Day 184

Fun in the Sun

Today was the first day we used your pool. After Daddy nicely filled it up with warm water you had a great time splashing around. As you can see you even wanted Chloe to join in too.

Day 153

Standing

You are not yet able to independently stand (or even pull yourself up), but you sure enjoy doing it when holding on to Mommy or Daddy or the couch or a laundry basket or the table or the side of your crib (pictured above) or even Chloe. One of your favourite things to do lately is kiss all the bugs on your mobile. And now that you can stand and hold onto your crib with one hand you are able to grab and kiss the bugs with the other. Each and every time we go into your room you stare longingly at the mobile, hoping that you will be able to kiss the bugs again...and most times I let you, because it's just so darn cute ;)

Food?

Today you came outside with Daddy and I to play while we got some much needed yard work done. I plopped you in the middle of a blanket, next to a tree, with a bucket of toys within reach and what do you do...get onto you knees and stretch as far as you can so you can reach a pinecone. You were quite fond of how it felt as you fingered it in each hand and then in both together, but you were not a fan of how it felt in your mouth nor the way it tasted on your tongue. But Daddy and I are very proud of how you are so adventurous and willing to try new things!

Day 137

Hanging out at Uncle Timmy's

Fun in the Sun at the Beach

Today was by far the nicest day we have had thus far in Vancouver...thank goodness we're leaving tomorrow and not today! Adeline experienced sand for the first time...she was not a fan, which was ok with me...as no sand in the hands means no sand in the mouth or eyes! But she did like the water and she especially liked the seashells. The highlight of Adeline's day today (other than Auntie Taylor coming home), was meeting a friend at the beach. A little girl named Olivia was playing at the beach with her family and her and Adeline became fast friends...Adeline could not stop talking to her and she could not stop smiling and playing peek-a-book with Adeline. I think Adeline is really looking forward to seeing her friends back home.

Day 132

SUN!!

Finally! We took advantage by touring Stanley Park...Uncle Timmy had fun learning to drive the stroller and playing with Adeline at the Park. It was also nice to have a photographer with us so we can take some Milligan family photos!

Day 117

Sunny Days

Adeline and I have been enjoying these sunny, mild days lately. We have been doing quite a bit of walking and walking in the sun requires us to fashionably keep our milky white winter skin safe from the harsh rays of the sun. Such fashionable duds as the sunny day hat pictured above. I am happy to report that Adeline likes sun hats a trillion times more than she likes winter hats! And as you can see from Adeline's facial expression I can't day she really likes it, but what's more important, she doesn't hate it, and she will wear it (without clawing it off her head or screaming bloody murder when I put it on her). Please get out and enjoy this wonderful weather...I know we will, because who knows how long it will last!

Day 103

Fun Times at Rundle Park

Day 102

Spring Swing

We got Adeline a baby swing for our play set in the back yard and she LOVES it!  She gets to relax and swing and Mommy gets some yard work done and we both get outside to enjoy the warmer, sunnier weather, it's the best of both worlds.
