Our Little Ballerina

Yesterday, Aaralynn turned 11 months. Where has the time gone? I can't believe in less than a month we will be celebrating her 1st birthday. I am so happy and sad at the same time to see her grow up.

Here are some recent pictures and videos.

A visit to Uncle Dav's.



A gift from Chris of Starburst Dancewear.

Look at the girl move.

One happy girl.

On the weekend we went to the Waterloo Art Festival with the Burke Family. Pa Pa got chosen to be part of an act.

Tired from all the fun.

Enjoying a break at the local Second Cup with mom and dad, after the power nap.


Look who's 11 months old.

What's New You Ask.

Here is what's new....

• Aaralynn has 8 teeth now.
• Aaralynn enjoys playing the guitar with Pa Pa.
• Aaralynn can now roll from back to tummy. (This makes changing a diaper a little more challenging.)
• Aaralynn loves to walk holding to something or someone's hand.
• Aaralynn loves to read her books by herself.
• Aaralynn had her first carousel ride with Pa Pa.
• Aaralynn now eats at the big table.
  
• Aaralynn had her first fever. (39.3 degrees) - Mom and Dad had their first scare.
  

On the May 24 weekend, Aaralynn's Uncle Sheldon, Aunt Amanda and Cousins Jocelyn and Spencer came for a visit. She had a great time with them. We went to the Butterfly Conservatory, Parks and The Zoo. She misses them a lot.

Say Cheese....


At the Zoo.

"Time to go home Ma Ma and Pa Pa. I'm tired."

Practicing for the next SPORK gig.


I'm a big girl now.

Put all three kids to bed.

Hurray for Sun!

Finally some time to myself. So here's what's going on around here.

• Aaralynn is now crawling forward. No long stuck in reverse.
  
• Aaralynn has 7 teeth.
• Aaralynn now says Ba Ba Ba.... and Ma ma ma.... (It puts a smile on my face when I hear her say that even though she does it indiscriminately.)
• Aaralynn loves to feed herself and sometimes she loves to throw the food on the floor too.
• Aaralynn can pull herself up to standing.
• Aaralynn loves to go to the park and go on the swing.
  
• Aaralynn is working on walking.
  
• Aaralynn loves to play peek-a-boo in the bath.

Here are some photos we took at Easter.




And here are photos taken on Aaralynn's 9th month birthday.

On The Move!

I think it is time for childproofing. (Not sure why the screen is blank. Just click the play button - it still works)

Winter Update

A lot has happened since the last time.

Where do I started. Aaralynn is now 7 and 1/2 months old. Her personality is starting to show.

Aaralynn is also now enjoying a full range of foods (applesauce, peach, banana, apriots, prunes, pears, carrots, beans, peas, squash, chicken and beef, and of course all the infant cereal)

Aaralynn went sledding for the first time.
