Sweet, sweet love... (part 2)

Here are the last few pictures from our Easter trip to visit Craig & Jen...

Afternoon walk around Wascana Lake...

The beautiful parliament building...

As I mentioned, Callie refused to have her morning naps while we were visiting. The only way she FINALLY agreed to a nap, was on our last day in Regina, when Craig lay on the floor beside her and sang her songs 'til she fell asleep. These are my favorite pictures from the trip. She LOVED her Uncle Craig...

Killing time in the Calgary airport...

Back in BC...

Another fantastic flight, brought to you by WestJet... :)

Sweet, sweet love... (part 1)

Our time in Regina was FAR too short, but we savoured it while it lasted and enjoyed every single minute we had there. And now... we are missing Craig & Jen immensely!! Especially Callie. It was a true love affair while we were visiting C & J. She was virtually obsessed with her Auntie and Uncle. Callie is usually a perfect sleeper, but this was not the case while we were there. In fact, she pretty much boycotted sleep altogether. She just couldn't miss a second with them. And to tell you the truth.... the warmth that brought to my heart cannot be put into words. It was such a wonderful blessing...

These flights were definitely more interesting than the ones we did when she was 5 months old. She was a lot more curious about her surroundings this time around :)

Playing with Uncle Craig at 'East Side Mario's'...

Getting some lovin' from Auntie Jen...

A common sight while we were visiting... sheer delight!

Out for a morning stroll...

One of the only morning naps she had while we were in Regina...

Trying some cheerios...

Easter Sunday photo shoot...



I have MANY more pictures to post, but haven't had a chance to upload them onto our computer yet. I'll have "part 2" up in the next few days... I hope :) Sorry this has taken so long Jen! I know you've been waiting patiently for these pictures. I'm workin' on it!!

9 months...

I haven't been doing a very good job of posting monthly updates on Callie, so I figured her 3/4 birthday should probably be recorded (even though it was a couple of weeks ago already). Here are some pictures and 'tidbits' about our sweet girl at the 9 month mark:

- weighed in at 20 lbs. 14 oz.

- 30" in height

- FINALLY cut her first tooth, the day after her 9 mth. birthday

- has started crawling backwards a bit but hasn't quite figured out how to move forward. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth, but still no forward action yet

- stands quite well if she's holding onto something

- loves to look at books and have Daddy read to her before bed

- has become extremely independent with eating and often insists on feeding herself

- LOVES puffed wheat and Baby MumMum's

- sleeps 7:00pm- 7:00am (and has been doing so for the last few months... this is my personal favorite!)

- continues to ADORE other children & screams in delight when she sees them

- is fairly obsessed with her baby cousin, Elijah

- still naps twice a day (1 morning & 1 afternoon nap) but is getting close to cutting out her morning nap

- babbles constantly (dada, mama, nana, yaya, etc.)

- loves music & cartoons & playing like a "big girl" ;)

- is a total goof and will do anything to make you laugh... especially by making faces like this:

... and continues to be the intense joy in our days & the light of our lives!

We're back!

We got back late Tuesday night and the rest of the week has been a hectic, crazy mess. But I promise to get some pictures up from our wonderful Regina trip... soon!
