Aurora visits

The next time we see Baby Aurora, she will be one year old. That will be next weekend and we're having a party to celebrate. I can't believe how quick the past year is gone.

She was here this weekend for a short but special visit. She got to see her God-mother Michelle who lives in Antigonish. She brought a birthday present which Aurora loves. Here she is kissing the elephant. This little elephant is so soft and cuddly, just perfect for snuggling with.


Aurora also got to meet Missy. Missy was cooperative and let Aurora kiss and pat her a little bit. Aurora was very gentle.

Aurora now likes to walk with one hand. She's very steady, and I expect within the next few weeks, she'll be taking those very first steps. I hope I get to see her walking before we head south.

She also now points to pictures. Both Patience and I heard her say her name.. It sounded like Ra Ra... and when she said it, she was pointing to her baptism picture on our picture rack. Patience and I looked at each other - wide eyed - did she really say her name?? We tried and tried to get her to say it again, nope... I'm sure she'll say it again in due time. Easy name to say though.


She likes to sit and cuttle and read stories with grampie. He reads her stories and she likes that. She kisses the pony book all the time. I think she's going to be just like her cousin Grace, and love all animals... elephants, cats, and ponies.


We had such a lovely visit and can't wait until she comes back next weekend. Watch next Sunday for pictures of her birthday party!

groundhog day is the second....
but i was introducing it to my kids....
who didn't know what it was....
so we talked about predictions, shadows, etc....
and we will see if our predictions are correct....
most of kindergarten is spent introducing concepts....that the rest of us just know!
so.....we talked about it last week for 3 days....
