38 weeks - Summer is here!

Cara hard at work on her blog!

Well summer weather finally arrived this week in Calgary - it is hot! We took Cara to a wading pool for a her first pool experience and she loved it! She just wanted to keep walking in the water - not afraid at all :) We'll take her back there for sure. Since she prefers to be standing and walking now anyway a wading pool is a great place to be on a hot day!

Cara is cruising all around the living room now - going from table to couch and back again. She is getting to sitting position on her own now and pulling up on anything and everything! She is also testing her balancing skills by letting go of whatever is holding her up...she has had a few tumbles but recovers quickly - most of the time she falls onto her bum :)

Cara's newest favourite foods are spinach, homemade beef hash, and pasta with tomato sauce. I spent a few days stocking up the freezer, making the new recipes, this week and so far she's enjoying to new tastes and textures.

Enjoying a story with Nana :)

Remember Cara at about 2 months old in the laundry basket?

Now she's about 8.5 months old in the same basket!!!

Wading!

Cara loved the water!

Wading in the deeper water!
