3 months old

...and growing like a weed!!

Our little doll is developing quite the personality. We expected nothing less. With every ounce she gains, we see a little more 'tude. Baby 'tudes are the worst.

This is a a month of firsts. Her first giggle quickly turned into her first crack-up - my new favorite thing. She finally "met" her Great Grandma Dee through Skype. Her first Holiday is right around the corner - Halloween. And she's getting her ears pierced in a little less than two weeks. Her cuteness is going to shoot off the charts!! You were warned.

Becoming Canadian

I can't believe we've only been here for 2 months. It definitely feels longer. This is usually around the time that I start to get really homesick - you're in a new place, it's not really new anymore and you don't re ally know anyone. Most of you know I've done this moving thing more than The ever-intimidating maple leaf. Image by Antony Pranata via Flickr a few times. So much, in fact, that I know those feelings will eventually pass - You wake up one day and you are home . The big difference with this move has been our friends. We had a clique waiting for us. Sure, some of them were merely acquaintances when we arrived but falling in love with us doesn't take long. lol These people have never let us sit home. We've been going, going, going. And that has been a welcome distraction from thinking about the fact that we are so far away from our families. Canadian culture takes a little getting used to, of course. The subtle differences are enough t...

What's happening to me?!

A crazy thing happened on my 30th birthday - I had my first unexplained pain. I'm serious. It was amazing. Like my body was trying to tell me "You're OFFICIALLY not a kid anymore." I know I'm not old...far from it. And, generally, I'm in good health and feel pretty good. But, after 30+ years of use even the most efficient  machine is going to show some wear and tear. It will need some special maintenance and extra love. Geez, I sound like a used car. Matt and I were discussing this the other night. He turned to me as we were watching television and said, "have you noticed it's harder to get comfortable?" Yes, I have. Those positions that used to bring me such lazy joy now seem like they are designed to kill me. My favorite sleep position, for example, used to be laying on my tummy with my hands under the pillow. Today, my arms go to sleep and I wake up with pins and needles. Not to mention a "crick" in my neck. lol Oh, the "cri...

We should have named her Petri

Attention all brand-new Mommies and Mommies-to-be: Here's something no one told me -- Your immune system is about to be tested like it's never been tested before!! I was prepared to sterilize, sanitize and compulsively wash my hands. We spend the first year just trying to keep these little nuggets healthy. What I wasn't prepared for was that my getting sick is inevitable. If she sniffles, I'll be sniffling the next day. If she sneezes, I'm soon to follow....then, Daddy. Yep, it's a family affair. And what seems to be a mild cold in her gets amplified in our giant bodies. No fun. We've just spent the last two days in quarantine thanks to baby. And I still have no idea where it came from. Now, to disinfect.... What's going to happen when she starts school?! Maybe we'll just put her in a bubble. Save ourselves some trouble. Otherwise, I guess we have Malaria to look forward to. Have you met our daughter?
