Swinging

I love my reflection in the papasan. It calms me down when I don't want to go to sleep.



When I'm content, I suck my knuckles. Now, if I could eat my entire hand, I'd be very happy.

Traveller

There was a traveller on our car ride down to Portland. Mommy saw this green little guy crawling on the car in our garage. We saw it while waiting at the border. And then, we saw it again when we arrived at Uncle T's house! It stayed with us for 550km, at 100mph, in the driving rain down to Portland!

Voodoo Donuts

Portland has this Voodoo Donut shop. Small, grungy place near the bars, with plastic rats and crows in their display cases. Open 24 hours. We went for a visit.



It was AWESOME! Daddy had a Coco Puff topped donut, Mommy had an peanut butter drizzled Oreo cookie donut and YehYeh and MaMa had a mango jelly-filled, Tang powder-covered donut. There was the Texas donut too... it looked the size of a pizza!




But, the most shiver inducing one.... the bacon donut! A maple glazed longjohn topped with freshly fried bacon.




You know Daddy had to try one.


Verdict? Daddy thinks Tim Horton's or Duffin's should create one for the menu. Everyone thought it was yummy.... good bye breakfast bars!

Made it to Portland

Left Vancouver at 11:30am, arrived in Portland at 9pm. I did pretty well... we had lots of pit stops. I didn't cry at all in the car. Love that thing.... go pony, go!

We met up with Uncle T and Auntie J for sushi. It's way past my bedtime, but as I always tell my parents, sleep is overrated!

July 20, 2007 - Road trip to Portland!

I'm ready for my first road trip. We're going to visit Uncle T and Auntie J. I've got my Charlotte watching me, my bottles and good company, MaMa and YehYeh. They can talk to me for hours.

My nursery is ready!

It's been 11 weeks and my nursery is finally ready! The crib is sweet. Mommy's rocking chair is here and I'm set. I've started sleeping in my own room.



Daddy wanted to make sure I was comfy. I think he missed having me in their room.



Like my stuffed animals?

More cradle cap....

I've lost a lot of hair from the cradle cap, but at least it seems to be settling down. There are only have a handful of scaly patches left. The hair is growing back slowly. Male pattern baldness.... great!




However, it's now easier to fall asleep. I don't wail anymore, I just drift off if you let me calm down. Waking up is another story. I get so hungry!!!!

Playing with the Grandparents

They spoil me wonderfully.

New Clothes!

It's Daddy's firm BBQ and I'm trying some new outfits for it!





This was the one Daddy and I eventually picked. A present from Auntie Lynn. I think the staff are getting them too! *wink*

July 4, 2007 - Grandpa's Birthday

It's Grandpa's 70th birthday. Look at that snazzy shirt!

I've found my thumb... that helps me fall asleep.

Sleep is an elusive animal. Mommy's so happy when I sleep through 3 hours at night.




I felt pretty good in this position one night: perched on my soft nursing pillow, on top of the rocking Dondalino and in my sleep sack. Gotta switch between that, my papasan, my cradle and the big bed. My crib is still awaiting delivery...whenever my nursery is ready...

July 1, 2007 - Canada Day

It's Canada Day and I have my maple leaf! Waiting for the day to sing "O Canada" with Uncle Marty and Lucas.

June 19, 2007 - Dragon Boat Festival

It's Dragon Boat Festival, when lotus rice wraps are eaten. Look at the size of this wrap! I'm full looking at it.

Cradle Cap

I've developed massive dandruff at week 7. It doesn't bother me but I guess shampoos with baby oil, Dove and a bit of Nizoral are in my future. Auntie Juliet says its OK but I have bald spots where the scales are the worst. Ugh! On a good note, I now weigh 11.5 lbs.
