Our little walker and the snow...

Brendan has discovered walking. After nearly 14 months without much interest in getting around on his own, he seems to be making up for lost time!
He took his first steps over the Christmas holidays, and then managed 5 steps across the kitchen in mid-January. When he and Kevin returned from their whirlwind journey to Canada, he returned a little walker. To show off his new-found skills to me when they arrived from the airport, Brendan got up in the midst of a nappy change with Daddy, and walked right into our bedroom! All I saw was this nudy little boy walking into our room, and right up to me. It was the cutest thing I've EVER seen!!

He loves walking. He toddles around with a HUGE grin on his face, so so proud of himself. And he's really great at it too - very few wobbles and he's very steady on his feet.

One of our favourite things to do together is go for a walk at the Botanic Gardens or to our local park. He loves walking between Kevin & I, being swung up into the air. Such fun!

Last week, the UK was blanketed in snow... We were so excited to wake up to a winter wonderland! I spent hours taking photos (soon to be posted on Flikr) - Cambridge is amazingly beatiful in the snow. We took a family "snow day" - We built a snowman in Midummer Common, followed by yummy hot chocolate with marshmallows.
Now that the novelty has worn off, the slush and ice are a little less magical. That said, all this cold, winter weather certainly reminds of us of home.
