My Little Gingerbread Man

The day after Thanksgiving.

Okay, it's been pretty cold here. In the 20's and below! Freezing and snowing. Getting down into the teen temperatures at night. I can say that I am used to the cold now though. Curt and I can pretty much withstand this kind of weather in just t-shirts and hoodies. :) That is of course just going to and fro the car when going out and running errands. What can I say, living in Idaho was a HUGE adjustment when I was at college, because then I learned my nose hairs could freeze when I simply walked out the door. :) We've lived in Colorado now for over 2 1/2 years and after last year's blizzards, we have really gotten used to how cold the CO can get.

Today I think the high was like 25 degrees. :) Living in this kind of climate and with winter weather conditions you really learn how to dress your baby appropriately on a day to day basis. Last Monday the high was 76 and then on Wednesday the high was 28. :) We can have highs of 72 and low's of 28 in one day. The weather fluctuates so much in just one day or just within a couple days. The snow we have gotten this week has stuck to the ground because of freezing temps. Today, we woke up at 7am to do some holiday shopping. There was really only one item I needed to be up that early to go shopping for. It was a gift for Curt at SuperTarget and I'm so glad I got up early to get it for him! There wasn't a bad crowd at all when we showed up at 8am.

Then we went to Old Navy. We keep our home well heated at nights, but with freezing temperatures we put Cache to sleep in a long sleeve onesie or long sleeve shirt/pant pjs, with a fleece footie pajamas on top. So I needed to get more pajama sets for him to wear underneath his fleece pj's. Curt showed me this adorable brown bundler for only $15!!!! Cache definitely needed it! He looks so cute in it! It is SO SOFT and keeps him nice and warm! Cache is so cuddly so I definitely LOVE him bundled up in this outfit! Cache just looks like my little gingerbread man! Cache was such a trooper today. We didn't do much shopping at all, we just wanted to be out and about with the hustle and bustle of the crowd! Cache didn't get his scheduled naps today and he didn't fuss much or cry about it! He's a pretty flexible kid when he needs to be! After a long day out and about, Cache was definitely ready for bedtime! Here is few pictures of Cache just getting out of his carseat and waking up.

This is Cache when he just woke up and I got him out of his carseat. Not really an appropriate time for a few pictures, but I couldn't resist my sweet baby in his "gingerbread man" outfit!

My tired little baby. :(
Even when he's exhausted he will still blush and smile. He got really excited after this because he realized we were going to get him ready for bed! Then he started squealing with excitement! This kid is waaaaaaaaaay too good!
