5 months! I'm big now!

Well, Cyan is already 5 months old. You don't realize how fast time goes until you have a baby. She has almost been here with us for half an entire year! So bizarre!

I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She is such an amazing little girl.

Anyways, I thought I would share some new super cute pictures.

Here she is sitting next to her first teddy bear. The bear used to be bigger than her just a few months ago!

More to come soon of course!

We'd like to also say a BIG congratulations to our friends Brad and Naomi who tied the knot this weekend! We are sooooooooo happy for you! xox

til next time

Back from our first trip!!

Well, its time for an update isn't it?

We have been a very busy little family lately!

We just returned from a 10 days trip back East with Gen and Jeff to attend a wedding and visit family and friends. What a busy trip it was!

We left from Victoria on Aug 16th and flew to Toronto. Cyan was amazing on the plane. She slept on daddy's lap almost the entire way. We spent 3 days in Toronto. Attended Jean-Philippe and Lauren's amazing wedding, visited the city and went to the zoo.

We then drove to Ottawa and Cyan got to meet her great grandparents! What a wonderful visit that was! She also got to meet some aunts and uncles and cousins.

We did a bit of touristy things in Ottawa. Enjoyed the beautiful market everyday, went to the National Gallery and checked out the locks... one of my favourite things to do in Ottawa! We also got to hang out with Brigitte and Livia, Gen, Luc and Gaby and the Croteaus.

After lots of running around in Ottawa we headed to Montreal! We had a great dinner with our aunt Elaine and uncle Lamberto (Cyan met her first Italian man and she liked him!) We loved visiting and shopping in Montreal. We enjoyed Old Montreal and St-Catherine street and relaxed at the Sheraton.

I'm sad that our trip is already over! I have to say that travelling with Cyan wasn't much harder than travelling without her. I had to pack a lot more stuff but besides that we travelled as usual. I'm happy to see that she did ok with the plane ride and the time change. She is already back to her sleeping habits and is enjoying her toys and bed again.

We are planning on taking her to Mexico for our next trip. I can't wait to dip her feet in the ocean!

Here are a few pics of the trip. Enjoy!

Love,

Beau bébé!

Hi everyone!

Well, we're still having tons of fun with Cy-Cy! We are slowly getting ready for our big trip back east. Its going to be so great!

Cyan is doing lots of new things now. She LOVES sucking on her hands and baby talks so much with us! She also smiles all the time! She is such a happy baby.

Here are some fun pics of Cyan taken today. Enjoy!

Hi everyone!

Mmmmmmm, my hands taste so good!

So, let me think... what should I do this afternoon?

Love
Ladéna, Neil and Cyan

Cyan chatting away with mommy!

Our little girl is growing fast!

Cyan is already 3 months old! I can't believe it!

Things have been going great as always. We are in the middle of a heat wave in Victoria and our little girl is not enjoying it too much. We are headed to the pool this afternoon to cool down and enjoy the water.

I thought I'd show you all how much Cyan has grown by comparing two pictures of her in her carseat... get ready... its quite the change.

Here she is at 4 days old (sorry, the picture is small):

Here she is at 3 months old:

She's almost too big for the car seat! She weighs about 14lbs now... what a difference. Needless to say, I'm building some pretty nice arm muscles!!

Enjoy everyone!

Cyan in Hawaii

Aloha!

Here are some great pics Neil took of little Cyan. We had a hawaii party for Neil's birthday and Cyan was all dressed up. We decided to do a special photo shoot a few days later because her outfit was just too cute!

Enjoy!

Busy days!

Hello everyone!

Well, we've had some busy days here lately. Summer is in full swing and we've been having so much fun with our little girl.

My friend Brigitte was visiting with her 10 month old Livia. Cyan loved having a little friend around. We did all kinds of fun stuff while they were visiting.

The funnest thing we did was bring Cyan swimming for the first time. I swam lots when I was pregnant so I figured Cyan would love the water. So, we decided to give it a try! We all went for a first dip on Sat June 30th and sure enough Cyan loved it!

I can't wait to put her in swimming lessons. Believe it or not they start at 4 months of age! So Cyan will be taking lessons starting in Sept!

Another fun thing was that Cyan celebrated her first Canada day. We spent time downtown Victoria yesterday and went to see the fireworks last night. Cyan's eyes were wide open staring at the sky. I have no idea if she could see what was going on but she sure seemed interested.

Here are a few shots of her in the pool. Don't forget to check out the video too!
