Victoria Day Post

So it is a stat and I am not getting paid for it ... Weird! I have been off work for almost a year and I am still not used to it.

So last night we went to the May 2-4 BBQ and fireworks extravaganza in Lawrence Station at Bill and Mary's and despite the single digit temperature we had a great time. The bonus to it being so friggen cold was the fact that we didn't need coolers for the food or the drinks :) We did however cut the fireworks short because it was getting too close to freezing for all the kiddos. The main downfall of the evening was the fact that Daquiri decided that she needed to roll in something dead... So she is now carrying the beautiful aroma of death... Disgusting!

This was the first year of the fireworks when everyone had a kid... I guess that means that we are all growing up.

So I made a new Potato Salad it was awesome... Highly offensive but damn tasty... If you are interested you can find the recipe here.

So there are a few new milestones this week on the Hannah front, Thursday she cut her 3rd tooth, front top left, and the front top left eye tooth is right there as is the front right, needless to say she is not the happiest camper. Infants Motrin is the shit though... After days of battling with Tylenol with no real success one does of Motrin and she seems to feel better, and I think she may have actually slept a bit last night. She is also standing and pulling herself up on things... Mostly her toys, a box and the coffee table( which looks hilarious since her armpits are level with the table... This makes the clean and sweep a much easier task). We tried meat for the first time... Well lets say that didn't go over so well... We will try it again in a few weeks.

If you are staying up to date with the pictography of all things Hannah you will see that she got her first set of wheels, she is much more enthralled with the box at the moment , but she is finding the car more entertaining everyday.


Other than that things are typical in the day and the life of new parents...

It's my first Mother's Day!

Mommy and Hannah doing the Britney on Mother's Day














So far so good :) I received 2 e-cards, one from Hannah and one from my Mom, and I got to sleep in until 11:15!!!!! Holy crap I haven't had that much sleep in ages.

Road Trip!!!
Whooo Hooo!!!
Niagara Falls here we come!




















Now Stop taking my picture and drive!!!




















Chris took us to Niagara Falls NY yesterday to do some spring shopping at the outlet mall. Holy crap was there ever a lot of Canadians there! It was fun and I finally have some new clothes that fit. My favourite purchase was a green t that says... "I want to be a truck driver!" I thought it was appropriately hilarious, hence the purchase.

8 months old and already plotting world domination!



















So what's new... Hannah is now officially over 14lbs! As of Friday(her8 month b-day) she was 14lbs .5 oz and 26 inches long. She is motoring like mad, and new this week is the get up on hands and feet and attempt to crawl/dogwalk. I think she is spending tooo much time with the dog :) For her 8 month birthday she got a swing for the backyard.

Well that is about it for the update... Hannah has just awoken from her nap(on me... you really think I would have time to blog otherwise?).

2 days till Uncle Pat comes home... and only 1 until Auntie Toad Comes home :)
