Margo is 15 months old today! She is such a happy, active and verbal little girl. We are having a great time. I was trying to write down all the words she can say on a semi-regular basis and I got to 30 before I stopped! I keep thinking of more too. She really blows us away with her ability and willingness to communicate with us.
The snow fell here in Tacoma and actually stuck around all day, which is unheard of around here. We've had a great time playing in the snow for the last two days. We even tried out our new snowshoes before our big snowshoe mountain adventure this Saturday. Jon's pull-sled contraption worked well. Solomon enjoyed riding in it but Margo preferred my back in the Ergo. We managed to keep her fairly warm this time with layers of multiple fleece. A fleece union suit I got on ebay with special MTS insulation... don't know what it is but I know I wasn't going to pay $30 for it, so I found one in her size for $8 on ebay, used but good. Also a onsie under that, tights, wool socks, more fleece over the other fleece, pants and vest and waterproof pants and jacket over that, along with hat and mittens. Oh, only rain boots though so her feet got cold. Going to borrow some snow boots for Saturday, so hopefully that will do the trick. I bought my self some new fleece layers. Fleece "tights" to wear under my waterproof pants and a fleece top, which I actually just wore that with a shirt underneath it and I was fine. I also splurged in some new Winter boots recently for snowshoeing in (I let Solomon picked out the color, they're hot pink!). My feet stayed mostly warm, perhaps Margo and I need some fleece socks as well?
We snowshoed it all almost all the way to Proctor, had to take them off when we got into the shopping district as all the sidewalks were cleared.
We are looking forward to another snow day tomorrow; school has already been cancelled.
