The weather has brought a lot of excitement to our house this past week. It started out with warm and balmy summer like weather with record highs in the 70’s and then by late week it was freezing drizzle and snowy. Josh was absolutely thrilled to see the snow and we had enough accumulation on the deck for him to shovel and snowblow (with his popper mower) to his hearts content. Audrey had all the intentions of going outside in the snow, but was quick to come inside after licking a few snowflakes with Josh. She is very cautious of any weather changes lately, especially if we are going somewhere in the car. As soon as we get in the car, she starts up her weather tune “It’s sunny/rainy/cloudy outside” and sings in until we reach our destination. Either it’s a soothing mechanism or has found her pretty voice and loves to hear herself sing away.  It’s the cutest thing and it makes us all smile and giggle a little. The other day, she was singing “It’s cloudy outside” and Josh pipes in “No, Audrey, it’s sunny” as a little sun was peeping through the clouds. They are kind of in a stage right now where if one thinks it’s black, the other thinks it white. These simple little situations can stir up the craziest arguments. Meanwhile, Lucas just sits by and takes it all in. I can only imagine what he’s thinking. Lucas’s major milestone this week was transitioning to the crib and taking to a pacifier. We were amazed with this, because neither Josh nor Audrey slept in the crib until about 3 months and neither took a pacifier.
