Ryker's First Snow Experience

Yesterday Ryker experienced snow for the first time. He was born in March but most snow had melted and there was no way a 5 lb newborn was going to interact with snow.

He saw it first thing out the window and looked at us strangely. We opened the back door and scooped up some to make a snowball for him. He was still too sleepy to fully play with the snow. He did eat some of it though as I rubbed it onto his lips.

Later that morning we all dressed up warmly and went our into the 2 inches of freshly fallen snow. Daddy held him and picked up snow. Ryker put his hand right into the snow and realized how cold it was. He never did like having really cold hands or items on him so the snow was not welcomed. As seconds passed and Daddy confirmed it was "okay", Ryker decided snow was okay.

We took some pictures, made a small snowman, and went back inside after 5 minutes. It was only 29 degrees out and too cold for 8 month old Ryker.
