Sledding

After all the snow we got the past couple of weeks, we finally found a hill to take Dallin sledding. It was a lot of fun. It was a little harder to do since we didn't want Alyssa out very much, but she finally went outside for the first time not in her car seat. It was a fun family adventure!

Daddy holding Alyssa all bundled up.

Dallin getting ready to go down all by himself.

He looked so cute walking back up the hill.

He just loved rolling down the hill as well.

Dallin loved going down by himself. He kind of looked like he was swimming when he was trying to make himself go faster.

Mom, Dallin, and Alyssa sledding.



Dallin has been great with Alyssa lately. If she starts to cry or even whine, he runs over to her to "help" her out. He even shares his blanket with her, which is pretty big because he LOVES that thing. He has been a great big brother and tells her numerous times a day how much he loves her.

I kept Alyssa's hands covered up quite a bit for the first month. I figured I needed to let her have her hands out so that she could actually learn to use them. She loves to play with them now.

She also finally found her thumb.

I think she was done with me taking pictures since she put her hand up :)

Stef - she is so adorable! Is it so crazy to go from being a mom of 1 to 2? I am excited to do it, but also feeling sorry that I won't have all that time to give to each one. But I definitely think that having a sibling to play with (eventually) will help!

Sledding looks like it was fun. Sorry I haven't commented in a while, I've read all of your posts as you've put them up the last little while though - so I am definitely still reading even though I haven't commented!

Hope you guys continue to do well!!! We need to skype or MSN chat or something again sometime!

Is it me? Alyssa already looks bigger than when I last saw her...and her eyes are open!!

I'm telling you, that little man should be a swimmer...he's got some talent I can tell! :) Miss ya.

So cute! I love that Dallin is loving being a big brother! He's going to be protective of her when she grows up. She is getting to chunky and cute .... i just love those cheeks!
