Snow, Standing, Laughter, and Wagons.....

The Mountain reported another 8 inches of snow this morning, which brings this season's total to 23 FEET! It's been a white winter.  I think Gulliver's first word may be "snow" since every morning we look out his window and I say, "Look, Gulliver... Snow!"

Gulliver is spending more and more time on his two feet. This morning while we were playing with the "ears" of the rocking horse (he is obsessed with the handle that slides in and out of the horse's head), he was so engrossed that he didn't even realize he was standing by himself. He stood for almost 5 minutes, occasionally touching the horse lightly. But mostly, he stood on his own. That's the longest I've seen him stand yet.

Last night, he just kept laughing and laughing.  At nothing. He just wanted to chuckle. So of course, Mark and I chuckled right along with him. It's good that he can crack himself up.

And he just loves to play with his wagon. He'll put the blocks in and then take them out. He'll climb in, get situated, and then just smile. Sometimes he wants to be pushed around the house; and sometimes he's content just to sit in his wagon. He'll push it all around, navigating around or plowing through any obstacles. The girls are not very fond of his wagon. They clear out of they way if they see him coming. But Gulliver sure has fun with that wagon.
