Valentine's Day, 2004 - SNOW

Age 2 years, 5 months

I'm not too sure about this stuff...
Are you sure it'll support my weight?
Oooo! Snowball!
Hey dad! Let's make a snowman!
I can help with the snowman!
He's as tall as I am!
I'm still not sure about walking on this stuff.
Are you looking at me? Huh? I don't see anyone else here.
Walking in the snow
I'm gonna bean Dad with this.
Hey Mom! The snowman needs ears!
Snow ear #1 added.
Snow ear #2 added.
Now it looks like a snow mouse
Adding more snow
More walking in the snow
Grabbing another snowball
More walking in the snow
More walking in the snow

Stop it!
