If I didn't know better, I would think this girl was taking steroids. She is freakishly strong and amazes us everyday with how physical she is. Even so, I was astounded today when I saw that she was climbing up her baby gate. Her friends Emily and Rebecca hung out with us today and they were with her in the living room while I was on the other side of the gate. She spends a lot of time at the gate waiting for someone to come back to entertain her. And today she stuck her feet in the little holes and up she went!
This pic was taken this evening; earlier in the day when she first did it, she was a lot higher. Then her feet were both up above the middle section where the latch is. But I didn't have the camera handy then. I don't know what we are going to do when she is able to climb over that thing! At not even ten months, I thought we had a while before we had to think about that!
After three full days of not getting to leave the house because of all the snow, Lena and I finally went out shopping for a little bit today. Here are some pics of what we got Friday through yesterday.
This is the view of our deck from the back garage door. You can't see the floor in this shot, but the snow comes up over my knee when I stand next to it.
Our deck.
Can I interest anyone in a barbecued snowball?
The reindeer were back in Middleville tonight and we braved the cold just long enough to get a pic of Lena with one. She wasn't too sure about him, but didn't cry.

Our little snow bunny. She is always such a good sport putting up with Mama and her "photo ops." :)
So they said on the news tonight that we have gotten 44 inches of snow this month so far; 54 inches for the season. We are supposed to get another maybe 6 inches tomorrow into Wednesday. Where the heck are we going to put it?
