Yum Yum!






Giving Kalia solid foods over the last few months has been an adventure! It's fun watching her try new things (she has a very distict "what did you put in my mouth?!" face) and seeing whether she likes them or not. Cereal is a big hit - the first time we gave it to her, she squealed with excitement and ate it like a pro. It was as if she'd been waiting her whole life for that moment, and she giggled with almost every bite, and even helped with the spoon. We did enter a spitting out phase later on though, which is her way of showing off I think! She cries when I give her peaches, which is weird because I thought babies loved fruit! Her favorites are carrots and sweet potatoes. What a joy she is!

The Mystery of the Long Lost Blogger!


Sorry, but there's no juicy story for why I haven't blogged in, well, forever!! I've just been SO busy with my active little girl who doesn't seem to need that much sleep! I used to blog during her naptime, but lately I've been busy making jewellry while she sleeps! I was in a craft sale with my sister last weekend, and I'm also planning an open house in a couple of weeks. Plus, the farther behind I got, the more overwhelmed I got with what I all had to post to catch up. So, I decided to do a condensed version of some of the things that have happened since my last post. Enjoy!

Hockey, Hockey, Hockey!




Kalia had the exciting chance to see her first hockey this winter! We went in spur of the moment to see her Daddy play in Winnipeg at a late night game. I bundled her up in her snowsuit and she loved it! I don't know if it was the sounds, or the guys skating back and forth all over the ice but she watched even more than I did! She's also been to a few home games and in the picture above, she's sitting with her daddy watching Papa Joe play hockey. What a good sport! A couple of weekends ago was her true test as a hockey fan, though, as we braved 3 days of hockey at the EMCup! She was such a good girl and it was exciting because her daddy's team even won the cup (which she thought was delicious!)

Growing Up So Fast






Wow! It was crazy for me when Kalia turned 6 months old! Have we really had a baby for that long? My mom threw a little six month party for Kalia after church that Sunday with my family and she opened her first presents! She got some very special gifts, and had tons of fun with the balloons as usual. Mom even made a cake, which, of course Kalia didn't get to eat. Oh! It feels like my little baby is hardly even a baby anymore!
