Winter Walks

Jack's "I will not move my head, just my eyes" method of looking around.

Yes, there is a little guy bundled up in there

Winter has not been too kind to us in Minnesota this year. So, last week, when it was 30 degrees, we jumped on the chance to go for a winter wonderland walk. This was momentous for several reasons: 1) we were able to go on a family walk, something that Nathaniel and I have loved to do for years and 2) it was Jack's first time in the stroller facing forward and not in his car seat. We could not get over how big he looked with his little legs hanging over the seat. Selfishly, we don't like it as much because he is not facing us. However, it is so fun to watch him take everything in. It cracks us up, because he becomes VERY quiet, not making any noises at all-he is too busy soaking everything up with his eyes. He also does not move his head. He stays very still and only moves his wide eyes to look around. It is HILARIOUS! You can just see the synapses in his brain firing away like crazy, as he is learning about the world around him.  

A funny side story about him in this winter snow suit-we were at Target and a little boy who was maybe 5 came running up to him as he was in the stroller and said, "he looks like a frog!"  Now, whenever he is in the snowsuit, I can't help but think he kind of does :)
