Snowbaby Rock Star


We have been pretty house-bound lately with bad weather.  We haven't had near the bad weather as everyone west and north of us, but we have had three snows now, which is more than this area usually sees.  Today we got a half inch and had very high winds.  Saturday we got about 1-1/2 inches, just enough to look pretty.  The grand total from the "blizzard" weekend was 9 inches.  And it has been very cold and beach people are getting grouchy.  Callie has a new way to express her grouchiness.  She learned to make a new squalling sound that could peel paint and send all cats into hiding.  She demonstrates this new talent when she doesn't want to go to bed or when she can't get a toy to do what she wants.  She is still mostly crawling, but she does walk a few times a day when the mood strikes her, usually to chase a cat.  She also has a new eating habit worth mentioning.  She likes to suck the cream cheese off of cheerios and then spit them back out.  That will be the last time I try to make her cheerios more interesting and nutritious!  Even though we haven't gone many places, our days are still interesting because of my little stinker and her daily adventures.  Here are some pictures of Daddy and Callie in the snow and of my little girl looking like a rock star in her leopard fleece top, coral leggings and Pocahontas boots. 

 

  

  
 She didn't really want to taste it.
  
Demonstrating the fine art of catching snow flakes on his tongue.  Callie was very unamused.

  

  
 "Man, I have it rough!"

  
Her hair is getting long and shaggy, like most rockers.  I think we could record the squalling sounds, put it to music and either pass it off as Adam Lambart or make an album of Callie songs.  This could be the cover shot.

I love how Callie's dressed for an Alaskan winter walk and Matt's dressed for a chilly football game in the fall. :) Cute post!

Micah doing that "paint-peeling" scream, too. Oh wait! You know that already since you got a recent unfortunate brunt of my grouchiness [sorry]. Very cute pics. Callie is so adorable!
