Sander is 8 Months Old!

This is when I want things to slow down! Only a few more months and Sander will already be one year old!!! He is such a sweet and sensitive little baby and we all love him to pieces. Those big blue eyes charm us each day, especially when accompanied by his hilarious giggle. His latest consistent sound he enjoys making is of the letter G. We think he is trying to say dog because he makes it most often around dogs. Sander still combat crawls VERY quickly all over the place. The little guy rarely stops moving and he is strong!

Ski Days

Rosy-cheeked and relaxed.

It's hard to fit in ski days when one has an infant and a 3.5 year old! Lucy is almost able to ski with us at this point but little man, he needs to be watched by someone if mom and dad want to go out and play. In the meantime Matt and I trade off skiing while Sander hangs in the lodge at Stowe with one of us. It's working well for us and he enjoys riding the Over Easy gondola once in a while.

First time "skiing" and luckily mama stayed upright even on the ice!

One afternoon we went out for a classic ski so he could actually ride with us. Mama was honored to carry Sander for the first time while on skis. He enjoyed it! We went on a short ski up the Notch Rd but due to ice and an under the weather Lucy we turned around earlier than planned. It still felt great to get out though!
