We're moving in two weeks, so I wasn't sure about putting up a tree, but a friend of ours dropped off a tiny artificial one and you loved helping us decorate it. No matter how crazy life gets, you have to put up a Christmas tree.

356/365.

Sunday, December 22nd.

I'm not sure I would have ever pegged you as a snow-loving kid, but you are.

As long as there's snow, you won't mutter a single complaint about cold noses or fingers or toes.

You would play in it for hours if I could stand being outside in it that long.

357/365.

Monday, December 23rd.

You love the days Papa doesn't have to go to work.

Your mood brightens with him around.

358/365.

Happy Christmas Eve, love. You fell in love with a cozy coupe car a few months ago and

I had plans to buy you one for Christmas until we found out we'd be moving to Brooklyn.

I knew there would be no room for a real one in our apartment, so I got you a cozy coupe car ornament.

49/52.

338/365.

You're the only kid I've ever met who loves to burs their teeth.

Sticking your tongue out at the end is your favorite part.

Thursday, December 5th.

We woke up to a good snow this morning and you had your first taste of snow cream before breakfast.

340/365.

Friday, December 6th.

The snow stuck around.

341/365.

Saturday, December 7th.

More snowy weather called for your first hot chocolate. 

342/365.

Sunday, December 8th.

Papa has been working on a few projects around the house, so we can put it on the market at the end of the month.

We catch you climbing the ladder every time we turn around, no matter how many times we tell you to stay off of it.

343/365.

Monday, December 9th.

Our living room is still under construction. You like to scream in it and laugh at your echo.

344/365.

Tuesday, December 10th.

You're always trying to get outside. I caught you standing on your chair to reach the door knob this morning.

47/52.

324/365.

Tuesday, November 20th.

I asked you to hold still so I could take a picture of you with your turkey we made together.

That was not okay.

325/365.

Wednesday, November 21st.

You were a much bigger fan of the turkey once we hung him in the window.

326/365.

Thursday, November 22nd.

Beans and bowls and spoons kept you entertained while I made dinner.

Winter came today.

329/365.

Monday, November 25th.

I feel like half of the pictures in this project are of you in your highchair.

We spend the majority of our time as a family in the kitchen.

I hope you grow up knowing how important good food is because of this.

330/365.

Tuesday, November 26th.

You have this affinity for mittens lately, which you affectionately call 'mitt-mitts.'

46/52.

317/365.

Tuesday, November 13th.

We saw a sign that said, 'free turnip greens - help yourself,' so we did.

I never thought we would find such beauty in this ordinary little neighborhood of ours.

312/365.

You're a champion traveler. I hope we get to see the world together.

314/365.

Saturday, November 10th.

Wherever we are, whatever you're wearing, you have to explore completely.

Sometimes we call you 'Donny' (from the Wild Thornberrys) -

you seem to grow into that name more and more as you get older.

You're always barefoot, perpetually on the move, with messy hair, a dirty face, and a big grin.

315/365.

Sunday, November 11th.

When we visit with Gramma, Cracker Barrel for breakfast has become our tradition.
