We got our second snowfall of the week (and season). Both disappeared pretty quickly. The snow was crunchy underfoot, but we had just bought the sled for Eddie and by golly we were going to use it. Ed loved it! We have another sled in case we want to take him to the local hill on the next snowfall--maybe we'll do some warmups in the yard first.
He was grinning and giggling as we made a loop around the yard, his arms waving up and down in excitement. I'm not sure if we were outside for a total of 5 minutes as it was getting windy and time for a nap for Eddie but we sure maximized our time.
In other news, he has appeared to figure out how to sit back down from a standing position--at least in his crib. Other places, its more of a semi-controlled fall, but he is unfazed--most of the time.
I think he made his first 'sign', as in sign language. I was changing him and he was looking right at me, and his hand made the sign for milk. It seemed very clear to me. When I repeated it back, it seemed to be what he wanted and when we went downstairs to get milk, he was pretty darn excited to have it. We'll see.

In his snowsuit, Eddie reminds me of Maggie on the Simpsons... when they take her out in her snowsuit, she looks like a starfish with a face on one of the arms.
He sure looks like he's having the time of his life!
I love the pictures from the snow day and in his crib. The more you sign and talk to him the bigger his vocabulary he will have. I have a friend that is signing with her daughter and she started to use signs around 9 months. It's fun to see and read about his adventures.
Now that you mention it Meg, he does look starfish-like. Today he was mesmerized by the snow, kept putting his hands in it.
And even Dennis tries signs, especially 'daddy' :) He's also learning Spanish from the nanny.
