Although most of the snow was gone, Cormick was still excited to go outside today

Cormick saw Mikey in his basement so they waved back and forth for awhile

Our first big snowfall here in North Dakota so it was time to get the sled out

He was very happy with the snow and kept trying to pick it up and play with it

This was when the tide turned. He'd fallen down, his glove had fallen off and that was it . . . he wanted inside.

Why is Cormick holding his nose and looking surprised? Because he's just squirted a whole can of cherry smelling bath foam into the tub. Boy did it smell pukey.

The weather has been nice enough to take Cormick outside during the day. This is when he closed himself into the neighbor's backyard.

This is us on the airplane on our way to spend Christmas with relatives in Ohio and Indiana. He was so excited! Unfortunately, his feeling of excitement deteriorated as both he and I proceeded to get sick shortly afterwards.

This was Cormick and I when we reached Ohio. He'd already thrown up once and I was wishing I could. This was probably the best I looked the entire holiday. The problem was since Cormick was feeling sick too, he just wanted to cling to me (which was the last thing I wanted at the time) and he wouldn't let any of his relatives get near him. It was a constant game for the Uncles to try and get close to Cormick without him freaking out.

This was as close as Cormick would get to Grandpa (and Grandpa was sleeping at the time).

This was as close as Cormick would get to his cousins

This was as close as Steve could get and he had to sneak up behind Cormick to do it.

Andy got the closest of all but it was because he held out their dog, Mugsy, as enticement. In fact, as the next few pictures illustrate, the one relative Cormick couldn't get enough of was Mugsy

Despite the fact that Mugsy could take or leave Cormick, Cormick was content simply to be close to wherever Mugsy happened to be
