Insert clever title here

We took Teresa sledding for the first time this week. And by we, I of course mean Marcus, and by sledding I mean she went down the hill next door to us twice. She L.O.V.E.D. it the first time down. Marc rode behind her, and she just had the biggest smile on her face. She looked so totally thrilled with it. I got it on video, but it turned out really blurry and lame, so that was kind of a bummer. Unfortunately, on the way back up the hill she fell in a big pile of snow and got her face and hands all wet and stingy like snow will do. So the second time down she wasn't so pleased, and we just went home after that. She did have fun getting pulled around the house in her sled the next day. We did not have that much fun getting ordered to pull her around all day ;).

Here's a pic of her before the sledding:



She's gotten soooo much better at letting me bundle her up to go out in the cold. Today she even went and got her coat for me when we were leaving. And she wore a hat! Now if we could get her in some mittens.

This outfit made me laugh. Teresa loves Mickey Mouse soooo much. She loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and any time she comes across the remote she will bring it to us with requests for "Ma" (Which is also what she calls milk, and a couple other things. We have to work off context clues a lot). She gets so excited to watch him, and to point him out on her diapers and stuff. We've been wanting to get her some Mickey stuff for awhile, but of course everything Mickey is for boys, so we finally just got her a Mickey shirt from the boy section at Wal-Mart. She flipped out when she saw it, she was so excited. She brought it to me to put on her Wednesday, but she also wanted to keep her pajamas on, so this is how she ended up:



She was also watching Mickey when this was taken, which is why she's not looking at the camera.
This was the morning after what was supposed to be our HUUUUUUGE snowstorm. We ended up only getting about 2 inches, so that was kind of a bummer. T went out to check out the snow when Marc was leaving for work:



She definitely regretted picking some of it up...



Next up - blocks! We got T these blocks for half price at Target's awesome after Christmas sale, and she totally loves them. I love them too, because they keep her busy for so long :). She's getting pretty good at building with them, she especially loves making big tall towers. We're also using the blocks to work on her colors. So far she thinks they're all "boo".

Aaaand, I guess that's it for now. Marc just started another class, he's excited to learn even more computer stuff. It ends February 11th, so he's hoping the baby doesn't come before then. I'm hoping she comes tonight. Seriously, I feel like I've reached the end of my pregnancy rope waaaay sooner this time around. I didn't feel like this until T's actual due date last time, and here we are still 4(ish) weeks out on this baby! We had to go to labor and delivery two Sunday's ago because of a high blood pressure false alarm. That turned out to be a good thing, because it showed us how totally unprepared we were to have a baby. The cell phone was dead and we couldn't find the charger, we totally didn't know how to get to the hospital, and we had no bags packed for us or for T if she had to go anywhere. Also, the gas tank was on empty. So that was a good practice run, and it was nice to get a little preview of the hospital. It reminded us both a lot of where Teresa was born, and we liked that. Now we're just playing the waiting game and thinking happy, 8 pound baby thoughts ;).
