CRAZY snowfall!

Yesterday, the storm of the season hit us. We ended up with about 2 feet of snow in all. Alex went outside for a total of about 15 mintes before he grew really tired of the cold and the wind and actually ran to our door wanting to go back inside. I can't say I blame the poor boy. It was beyond freezing and the snow was almost up to his chest! So we spent most of the day inside, playing and watching good ole TV all day. He actually grew so bored of his toys and being inside the house that we gave him a small Christmas present early! LOL. Amaya spent the entire day inside and chilled in her swing for a few minutes while we let her brother experience the "great outdoors" and let her Daddy attempt to shovel. Now we're just hanging around, and planning what Christmas shopping still needs to be done. Hopefully, we will be able to do some shopping tomorrow. We will see! Enjoy some of our photos in the snow!

Amaya's First Smiles!

A babys first "real" smile is the best thing in the world, isn't it? After 5 weeks of dipaers changes, pumping in the middle of the night, and 3 AM feedings and rocking back to sleep session, Amaya finally smiled back at me last night. I was up late feeidng her and rocking her in her room, trying to get her back to sleep around 1 AM, and she just looked up and smiled a couple times before drifting off to sleep . This morning I was able to catch her precious smile on camera, so enjoy these first cute smiles. I know we are!

 

Christmas Portraits

Just wanted to share some of our Christmas portraits. They're mostly of Amaya. Like I said in the last post, Alex did not want to cooperate! Oh well, there's always next year? :)
