More Snow!

We are officially snowed in! Here's a glimpse of what it looks like outside...isn't it beautiful!

I tried another attempt at getting Madison Claire's picture out in the snow and it didn't go so well. She must have remembered the torture from yesterday because as soon as I tried to put her down in the snow she started crying and reaching up to me. She still looked so cute bundled up that I couldn't resist posting a few of these.

SNOW!!

We had a lot of snow in Nashville today! I think it is around 5 or 6 inches and it's still snowing! Madison Claire still isn't feeling that great but I couldn't pass up a good picture in the snow. We bundled her up and out we went. This is the first picture of putting her down in the snow:

She was pretty happy while she was sitting up but then when she leaned forward to crawl and her hands got in the snow she got really upset! I'm sure her little hands were freezing!!

Here she is before we go inside...screaming...as if she was saying "I like the beach, not the snow"! I wanted to try again with some mittens on her hands, but I couldn't find the one pair that I have, so I put some socks on her hands instead! Here we are for Round 2:

Hopefully next year she'll be able to enjoy the snow a little more!

Getting into Mommy's purse

Stomach bug - oh no!

The stomach bug hit our house this week and it was a bad one. Tuesday afternoon Madison Claire threw-up around 1pm. I've never seen so much come out of such a little body. I swear it looked like she threw up 4 cups at once. She was so scared - her eyes got so big. Annie and I both kind of froze. I was in the middle of a work call but was in the kitchen so I saw it all happening. I quickly ended my call and we got her cleaned up. After that she was the happiest little baby on the block!

Wednesday afternoon I started feeling bad and that night it really hit. I was up all night and still didn't feel good on Thursday morning. Annie got it on Wednesday night too so she and I were both in bad shape on Thursday. Luckily, Ryan was able to stay home for most of the day to help with Madison Claire so I could rest. He started feeling bad Thursday afternoon and went downhill on Thursday night.

At the end of the day, Ryan lost 7 pounds, I lost 3 pounds, and Madison Claire lost at least 1 if not more. Rough week! Our drink of choice (for the whole family) was lemon lime gatorade...

Washa Washa

Madison Claire's favorite thing to do these days is wash her hands. If you say to her "Washa Washa" she'll get a big smile and start rubbing her hands together...so cute!

Big Girl!

Madison Claire is looking so big to us lately! Like she grew up overnight!
