First Tracks with the Marshmallow Baby

It was too cold over the weekend to play outside as we had planned, but today, after an overnight dusting of fluffy powder, Evvie & Dad set out on a ski adventure at Reid State Park. Evvie acquiesced to being crammed into her puffy suit that constricts her movement and makes her the "Marshmallow Baby". Once in the pack and underway, she promptly fell asleep for the entire hour.

We made "first tracks" in the snow and I was grateful to have the moment. It's been a long time since I had excercised after having been ill for over a month, and today was a great reward.

The skiing was great, and the ocean was magnificent. Evvie had a rosy hue to her for the next hour or so from the fresh air and the cold, but moms, don't worry- her hands and feet were warm when she emerged from the pack. The baby long underwear plus a hat, boots and mittens inside the fold-down cuffs of the down suit kept her snug.
