First Tooth

Lucy wins the first-tooth contest, but I think Claire is not far behind to cut a tooth. 
Claire's more likely to win "first to walk" as she stands on her own a lot, with good balance.

up on the roof

We visited the firefighters up on the roof this week as they camped out in support of research for muscular dystrophy.
And I hope to never climb such steps again. With a  baby in arm. (or without).

Whirlwind Week

The past 10 days have been a whirlwind of wonderful activity.  Last weekend (Mar 2)  we bought a beautiful new home. (New to us, not newly built.)  Pictures will be shared when I take some.  We saw the house Thursday night, made the offer Friday morning, had the offer accepted by noon, signed documents Saturday morning, rested Sunday, made sure all the mortgage financing was in order Monday and now we wait (im)patiently until May to move in.
To add to the fun, my BFF was in town that weekend for her brother's wedding social. She and I went out Friday night and we all partied together (with her 4 girls and my 3 - in their arms) Saturday night.
The week to follow was prep for Abi's birthday.  Thursday, her birthday, we drove out to our future neighbourhood and registered Abi for kindergarten at the school next door.  Then back across town for playgroup/baby group. 
We also transitioned her into a simple booster seat.
That night Robin took her to see Disney on Ice - a surprise - after making her favourite breakfast for dinner: pancakes with strawberries.



Friday Abi and I baked: cookies and chocolate cupcakes for dance; two cakes for her party.
Saturday morning started with dance class and celebratory snack time, then a quick stop at home to change and put strawberries on the cakes, and then out again for her glow bowling birthday party with friends.


Sunday we gathered at grandpa's to celebrate her birthday with family and eat yet another chocolate cake with strawberries (as per Abi's request of Aunty Corey).

Peek A Boo

Claire's favourite game is Peek A Boo.  Typically she grabs a blanket to play. Last night she used the table to hide behind.
