Covergirl!

Our little Cara is on the cover of Today's Parent magazine! Well, our copy at least :) Not available on newsstands!

Reading with Daddy

Watching the snow get cleared away from our major snow fall this week that had all the hills closed in Calgary - Daddy had to leave the car and walk home!!!

Cara figured out how to drink with a straw this week and has a lot of fun doing it!

So grown up!

Landed on her nose!

Cara took her first real walking tumble this week when she was trying to walk out the door onto the cement step...she landed on her nose! And scraped it - poor thing :( the smiles came back quickly though!

Imitating "Gandalf the White" from Lord of the Rings.

Eating her first sandwich.

And loving it!

"I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming
for tomorrow I know all those Who girls and boys
will wake bright and early
they'll rush for their toys and then...
Oh the noise, Oh the noise, noise, noise, noise!"

5 shot fallout...

We didn't take many pictures this week since we were all sick (Cara with a fever from her shots and a cold that I had too and then Daddy got too!)...it was not fun at all. On Saturday though she was well enough to go to a Christmas Tea at Nana's church with me :)




She did figure out what sheep say and cows say though and she usually snorts when asked what a pig says (just not for the camera!).




And even though she was sick she practiced walking all week and is really getting good!

A party, 5 shots and some more teeth - ouch!

Our Baby class had a group Birthday Party for all 11 babies on Nov 1 - Cara wore her hat for about 4 seconds!

The top photo was taken at our final baby class and the bottom at their first Birthday Party...lots more crying at 1 year old!

Cara chowing down on her mini-cupcake :)

The party was at a coffee shop that has a whole room full of toys for kids (called "Play-Grounds") - here Cara is going to pretend to cook her pal Cameron a snack in the toddler friendly camper.

Here she is playing at the train table with Ronan.

A group shot of all the Moms, Dads and Babies!

Cara figuring out how to use a spoon...

...she is good at using it backwards!

Little does Cara know she is on her way for an H1N1 shot (her 5th shot this week! she had her 4 "1 year" shots on Monday)
You can see a glimpse of us in line on the Calgary CBC news (look around the 5:25min mark)


Trying her first mandarin orange :)
