First of all, here’s a pic of Edzèa’s two new front teeth. They aren’t quite complete but they are coming in fast. We finally ventured out today. My cold is finally gone. So we managed to make it to Kindermusic and then the Literacy council storytime in the afternoon. Yellowknife is truly an amazing place if you are a new Mom. We get free books every Wednesday at the Storytime. Today we got a really need puppet/storybook. The finger puppet pokes through a hole in each page. Two things Edzèa loves-books and puppets. She loves her book.

I get reminded of how friendly everyone in Yellowknife is too. A little boy wanted to touch Edzèa at the coffee shop this morning and so I got to know his Mom and it looks like we might go skiing together sometime now.

I dressed her for Christmas today as we won’t be around Yellowknife for Christmas this year. Here is the outfit I picked up at the Flea Market for $2 last year. She got lots of comments on it!

She also received her first Christmas card yesterday from the Ditters grandparents. This is how she enjoyed it!

Wow. Edzèa is 7 months old. She’s a busy little bee right now. She isn’t crawling but she’s pretty good at bossing Mommy & Daddy around to get her to the places she wants to go.

Yesterday was a small breakthrough. Uncle Allan, her God-father, babysat her for the afternoon. It wasn’t going well at first with Mommy around trying to work in the house…so I left…to a screaming child who sounded like she was choking she was so hysterical to be held/played with by this *strange* man.

Fast forward to a couple of hours later:

Well, the evidence is in the pictures. She hardly blinked when I arrived home. She was having so much fun with Uncle Allan. He’s *almost* as fun as Dadddy. He had her giggling like crazy over everything. I was soooo happy as I was sooooo worried that I would never be able to leave her with anyone but Tim, me or Tracey. It’s a HUGE relief. She just  LOVED him. I guess she cried for 5minutes, then he went and wrapped her in her *blankie* and she calmed down and just had fun with him after that. He says that she hummed along with him to a song he sang her…hmmm, can we say “doting God-father”…anyways, he couldn’t believe how much she likes music. She really does go bonkers for music.

And cats.

Someone at Tim’s work told us the other day that she is the happiest baby he has ever seen. He says he thinks it’s pure genetics while we hope it also has something to do with her loving environment!

Yesterday, a lady at the Centre for Northern Families that we go to for our Songtime on Fridays and Kindermusic on Wednesdays, kept telling me how special Edzèa was. She says she likes other babies but isn’t sure why she just adores Edzèa. And she really is a random stranger although we are now getting to know her. Edzèa likes her too but she completely goes gaga over Edzèa. She appreciates people who appreciate her!

Ok, well, gotta run. Finally, my cold has somewhat subsided and I’m off to Spin class. Need to wake Daddy up to “parent” his daughter this morning!

Weather is bitter here right now. -27 yuck yuck yuck. Vancouver here we come!
