More Snow!

As a lot of people were sitting in front of their fire places watching the Oscars last night, we were at home without electricity watching the temperature steadily drop throughout the night. Another storm rolled through and dumped approximately 16 inches of ice and snow on us. After waking in a frigid house and clearing the driveway we had a pile of snow next to it nearly 6 feet tall! We tried to get a picture with Tatum to put it in perspective, but it didn't come out as good as we had hoped. Lindsey and I can now say that we are officially sick of the Maine winter.

Tatum's New Skill

Tatum has graduated from her "kiddy chair" and has learned how to climb onto the couch unassisted. While she is certainly proud of this achievement, it makes Mom and Dad very nervous! We've been trying to teach her how to safely climb down, but her attempts at that are sporadic at best. Enjoy the videos.

Rocking Moose in Birthday Suit

What would any toddler's blog be without the mandatory childhood picture of being nude on a rocking moose? This is also Tatum stalling at bedtime!

Portland Children's Museum

We decided to celebrate Valentine's day by going to the Children's Museum in Portland. Tatum had a blast there, although it is really more of a random collection of children activities than an actual museum. Tatum was particularly interested in the fake grocery store and fake veterinary office. After 90 minutes of chasing Tatum all over the museum and being nauseated by the collective dirty diaper smell, it was time for Mom and Tatum to get home for a nap.
