Snow in January!

Bennett is 8 and a half months old and he got to see his first snowfall today.  It was absolutely beautiful!  We got about 4 inches of snow which means no work today!  So glad to be home with my family in the warmth enjoying the beautiful snowfall outside.  It started around midnight- after I fed him at midnight I peeked outside to see if the weatherman was right.  And sure enough, there was a light dusting on the ground but I didn't expect much at that point.  When my supervisor texted me right before 6:00 am telling me the office was closed, I jumped up and saw the ground covered in snow!  It was beautiful!!  And the snow was still falling!  Once it let up, around lunchtime, we bundled up and took Bennett outside to check it all out.  We didn't stay out there long because it was COLD but we let him touch it.  Enjoy our pictures!!

My handsome little guy!

So we've been snowed in all day just hanging out keeping this little fella entertained.  We might be staying home tomorrow too- depends on how the weather continues during the night.  They are calling for ice and bad weather once the temps drop low tonight. 

The other night we finally put Bennett in his big boy bath.  Yes, he is almost 9 months old and was still taking baths in his baby bath.  It was just easier that way and didn't hurt my back as much.  But he really was too big for that thing and we had bought him a little duckie bath months ago so we decided to try it out. At first, Bennett wasn't too sure about it- it was big and bright yellow.  But we put him in there with some of his toys and he started playing and having fun.  It's a little more tricky washing his hair.  Of course we took pictures to commemorate the event. 

This face is just priceless!

Just hanging out!

And here are just some random pictures we've taken so far in January.  In about a week we'll be taking Bennett's 9 month chair pictures!  9 months already- wow!!!
