just checking in

Nothing to blog about. It's January, it's snowing, it's cold. I intend to add to this blog as soon as I have something semi-intelligent to write.

Sledding!

We finally got some snow here in our part of the world, so we took Quinn out to play in his new sled. I think he had fun, but the blank stare behind the scarf and hat didn't tell us much. I did hear him squeal a little bit one time, and I think it was a happy sound, but again, who knows.
I think he was unsure about the whole experience actually.
But it was fun, and if it wasn't going to be arctic temperatures the rest of the week, we could go again with the inches of fresh snow we got today. But that won't be happening so instead we'll stay inside where it's warm and watch the snow through the window and venture out again once the temps are back "up" in the 30's.

Another picture of Q in his high chair...

...here he is eating his "egg-free" waffle for breakfast, made in our new waffle iron. (Thanks Nancy!) In case you are wondering, I substituted 1/3 cup of applesauce for an egg and they turned out great. They actually tasted the same as a 'normal' waffle would. YUM. We'll definitely be having more waffles in the future.
By the way, do you like how he uses the waffle squares as finger holes?

Q's first corn on the cob experience

Who needs a fancy New Year's Eve party??

We opted to stay in for the big night, and this is what we did:
Quinn went to bed at 8-ish, and we made dinner (english muffin pizzas. nope, not kidding.) We ate our meal on the bird couch watching a stupid movie on Comedy Central; I fell asleep half way through it (the movie, not the pizza) and Joe woke me up at 11:51.
I brushed my teeth, went to bed, and turned on the tv in the bedroom at 11:58, where I watched the ball drop and ol' what's-his-face mumble his way through a countdown through his too-big, ill-fitting dentures....and I was asleep again by 12:03.
See ya, 2008.
