luther King Day, we spent almost 45 minutes playing in the snow.

It took some time to get used to walking through the snow, but Aaron and Helena got the hang of it quickly

The only part of playing in the snow that frustrated Aaron was when his gloves came off. He loves to shake the snow all around, but disappointingly his gloves easily fall off.



21 Months

Aaron and Helena are 21 months old now. They are both able to run, jump, and wrestle with one another. They have learned to use a fork and spoon fairly well and enjoy singing and dancing. Aaron continues to love making simple puzzles and creating tall towers with his blocks. Helena continues to nurture her babies and spend time with her Elmo Live doll. She also loves to color with her new crayons and Aquadoodle she recieved for Christmas. Both Aaron and Helena are talking more and more with each day and like to try to say every word they hear Mommy and Daddy say. What fun!


Aaron and Helena love to play in their pop-up tunnel, a treasured first birthday gift. They have so much fun crawling through after one another. It is a great toy to play with when the cold weather prevents us from being outside for too long.

Helena pretends she is a giraffe

Aaron enjoys rolling his soccer ball through the tunnel


What a charmer!
