When Lorre headed for the airport on Wednesday, she made the comment that she would have to go because she couldn't conjure up another snow storm. Well, she was wrong and about a day behind. Yesterday, I woke up to about 2-3 inches of solid powder on the ground. Unfortunately, Ben and I had to go to the base, so we bundled up and went. The roads in Ely were the worst ones and the trip wasn't too bad. However, it is snowing again today. It's slushy in a lot of parts. I am really glad I have nowhere to go other than my living room. It is definitely a hot cocoa day.
In other news, Benjamin hit the 6-month mark this week. I weighed him on our scale and he's about 18.5 pounds. Lorre bought him a cute cupcake at the store and we all sang "Happy Birthday." I gave him a little piece and he made an awful face. Lorre and I also took a piece and concluded that Ben was right. It tasted like cornbread with icing. Ewww...
Ben also has a little cold. They say that the anti-bodies from the mother's breast milk wear off after about 6 months and I guess they are right. He has the snotty bug I had last week. He doesn't seem to be too bothered by it, but I feel so bad for him. He's congested and has a cough. I have tried to use the bulb syringe several times and have concluded that it is worthless. It just makes him cry and he won't sit still to let me use it. Hopefully, it will clear up soon.
