Snow Baby!

We are having one of the worst winter storms I have seen in this area, and I took the opportunity to bundle Liam up and introduce him to snow for the first time!

What is this?

It's getting in my eyes and it's cold!
Maybe I'll try some....
It's not so bad!

Our neighborhood has been transformed to a winter wonderland, and we are not allowed to travel. I have not heard the totals for our area, but a city near by got 0.75 inches of ice along with this snow! We have a fair amount too. It basically is a sandwich of a few inches of snow, ice, then a few more inches of snow.
Everyone around here is hoping not to lose power!

I am starting to wonder if our Little Man is going through a three month growth spurt. He has been wanting to eat a lot, has been sleeping more during the day, and been more easily fussy. Last night, the poor little guy was just crying and refusing to sleep for at least an hour, and didn't crash until 1am. Nothing would console him for long, but he had a clean diaper and plenty to eat. He didn't seem to be sick, so I was thinking either he was having growing pains or somehow was too stimulated later in the evening. It often sounded like he was trying to talk to me, as he would sometimes let out a long series of sounds almost like sentences. It was one of those times, I really wished I could understand him!

Oh, and a few more pictures I had to add now the sun came out. Winter can be so pretty!

From the trees, it appears we got between a quarter to a half inch of ice:

What happens if you are stupid enough to drive....
