Baby’s First Winter Season
This was our first winter season with our baby, Eli! Eli was 8 months old for Christmas, so it is right around the time that he’s become a lot more mobile and having fun exploring. Christmas was especially fun this year. Each year we take a photo of the two of us with our dog, and it was so much fun (and a lot more difficult!) to add Eli into the photo this year.
Eli has spent so much time playing and crawling his way around the house, using his new mobility to his advantage! That didn’t quite fare as well when he experienced his first snow! Instead of crawling around in it… as soon as we sat him down, he face planted it right into the snow! That set the tone for the rest of our time outside… not a happy camper with his first experience with snow, but such a special time I still treasure. Even though he didn’t love it out there, it’ll be fun to see how his feelings and emotions about snow evolve in the coming years as he grows up. I loved the special moments in mom and dad’s arms where he seemed most content. I love that he feels safe with us, even when venturing out into the unknown and new things. I hope he always feels safe in our arms.
