Momma, what doing?

Last week (before the blizzard) Q and I were walking in the state park. He was leading, of course, and about every 50 yards he'd turn around and use the questioning pose of upturned palms, tilted head and shrugging shoulders to ask "Momma, what doing?"

I don't think there's anything cuter in the world. I would love to catch a video of it sometime.

His new word this week is found/find. Also adorably cute. We've had to search for Buzz ("Where Buzz?") several times a day since Christmas so he's had a lot of practice learning the word. Now he gets excited when he's looking for one of us and says "I found you!"

I LOVE this little guy!

It has also been a joy to see him discover snow. The first day was the most fun because there was only about 5 inches. Since then it's about a foot, which is the whole length of his legs so, walking in it is not so fun. He loves it until it gets in his face. Watching the wonder on his face! He and Daddy made a snowman the first day and tramped around to look at everything. We tried sledding, which is fun until it sprays in your face again. He was completely silent for about the first 15 minutes of our drive out in it yesterday, just watching everything in white. I have to say it was beautiful to look at when I didn't feel the need to focus on the road so much. Thankfully a snow plow has visited our little road or we never would have made an escape. I love driving on white roads!
