Jan 31st Snow - 4.5 inches

Okay, there are quite a few series of snow pictures to post, as you can imagine since we've been bombarded with one snow after the next, but I'll have to do them in sequence. This is from the weekend of Jan 31st when we got 4.5 - 5 inches of white stuff. It's funny to look back at these pictures because after our most recent snow, this seems like a dusting!

Baker loves the snow about as much as any toddler could. He asks for "toe" pretty much everyday in the winter and lucky for him, he's gotten it a lot of it. This was the perfect amount of snow because it's manageable - he wasn't completely enveloped in it, the sidewalks are clear and the roads are clean by the next day so we can go places.

He loved taking his shovel and bucket out this time and throwing it everywhere!

By the looks of it, you'd think he was doing a little Downward Dog yoga pose but he was actually trying to get up from the ground in his new boots and slippery sidewalk.

In an attempt to go back inside, Baker was a little sidetracked by the snow bound in our patio area and insisted on crawling up and down the other side. He's definitely not afraid to get down in the wet stuff!

Desperately wanted to take his hat off!
