Snowbound

Well, we don't have alot to say...still.

Eric is off to a new semester of school, Oliver is trying his darndest to sit without crushing his innards (his version of sitting is to lean as far forward as possible just about resting his head on the floor), and I am learning the art of making mundane tasks entertaining to a 4 1/2 month old (which typically involves a ridiculous song about the task).

Vermont has been very cold recently, so we haven't been able to venture out a whole bunch. It may surprise ya'll, but the cut-off temperature for getting outside with a youngin' is around 20degrees and we haven't hit that much in the past 3 weeks or so. (20 degrees if you have an insulated, fur-lined, waterproof stroller cover...love my Bob stroller and accesories!) So, since we can't get out on a consistent basis we had to come up with something to do indoors that would give Oliver something to do besides "help" me clean, or lay on his back looking at a singing lion. We found the Pugabop, a jumperroo for heavyweights, and Oliver seems to have taken a liking to it.

Here are some videos demonstrating the cold white stuff and the Pugabop.

Greeting for the Bed-Bound

Hellooo!!!

So, I'm pretty tired because Oliver has not been sleeping well and thus this blog entry is basically just pictures of our life in the New Year. Enjoy viewing.

Oliver loves all things monkey, kind of fits his personality I think, here he is swinging with his monkey buddy, Banana.

This is what trying to entertain a very tired 4 month old looks like.

Snowy pictures of our town.

The florist shop down the street is so cute.

Trying rice cereal on a spoon...with an oliver take on the mohawk.

Laughing at daddy.
