Dan and I decided it was time to make another baby...

A SNOW BABY that is! Since it is Aidie's first winter, Dan was dying to make a snowman with Aidie. Unfortunately, by the time we got around to it, there was only enough snow for a little bitty one. So we made a snow baby instead :-) Enjoy the process, as well as a surprise goodie at the end!

Holding the beginning of the snowbaby- Aidie's first snowball!

All of the snowbaby participants squeezing into the photo.

Even the doggies came out for a romp in the snow.

Daddy- adding on the second snowball

Here we are with our finished snowbaby! It's even about Aidie's size!

Our little family with our babies. LOL.

Love this picture of me and Aidie :-)

As for other updates: Aidie had her first day at daycare yesterday. It was... rough... Apparently about five minutes after I left she cried and cried. She refused to let anyone hold her and only wanted to sit in her crib with her moose (thank goodness we packed him). I really don't know what to do. I'm sure it will get better and it was a substitute in for her regular teacher that day, since her teacher was sick. I just keep thinking that we'll just be doing this all over again tomorrow with a new person. I think the substitute was a little scared of her... or me... I can't tell, but she seemed so timid and didn't once try to hold her while I was there. So I'm sure Aidie will feel much better on Thursday with her real teacher.
Aidie is now walking, albeit a bit unsteadily, only holding onto one of our hands. She prefers two, but can do one. So I forsee independent walking in the near future. Boy will we be in trouble then!
A sweet note: Aidie has a habit of crying in her sleep that just breaks my heart. When I put her down for a nap today, she giggled in her sleep- like she was having a good dream. Totally made my day! Speaking of bedtime- Dan came in last night to kiss her goodnight before I put her down and as he walked out the door she waved at him and said "bye bye". No prompting! Association!
I took Aidie for her first Psychology experiments the other day and she did very well. The Psych building is always looking for child volunteers. So we thought we would participate! She did one where she reached for a hidden toy in a box after it had been place in different parts several times. She did fine with this and reacted well for her age. We watched a power point after this, where she was supposed to look at shapes and cartoons to see how she focused. They were extremely pleased with this part, saying that she payed attention so well. Much better than expected! She apparently has a good attention span. That's good news!
And now for the surprise at the end of the update- Bathtime was hysterical, and I just had to share! Our very own little "Whovilian"! Who, for a verbal update, said "bathtub" during this exciting affair. TWO SYLLABLES!
