New year new fun!

Happy New Year everyone!

Well, as of Jan 5th Cyan is officially crawling! It was very slow at first, I could leave the room and come back and she would have moved 2 steps. But now she's a speedy little girl. The house is not officially baby proofed yet but it will be soon! Right now Cyan is hearing a lot of "NON!" and "Non Cyan, that's daddy's". She knows what the word means, she chooses to stop, laugh at me then continue to go for the computer wires, heater, plants etc!

We are slowly starting to get ready for our big move to Dockside Green. Neil and I are getting so excited. We drive by our condo a few times a week to see its progress. Right now I can see our amazing dark wood kitchen and stainless steel appliances. There are also plants in our planters outside Cyan's new bedroom window. 2 months to go and we will be in our new GREEN space!!

Here are a few pics for you all to enjoy!

Miss you all!

Merry Christmas from Victoria

Christmas is almost here!

Hello everyone!

Well, this post is well overdue! A lot has happened since Halloween!

We are all doing so well. Neil is still super busy at work but looking forward to Christmas week off. Cyan and I are keeping busy as always. We have recently added skating to our list of weekly activities. So now we are booked up Tues, Wed and Fri. I love doing all kinds of special things with Cyan. She loves being out exploring new things.

We just returned from an amazing trip in Mexico. We went to stay at my aunt Carole and uncle John's condo in Nuevo Vallarta (http://www.condoinvallarta.com/). Mom and dad were spending almost 2 months there and treated us to a flight down as our Christmas present. We had an amazing time. Neil and I really love Hawaii but Mexico was very cool too. We will definetly be going back. We took 100s of pictures. Cyan loved the sun, the heat, the ocean and the pools.

We are slowly getting ready for Cyan's first Christmas. I took Cyan to visit santa at the mall. She was very curious and wondered why she was sitting on this big red guys lap but didn't cry! The tree is already filled with presents for her. I am really looking forward to her first Christmas, I know it will be very special.

I will post with some more pics before Christmas!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Cyan is sooooooooo excited for her first Halloween! She's been wearing her costume all week!

Here she is in her very first Halloween costume. This year she's a little lion!

We hope everyone has an awesome day!

BOO!

Cyan is sitting up now! Here she is playing with her toys!

5 months and 25 days old

Well, Cyan is just about 6 months old!

Wow! What a journey its been so far.

Cyan continues to be an amazing little girl. I am still doing so much great stuff with her. Our weeks are filled with play dates with friends and lunches with daddy and shopping with grandma.

We recently started a mommy and baby aquafit class. This class is perfect for both of us! I'm getting a great workout and Cyan gets to play in the pool - which she LOVES! She's a real water baby.

Today we started a new program at my friend's school called Roots of Empathy. Cyan will be visiting her classroom (with me of course) all year. The students will be learning how to understand others and empathise towards others through dealing with Cyan. She loved all the attention she got from the big kids and adored when they sang to her.

Most of you know we have already booked our next trip! We are heading to Mexico on Nov 22nd. Neil and I can't wait to go somewhere warm. Our summer was not very impressive here in Victoria and we need to warm our bones! We are also looking forward to surfing a bit. Grandma and Grandpa will be there to take care of Cyan, we won't be teaching her how to surf just yet!

We'd like to congratulate our friends Stephanie and Christian who welcomed their new little baby boy on Sept 28th!

We are patiently waiting news from our friends Brad and Naomi - expecting a surprise soon and from Genevieve and Luc, also having a baby this month!

Here are some latest pics of Cyan! Yep, she's growing! (17lbs already! Mommy is strong!)
