Odds and ends

Life has calmed down quite a bit around here, thank goodness. Aric's boss has relaxed in her expectations of Aric. He had some rave reviews after parent teacher interviews, and she couldn't ignore that. He has put some really long hours in and it seems to be paying off. As last month was Movember Aric jumped on the band wagon and stopped shaving. He grew a goatee then on the last two days of the month he tried 2 different styles. The first was the old fashioned handle-bar... super sexy. When he went to school the vice principal said "you need a cowboy hat and a picture right now.' Then the next day he took off the hooks and did the traditional stash. I called him "Merv the Perv." He was so cute. The kids in his class loved his "Mario" mustache. First thing this morning... the stash was gone. He felt disgusting wearing it.

Now comes the point of the blog that we show off the our little munchkin. Looking back at photos of Naomi and I realize how much she has grown. Her hair is getting really long. She is such a little girl now. She is walking and "talking", well more like just jabbering. But she is such a delight.

Here Naomi had stolen mommy's milk at breakfast and devoured it.


Where she learned to eat like this... I don't know, but it is funny.


Sharing her food with her cousin McKay.


She snuck a Ricola cough drop and didn't unwrap it.


We went to Calgary the other weekend for many different excuses. One of which was to see B.J. and Kyle. Here Naomi is having a pow-wow with Jo under the laundry.


Now many people in my family know me as the "Hat girl", because I always something on my head as a child. We may just have another one on our hands. She will often find some kind of hat and ask me to put it on her head. This next photo she wanted her cat hat from Halloween costume. She then squeezed herself between the two ottomans and sat to play.


She loves putting this basket on her head and walking around.


She handed me one touque... then another, so I put it on top of the other one. What a nut case she is!!! Makes me laugh.


Her new snow suit. It's a bit on the big side, but it should last the whole winter season... hopefully.



Aric sure make bath time a hoot for Naomi. He encourages her to play with the water as it comes out of the tap. Here he had taught her to drink from the tap.
My little water baby.


As for me, life is just the same. Little Sylas (in the tummy) isn't moving to much. I think I felt him move today for the first official documented moment. He is a pretty chill guy so far. I'm counting down until I'm done work again.


The following is another example that Naomi is happy to anything on her head. In case you are wondering, those are McKay's pajama pants.

Oh one more story. On Monday night we went over to our friends the Palsky's. The Boys went to the Oilers hockey game and the girls stayed in and put the kids to bed and then watched movies. Well we decided that were going to bath Naomi and Jake together. I put Naomi in the tub first and Jake followed. Once Jake was in, Naomi spun herself around so Jake couldn't see her. It seemed as though she was trying to be modest. Oh we giggled pretty good. Then later in the bath she decided that Jake needed to taught a lesson, so she grabbed on of the tub toys and started hitting him in the head. Jake just looked at her like "well this is my tub... what's wrong with you". Oh it was a fun night.
