Siri at Six Months

Happy half birthday, little girl!  Siri is two pounds heavier and once inch taller than Henry was at six months.  I predict that she will catch up with him by summer and everyone will mistake them for twins!

12/14/2010 - Six Months
20 lbs 15 ounces - 99th percentile
28 1/4 inches - 97th percentile

We Got Some Snow

The snow storm that hit us this weekend brought much of the Twin Cities to a complete stop.  We got about 17 inches of snow at our house and just stayed inside and watched and waited until it was over.  Sunday brought sunshine but bitter cold for the big dig-out.  Nathan spent two and a half hours outside this morning, first using the snow rake to get as much off the roof as possible to avoid ice dams.  Then, he attacked the alley and sidewalks with the snow blower and shovel.  Henry watched the action from the window until Daddy was finished and then went out to check it out.
Nathan clearing snow off the roof above the kids room with Henry watching.  The drift in this Northwest corner of the house reaches half-way up the window, so about 7 feet.

Thanksgiving at the Ness's

Henry teaches Grandma and Grandpa all about PlayDoh

Grandma Carol feeds Siri some cereal

Upon further inspection of Grandma's watch, Siri sees that it is, in fact, bedtime.
Oh, those thighs!

Henry and Siri were both good travelers on the long car ride :)
