Trip to Niagara

S and I went to visit my family in August. The trip normally takes 6 hours but at that time S would cry in the car if she wasn’t asleep. And when I say cry I mean cry. She would get so upset she would be gasping for breath. As you can image it was very distracting. On the trip down, I make it to Kingston and considered turning back. But I really wanted to go so I came up with a strategy. I would walk her around in the carrier until she was ready to go back to sleep. It worked very well. We only stopped twice for about 1.5 hours each time. It was really hard to travel with her by myself. I had to take her everywhere including the rest stop bathroom but she loved the adventure.

These are two pictures from the trip. The one in the pink sleeper was her expression after I put her in the car seat for the last time. She was ready for the trip to be over and so was I.

If S was a boy…

We have a couple of thing that really are boy’s clothes. So one day we dressed her up and took a few pictures. I think the curls still make her look like a girl.

It's been too long...

I finally have a few minutes to get to the blog. There never seems to be enough time in a day. Plus S loves to be out doing things, not sitting a home in front of the computer. Here are some pictures from August. Sarah is laying on her crib bedding. It looks really nice with the hard wood crib.

She can sit up!

S can now sit up for as long as she likes. These pictures were taken one night when she got up and didn't want to go to sleep. It's rare that she actually wakes up during the night. She will move around and ask to eat but she rarely opens her eyes.

Fun at the park

There is a small park near our house that we walk to almost every night with S. She loves the baby swings. In August, we had fun at the park with some of my family.

Favourite toy

The toy S is playing with is the first toy she ever showed any interest in. She would get frustrated when she couldn’t get it in her mouth or when it fell. We would have to take it away if she got too frustrated and say “Tu finis”. Which means “ all done” in English.

Cat nap

The first week S was born we took a picture of S and Lady. Check out the post on March 28. It's crazy how much she has grown in such a short time. S really loves Lady but I don't think the feeling is mutual.
