We have defined summer this year as the time that we'll be away from Cold Lake .... for 8 weeks we'll be travelling across the country (and through the States) to Ottawa and Halifax. We've been talking about this trip since we were in England! And now, it is upon us: we leave Monday morning - early. We're still not sure how this trip is going to go seeing that we now have a baby ... we know that she sleeps well in the car, let's just hope she'll also sleep when we reach our destination each night! Speaking of Ainsley ... she is 6 weeks old tomorrow and is now 8 lbs. She is still tiny, but the changes are becoming very noticeable. She's filling out alot and starting to get a little 'buddha' belly : ) We're really looking forward to showing her off to all of our friends and family on the trip - should be a good time! All that being said, I do have to mention that spring here has been beautiful - it has been very warm but no humidity during the day and nice and cool at night. Plus, the sun doesn't set until almost 11:00 pm - very nice for evening walks; the sunset is always really pretty pinks and purples over the lake.
She is starting to fit into more of her clothes and is now getting into 0-3 month stuff ... which she has TONS of so Mommy is having a lot of fun dressing her : )
Here we are heading out to Peter's baseball game. Ainsley is wearing a little sweater, hat and bootie set that my good friend Kristy made for her.
Fun things she is doing now include staring at her fist and moving it around; smiling in the morning when I go in to get her out of bed; focusing on our faces and looking into our eyes; cooing a little; watching toys put in front of her, especially her little wrist rattles. She has also started spitting up a bit here and there, which makes feeding (or 20 minutes after feeding) a little more interesting! We're having a blast and its so much fun watching her grow, learn and discover her world.
And a shout out for Fletch - today is his 8th birthday! He celebrated by eating a Dentabone : )
Team PM & Ainsley
