The Big Visit, Part III

More photos. It's been fun to go back through them and relive the fun. Makes me impatient to come visit!

Happy baby on her gorgeous blanket!

The Big Visit, Part II

They've gone home now (sad faces here!) but there are still lots of pictures to share. We all had a great time and can't wait to go to BC to visit.

Didn't want to get off!

Playing with Grandma and Russ

Tummy time and head lift!

Cameras sure are fascinating

Everyone in the water at the lake.

Sleeping beauties on the way to Saint Emilion. AWWW.

Saint Emilion

Someone wasn't super thrilled by the tour, even though
the rest of us enjoyed it!

Hi, camera!

Saint Emilion again.

Taking a walk with Poppa.

We swam in the ocean on October 2nd!

Big kisses from Aunty Sandra

Stay tuned - Part 3 coming soon.

The Big Visit

Grandma and Grandpa and Aunty Sandra are here! They sure have been keeping us busy. Sandra and Grandma left for Paris today and I have a few minutes, so I thought I'd share some photos of their visit so far.

Getting ready for a walk with Poppa!

Update

Busy busy busy. Not easy to find time to post an entry. Alixe is sleeping for longer periods at night and smiles at me whenever she sees me. She has also laughed for the first time. Big baby measured 61cms and weight in at 6kg at the last doctor's appointment - 99th percentile. Way to go, baby! Aimy is becoming more used to having her little sister around and tries to share her toys with the baby. Sometimes when the little one cries, Aimy will even try to comfort her by rocking her in her chair. She gives her lots of kisses too. She is picking up new words all the time and often surprises us with what she says. And ever since my mom sent us the DVD, she constantly asks me to put on her favourite musician: Raffi. My kid has good taste.

Some recent photos:

Pretty sundress!

Post-bath wrap

Half of a smile... still haven't caught a good one on camera

Silly Daddy put Aimy's shoes on backwards!
