Bad bad weather

Cara had a good week in spite of the bad weather we've been having. It rained and snowed (yes snowed) all week and was quite cold so we were inside most of the week colouring, playing, dancing and napping. On Thursday we got out to our neighbor's house for a play date with little Cassidy and Cara had fun there playing with a new set of toys.

On Sunday it had stopped raining so we thought we'd go for a walk. It was only about 2 degrees so we had to bundle up - Cara was in total disbelief of having to wear mittens on May 30!

Once she realized that it meant we were going outside she was happy!

She is pretty happy these days. She started putting some words together this week like: "more cheese", "more drink", "more cookies" and "all done" (she says "all done" at mealtime after she piles everything onto her plate). We are really enjoying the communication!

Baby Byrne #2 is doing fine. We have our 18 week ultrasound on Friday June 4!!! So hopefully we'll find our if it is a girl or a boy! Stay tuned for an update and Baby Byrne #2's first baby photos! I'm feeling totally fine now, no more nausea or extreme tiredness :)

Outside fun!

Cara had some fun outside this week colouring with sidewalk chalk!

She wanted to go colour the street but we caught her before she got there!

Cara rockin' out to her music. We're hoping that she'll happily wear headphones on the plane ride home this summer!

We painted our kitchen this weekend and are happy with the results. Here is Cara posing in front of the new colour. She seems to like it too :)

We ran off and joined the circus!

We went to see the Shrine Circus on Saturday. Cara had a great time watching the animals and enjoying some circus treats!

We saw "flying" horses.

Cara got to do one of her favourite things: clap! She clapped with the crowd every time. She loves to cheer!

Cara loves snow cones! Her mouth was stained blue after it was gone!

We got a bike trailer a few weeks ago so that Cara could go for rides with Adam - then it got cold and snowed for awhile. It is finally nice again so we got it out and gave it a try. Cara really likes the flag.

This is ride #1. Cara likes the trailer but does not like wearing her helmet. She lasted about 1/4 of the way around the block and that was it. It will take some getting used to!

Mummy's sick week.

I caught Cara's flu this week so Daddy took over while I slept it off. He took this video while they were playing in an attempt to get some video of her laughing...she is a temperamental performer!

Cara was happy to watch hockey with Daddy though!

And she had great smiles for me on Mother's Day :)

I was feeling better by Mother's Day and was out of bed (yay!). Cara and Daddy gave me a great day. Happy Mother's Day to Moms everywhere!

Sick week.

Cara was supposed to go for her 18 month shots on Wednesday but on the way to the clinic she was sick and stayed sick for the rest of the week through the weekend. We didn't do much except cuddle on the couch and Cara had lots of naps. Seems like it was just a virus because today she is pretty much back to normal. Not fun having a sick kid!

She did find the time to keep up with her chores on Sunday though! Haha!
