So we have all gone from the warm climate of Florida to the cold and snow of the Colorado mountains in just five days. We drove up Friday afternoon to our condo in Keystone for a long weekend here. Our good friends Francis and Melissa brought their daughter Anna (who is almost eight months old) along and we had my old mate the legendary skibum, Stephen Cassidy along as well.
It was a beautiful weekend in the mountains - it had snowed quite a bit during the week and we had warm sunny days while we were here. Steve and I went skiing both days for a few hours and the snow was awesome. Marcy entertained Jude by playing hide and seek at Border's books and taking him out in the jogging stroller to River Run where he got to walk around.
Jude added a few new words this week. After months of coaching he finally says "Mommy" now, although it comes out more like "Mmmmy." He now says "diaper," and "tractor," dropping the first sound of both words. He is understanding more as well. Tonight I was reading to him before bed and I asked him to point to several objects. He pointed correctly to a hat, tractor, balloon, ball, cupcake, grapes and his toes.
We drive home on Tuesday morning and we have eight days at home before we leave on our next trip to San Diego and Mexico.
