Icicles in Florida?!

At the start of 2010, the weather was quite chilly here. It's amazing how quickly I forgot what it was like to be cold!

Michael started 2010 with RSV, which turned into an ear infection, so we spent most nap-times and some night-times like this, and I ate up every minute of it...

After a few days of being holed up in the house with a sickly toddler, we bundled up and spent a few minutes outside practicing t-ball...
I love his full profile...especially the belly!
You can tell here he just doesn't feel quite like our normal Michael...

He was starting to feel better here. This was one night when I got home from work. It was still cold...I really didn't think I was going to use my scarf here in Florida when I brought it back after Thanksgiving in Nashville!

The lovely scratch on Michael's cheek is from the corner of the coffee table - ouch!

One night before bed, I combed Michael's hair straight back and it CRACKED me UP!

Look at those sweet curls! To die for, right? If only we could get it to stay like this!

This was taken maybe two minutes after the above photo...crazy curls!

Do you see the icicles?! I know some of my readers in much colder climates will make fun of our Florida icicles...but they were real! Very rarely do you see icicles on palm trees!

This is a recent stance Michael does. Sometimes he does this when he is having a fit, and other times he just does it randomly while he's playing. This one was just a random one.

This photo is to show you how he looked before he face planted on the tile...

Post-face plant - ouch! He bled and screamed but was back to normal, for the most part, the next day...

It was REALLY cold (for Florida) on Sunday, so we got to break out Michael's winter hat for church! Doesn't he look so different when you can't see his wild hair?

Do you see some of those wild curls sneaking out of the bottom?

These pictures were all within the two week span that the highs were in the mid to high 40s and the lows were in the high 20s. We're back to how it should be now - the high was 81 today. Life is good!
