Nordic baby!

Milo lived up to his Wisconsin heritage yesterday, taking to his first cross-country ski expedition like a fish to water. We bundled him up in lots of layers, although it was a relatively warm and sunny day. Here he is, ready for the workout. He even has his own Gatorade!

Milo rode happily on Daddy's back in the Beco carrier, gazing about happily for the first 20 minutes or so, then sleeping contentedly for another hour.

When he woke again, just before we returned to the lodge, he was STILL content. What's not to like, when you get to go fast like this:

Needless to say, Mommy and Daddy were proud and thrilled, and we can't wait to take him again. Milo discovered the joy of XC skiing just in time for Grandma Eileen and Grandpa Peter to come visit - hooray!
