Yummy! I love food.

Look Grandma I'm crawling.

That laugh brightens anyone's day!

My Musical Baby

Vanessa loves music. She's starting to express it by bouncing up and down. We got her a LeapStart™ Bilingual Learning Table. She loves it. She opens the door and it plays music. She'll bounce up and down until it ends and tries again. Very Very cute. She's mesmerised by people playing the guitar. You'll see her groove to the music if you've got the right beat. When the radio is on and a song finishes, she looks at the radio for the next song. And for the grand finally.. Last night when I put her in her snowsuit I sang "Gloop Gloop" when I got to the "la di da di da" she sang along. I was so excited. She's been babbling for weeks but this week she's started to babble with me and now she sings some of the words. I'm looking forward to going back to the MotherGoose play group even if it's only for a few weeks.

Start of the New Year.

Don't worry everything is ok. I didn't murder Eric in the bath and he's not cleaning up blood. He doesn't have a new bathing ritual in cool-aid or a desire to set in Jello. While I was at Disney, I bought Eric a bath salt ball. It fizzed, smelled nice and made his skin soft which was great after you got over the rich red colour.
The time has arrived to start baby proofing our house. Vanessa crawls everywhere and is able to climb up to a stand. Soon enough she'll be cruising. (not like her grandparents) Last week-end we went to Protege Enfant and bought this gate. It works really well for us so far. On the left of the gate there's a little door. It's quite sturdy and if we have a grown up party it comes off pretty easy. We also put one in front of the pantry. It's material and locks like a seat belt. Since there's not much room there we love it.
Check out the air guitar! Vanessa pulled down this inflatable guitar to play with. Maybe she'll have musical talent. She sure didn't get it from us though.
After Christmas we went to SportExpert and bought a back pack for the family. Everyone loves it. We went for a walk on Mount-Bruno around Lac Seigneurial. It was a beautiful day. The temp was just under freezing. Vanessa bounces up and down when we put her in the pack. After about 30 minutes she was doing the I'm tired wine. 5 minutes of that and she was a sleep. She slept so well that I transferred her over to Eric without a peep.

Ohh.. I must mention that Vanessa has had her first takeout food. We ordered Benny BBQ. She had chicken and peas and a french fry. She loves all types of food. Most meals she feeds herself. It's great for everyone. I'm running out of ideas to feed her. Any suggestions?
