Ansel's been crawling the past couple of weeks and is getting faster each day. He still seems to prefer being up on his feet and is also a pretty good cruiser, "walking" from one chair or piece of furniture to another. Of course this mobility comes with risks, as you can probably see the bruise under his eye in this crawling picture :( He's also been sick with a cold, surprisingly the first time he's been sick after his bout with the flu way back in the NICU days.
He's still right at 17 lbs, one month later... probably due to the constant activity this past month! The holidays were fun; we got to spend time with both sides of the family, and even spent some time visiting my sister Stacey and her family in Tulsa. Definitely a change from last year! This week has been crazy weather wise. With the ice storm, we were lucky and only lost power for 5-7 hours or so. Springfield got hit much harder, with cable lines and trees down all over the place! My parents place has been out of electricity for over 3 days now, and due to the massive power outage will possibly even be out the rest of the week. We drove over today to take some more stuff to them, (Mom has to stay for work) but we brought my Grandma back with us. They were pretty positive about the situation and luckily have a fireplace downstairs atleast, but it was COLD and I'll be very happy for them when they get their power back!!!
