12 months

Thought I should give you Cassidy’s 12 month info along with her birthday party pics. She weighs 18lbs 3oz, peanut has gained a little over 10lbs in her first year (she was born at 7lbs 7oz). She’s in 9-12mo clothes and I’m thinking will switch over to 12mo soon.

She eating everything, favorite being beans, peas, fish, cheeseburger, peaches, blueberries and tomatoes. We still nurse 2 or 3 times a day (in the morning, before nap and bed). Depending what time she gets up, she might take one or two naps during the day.

She’s crawling all over and pulls herself up on furniture. She’ll hang onto the coffee table or couch and cruise along. Sometimes she lets go for a minute and then plops on her butt. If you give her your hands she gets super excited and walks proudly while hanging on.

She’s got a few words now: dada (daddy), beh (ben), puh (up), hi, mama, eee (kitty) and a noise that sounds like tickle tickle when you’re tickling her. She also says dis/dat (this/that) while pointing at something.

She dances and wiggles to music and tries to sing along with a song on one of her toys, super cute. Little lady LOVES playing with her pile of shoes and tries to put them on her feet. They usually don’t stay on for long when I put them on though. She also likes pulling laundry out of her basket and putting it back, then pulling it out again.

4th of July

A week late, but, last weekend we went to my mom and Paul’s cottage on Lake Ontario to celebrate the 4th.

Their addition was just finished and it looked perfect! Plenty of room for visitors too!

I love the gardens as much as I love the craftsman style architecture of the house.

The water was pretty choppy the whole weekend so we didn’t get out on the jetski. Andy headed out in his kayak for a bit though.

Ben hung out on the tube for a little bit too.

Cassidy wanted in on the action.

Andy also flew his quadcopters around in the fields behind the cottage.

Here’s a video of what the camera captured while in flight, pretty cool!

There’s even a private playground behind the cottage lane that the kids enjoyed.

Most of the time was just spent enjoying each others company.

Ben got to sleep in a tent we’d set up in one of the bedrooms, he thought it was the coolest thing ever. I actually woke him up to see the fireworks but he was scared and asked to go back inside, poor buddy.
