January 30, 2011 - Snowshoeing/Sledding, Funny Faces, Awake More

Since we have about 3ft of snow on the ground, we decided to get out and try to enjoy the weather and get some exercise. We decided to go down to the beach to try some snowshoeing. The walkway to the beach wasn't shoveled, so we had to walk over the mounds of snow with our snowshoes, baby sled, backpack and a baby. When we finally got to the beach and got our snowshoes on (about 30 minutes after finally getting to the beach) and Bryanna in the sled, we started our journey. Scott fell 2 times, tripping on his snowshoes and as we started walking, Bryanna almost tipped over from falling into Scott's deep tracks. The snowshoes didn't float on the snow like we thought they were going to...they sunk in about a foot. Next we tried to pull Bryanna in between us, with both of us holding the rope. That started to work and we thought we were finally going to get going. We turned around to see how Bryanna was doing and saw that we were flinging snow in her face from the snowshoes...well, that isn't going to work! We only made it like 15ft from where we started so we turned around and went home. Bryanna was such a trooper though. You could see on her face that she wasn't having fun, especially with the snow being blown in her face! I picked her up and she made that pouty face that makes me so sad to see and a little tear trickled down her face....awe!

Bryanna has been awake a lot more lately. Previously, she would be awake for 2hrs. and then want to go down for a nap but we have noticed the last 2 days that it is around 3hrs. She is still taking 3 naps but is awake longer in between.

She's floating on top of the snow right now, Scott had 
to push her in a little so that she could sit up
