Quickie update. Haven’t written for ages as we were down in B.C. and arrived back early this week. Tim and I are waiting for our first “official” paid babysitter to arrive so that we can go to a movie tonight. A little nervous but her Mom works with Tim so we know it will be ok. Only problem is that tonight of all nights, Edzèa is fighting going to sleep. Every other night this week she’s been no problem. 7pm conked out. Babysitter arrives in 20 minutes and she’s still not so happily awake in her crib.
Anyways, lots has happened since I last wrote. Edzèa took her first steps on June 24th at Mabel Lake. She was holding on to a chair and let go and took a few steps towards me. She did it over and over again and over the course of a few days was able to go greater distances. She’s pretty good now but still does about half/half with walking/crawling. She is just starting to figure out how to get up to standing from the floor.
On Canada Day, we all went to the Canada Day parade as a family and met all of our other parent friends/kids there. It was chaos but Edzèa was happy to be reunited with her friends, especially Mackenzie. They really are little buddies.
Later that day, I thought it would be fun to let her try fingerpainting in the tub. You will see from the pictures how impressed she was with the “yucky” finger paint on her fingers. We had to wash her down almost immediately. She just doesn’t see the appeal in messy things…is she really my child??? I guess she’s Tim’s ….
Bye for now.
