Eli and Dan got out for a short hike a couple of days before the blizzard hit. For the first time, Eli was able to walk around the woods on his own.

Out for a walk (before the heavy snow hit)

Learning to eat snow and to slide (4 to 5 inches)

Taking in the unbelievable amount of snow (2 ft? We’re not sure of final counts, but Dan can attest to what a pain it was to shovel)

Removing layers of snow clothing is much easier if you play ball

Dan getting much deserved cuddles after shoveling

Eli eating and working on using a spoon

Eli’s favorite recent accomplishment is learning how to climb down stairs
