Walking in a Winter Wonderland

A few days ago it snowed a whole lot, and then warmed up enough to play outside a little. With some baggy snow pants and some big snow boots, Henry is a little unsteady in the white stuff. So, he held Mommy's hand for most of the way, after taking a tumble and getting a face-full of snow. But, he loves being outside, so once he realizes we're going out, he gets pretty excited, no matter how cold it is. Earlier, we had a little less snow, and he was able to walk around himself, crawl, get himself up, and make snow angels!

I love holding Henry's hand. It took us awhile for him to get better at holding hands, which was a surprise for me. As soon as he was able to walk on his own, that's all he wanted to do - walk on his own. And not hold hands. But, we insisted, and now he's much better! Which makes me so happy! And you know, where he's not running through stores is a good thing.
