TOES!!

As you can see, we have found our toes. And we LOVE it. All of Lola's socks are wet on the end as she keeps sticking them in her mouth. My little yoga girl!

Happy

I went home recently to pack up some of my memories from my parents house, inorder to give them back some much deserved space. This was my favorite doll when I grew up and I thought I'd pass it on to Lola for some quality cuddle time.

MMMMmmmmmm ?

We thought it would be a good idea to try cereal. Lola always watches in facination as we eat. As you can see from our photo, she's not too sure about eating herself yet. All in good time.....

Ladybug friend

We bought this for Lola a couple of weeks ago and now she is finally big enough....



I think I like it Mom and Dad



I KNOW I like it!

Standing

Lola does everything "her" way. She has decided that she really does not want to sit(or learn to do it on her own). She would rather stand. So, like the great Dad that he is, Wil discovered that Lola can do this now...




Again, constant monitoring with this trick or else the result is a SERIOUS face plant.

The abyss

Blogs are funny little creatures. They scurry around peoples desktops. Sometimes they are full size items on peoples home computers, other times they are furtively read at work. I have been told that they can be really sanity savers.
But really,

I have no idea.

I just keep writing into the abyss.

Sometimes, I get comments from my most loyal comentator( you know who you are) and often people will mention a photo when we speak. But are people enjoying my writing? Do they think my humour is wierd. Do they think I'm wierd(wait- don't answer that..) Do they think "that child is spoiled silly with all those photos being taken" I really have no idea.

Please leave me a comment....

Fashion-ista

We are moving(read-growing) into our new wardrobe. I am packing away onsies and sleepers at an alarming rate. This is an outfit from Grandmaman which Lola has now grown into. We like to think of it as the evolution of the pink Ewok.

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling

Move over Oscar! Our first "short" is hitting the small screen.

Best bedhead EVER

Our newest tricks! Boy, are we happy about it!

It's been a big learning week for Lola. She has started to roll. Yeah! I'm so happy for her. However, I can no longer leave her unattended( while I hit the bathroom in record time) and know that she can't actually "get" anywhere. She did her first roll on Wednesday when we were practicing. Yesterday, she did it all on her own. The look on her face was pretty funny as she was definately trying to figure out how she got there. This has also been accompanied by toe grabbing. For some reason, her FAVORITE time to do this is when I am trying to change her poopy bum. Go figure.

Weather is terrible today here in the GTA. After a 2 hour and near ditch experience on last nights commute, Wil opted to stay home( and safe). A good thing as when he called the office, he was told the power was out. I will be missing my first " walk and rhyme" at the PTC( Pickering Town Centre) as I am not leaving the house with the stroller in freezing rain. This new activity at the PTC will hopefully help us meet some new people. I had joined a baby group run by the Durham Health Department and have met some great Moms who are fun, interesting people to hang out with. While our official group is now over we have decided to continue meeting as it has been alot of fun and a sanity saver. Being new to the area, meeting new people has been great for Lola and myself. Having our new neighbours has also been utterly fantastic. Raq drops by regulary for tea and talks. I forsee a regular Wednesday night meeting for our guiltly pleasure tv show that just started. You'll have to figure out what it is for yourself.....

TEST DRIVE!

She still looks pretty wee but ........Lola's got a new chair! While we haven't worked up to trying food yet, this is a nice(read safe) place for her to sit while we eat. She does have a facination with watching me eat so I don't think we are too far off........

and she looks happy to be part of the action!
