20 Inches of Snow!

On December 19th, we had about 20 inches of snow fall in the DC metro area.  It was the first time I saw snow and felt snow!

Daddy had to shovel it all off of the driveway in about three batches because the snow was coming down so quickly.

After it stopped, Mommy and Daddy quickly made a snowman for me while I was napping.    It wasn’t the best snow for making snowmen, but with their joint effort, my first snowman was made!

Here’s how Mommy and Daddy got creative with the parts of the snowman:

Eyes = dog biscuits

Eyebrows = squash

Nose = carrots

Smile = raisins

Buttons = carrots

Arms = tree branches

Finally Spoon-Fed.

Ever since we got back from France, Mommy has been spiking the breast milk with cereal GongGong and PoPo got for me in France.

So, yes, I am eating “solids,” but it’s kind of cheating when you “drink solids” from a bottle.

So, Mommy tried feeding me with a spoonful of cereal dabbed with a small amount of breast milk and it actually worked!  At first, I was exhibiting some tongue thrusts, but then I started to understand the concept of swallowing.  I’ll wrinkle my brow a bit because this cereal does taste a bit funny when it’s served on a spoon.   Mommy diligently feeds me about 1 tablespoon a day using a cool spoon made in Japan by a company called Pigeon given to her by Aunt Ching-Chun.  Thank you, Auntie ChingChun…the soft-coated spoon is perfectly wonderful!

Daddy (who, by the way, NEVER ventures into Whole Foods for anything) went to Whole Foods to buy me some Baby Yum Yum.

It is a cool rice cracker for people like me…babies! Thanks to Auntie Ching-Chun for this idea too.  I like it, but I tend to break it into smaller pieces and Bossie ends up following me around trying to get a piece of the Yum Yum cracker.
