At The Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday, Ellenor went to the Pumpkin Patch off Lickman road with her playgroup friends. She loved being surrounded by so many pumpkins--especially the little ones. She discovered that a little pumpkin can roll like a soccer ball, which motivated her to kick it down the road. So, we learned that pumpkins are good for more than just posing beside--they're fun too!

If I Were Going To School...

If I were going to school this week, I would wear this dress because it kinda says cute but smart all at once! This dress, however, does not say "I'm not listening to you and I'll do what I want to do Ha Ha Ha" although this is what I am really like! It's important to look the part and not give too much away :)

Swimming with a Dress!

When the weather is warm, who needs a bathing suit? Just jump right into the water with your clothes on and enjoy the sensations of clingy fabric onto your skin! My dad said something about no wet T-Shirt contests for me, but I'm wearing a dress---duh!

When at a restaurant......

I've discovered a couple of fun things to do while eating out. While waiting for the food, you can colour or chew the crayons...whatever you're in the mood for---and who's watching.
Or, you could put the colouring paper over your face and play "peek a boo".....although my version involves hiding for up to 5 minutes (seriously, I'm not kidding!) and wait for the adults to find you, because you know, your eyes are closed under the paper, so it's a really good hiding spot! If total boredom sets in, throwing food at nearby tables and their occupants is a good alternative.

At the Beach

This is Ellenor's first spa treatment, although I told her her skin was already quite soft, she insisted on the full body mud treatment. Let me just say, there was sand where no sand should be! It is such a blast having Ellenor walking!! And the little monkey is getting quite adept at walking away with things (i.e. shoes) and hiding them in places that mommy would never think to look! Ah, the joys of growing up!

I CAN WALK!!!

I finally figured out this whole walking thing last week, much to my family's excitement! They were whooping and hollering and cheering....but despite all this racket, I managed to walk all by myself. And, I figured out how to stand up after I've fallen down (which I've been doing a lot of these days) and keep walking to where I wanted to go in the first place. I must say, it is a lot of fun---I've even developed this technique while walking where I stick my tongue in and out, while smiling and laughing, which gives me the hiccups. Talk about multi-tasking! Anyways, I wanted to pass along the news. See you all soon!

Holidays In Winnipeg

I have been a little traveller lately. On June 23, I flew to Winnipeg with my mom and dad. I didn't sleep one wink--there was just too much going on! I met with a bunch of mommy's friends and their kids. I met them last year, but I was only 3 months old at the time, so I didn't really remember them. I had a really good time in Manitoba, although the weather was very humid and hot! There were thundershowers and lightening almost every night! On June 28 we flew back to Kelowna (which is where I am now), and I am enjoying my Gramma and Grampa's pool! I am visiting with friends and having a good time. I've also decided to only have 1 nap during the day, so I'm teaching mommy when it is a good time to put me down (I say the morning but mommy says the afternoon after lunch because that's when she's tired and wanting a nap---we'll see who wins!) I head back to Kelowna on July 6, and I look forward to seeing my Chilliwack friends (and daddy) again soon!
