Yesterday we got hit with 20 inches of snow, so Peter was a little confused to see his dad around the house all day when it wasn’t a weekend. We had hoped we could take him outside to see the mountains of snow up close, but the snow kept falling all day and the winds got pretty strong during the afternoon. So he got stuck inside with us instead. Despite not going out he seemed to have a good time, though.
One of the things being forced to stay home all day did was to allow me to putz with our video camera and transfer the snippets we’ve shot over the past nine months off the camera and onto my computer. Whether that means you’ll see video of Peter here any time soon remains to be seen, as my technological abilities haven’t reached that point. But seeing footage of when Peter was only a couple months old is weird because he looks really different now, yet for me and his mom it feels like he’s always been the same. But really, when he was still considered a newborn he did look totally different from how he looks today. He was born with black hair, but now his hair is a shade of brown that seems to get lighter by the week. The shape of his face changes quite regularly, rounder one day, longer the next. Then there are his eyebrows, which were almost invisible when he was born (but they were there) and now he’s got nice brown brows that he manipulates quite well. And his face has lost a good deal of the “flatness” since he emerged from his mama’s belly (not that he had that much of a smooshed face, but his nose is coming out more).
More facial changes are on the way now that his top teeth are coming in. So far he has the 4 front teeth all breaking through (slowly) at the same time. I don’t know if that is the reason, but lately Peter will jut out his lower jaw and kind of clamp on his upper lip with the 2 lower teeth. He’s definitely going to look comparatively strange with a full set of teeth. I’ll miss that gummy smile…
