The Weekend That Was
Nothing too crazy. We've had BEAUTIFUL weather in NY lately (knock on wood) and we are trying to take advantage of getting out while balancing out our home chores.
I took Matthew to church on Saturday (I usually go by myself - it's been tough to go as a family, with Noah being a maniac and all). He was well-behaved and quiet. He colored and played with his little action figures. And when all was said and done, he was actually sad to leave.
Noah is starting to master drinking from a sippy.
We went to BJs on Sunday and Matthew asked if he could have baby doughnuts (read: Munchkins), so we stopped at the DD drive thru.
Sunday night Matt gave Noah his first West Point Cadet haircut. No more "baby" hair.
And I played around on Instagram after the boys were in bed.
It's cold today, but we are going to "heat up" this week into the 40s and 50s. Spring is coming - I can feel it! :-)

Some video fun
Matt's birthday was this past Tuesday. We don't really do gifts for each other, but I still like to make the day special (especially since Matthew is REALLY into birthdays - parties and presents of course). So, when the boys got up on Tuesday (long after Matt had already left for work), I made this video. I think it's too cute not to share:

Winter Blues
According to the news, by January 21st last year we had already had 31 inches of snow in NY. The average for the young month is 9 inches. Saturday, we got about 5-6. So all in all, not so bad. But still unwelcome! I was enjoying our seasonably warm winter until this hit.
But we tried to make the best of it. Since it was Saturday, we didn't have to be anywhere. So Matt started a fire.
And at about 8AM our house already looked like this. Notice Noah, standing at the train table, surveying the damage. 
We were lazy for a bit. Watched some movies.
Played with some "new" toys that we brought out from storage.
And just basically hung out (and for some reason, we hang out in the kitchen a lot).
Every 10 seconds, Matthew asked if we could go outside and go sledding. I told him no 50 million times. Then I finally told him yes. Think he was happy about that?
We bundled up a-la Randy in A Christmas Story.
Matthew was happy just to walk in the fluffy stuff.
I took him to the school for a little sledding. And we stayed out until our noses were runny and we couldn't feel our hands.
Then we warmed up inside and Matthew busted my chops to play my iPad.
Today we're scheduled to get close to 50 degrees. That's more my winter style! The snow was a nice change for the day, but I'm over it!

9 Months Old
9 months old as of yesterday. Such a big boy now.
Stands like a pro. Cruises along furniture and people.
Cute little gummy smile.
And active isn't strong enough a word to describe him. Most of the pictures I take look like this. 
1st birthday party planning is under way! I'll give you 3 guesses on it's theme (and the first two don't count!).
