Day 16 – The danger of having too much fun…

At a recent get together with one of Jaia’s besties:

Jump!

Jump!!

And…

Thankfully fun wins out over tumbles every time…

Day 15 – Smiles

I know they aren’t ‘real’ smiles yet but it gives us a glimpse of just how handsome his smile is going to be.  So much to look forward to.

Day 14 – Walking with Dad

Dan tested out our new Moby wrap while on a walk.  Wes was a happy little camper all snug with his daddy.  I think Dan enjoyed it too.

Dan - This carrier is perfect for him … he had a great nap on that walk. I was jealous.

Auntie Jenny - Interesting contraption! Maybe they come in adult sizes Dan.

May 25, 2010 - 1:31 pm

Auntie Kris - These have been my standard baby shower gift for the past few years and always get rave reviews. Wes looks so comfy…so does Dan, actually.

Dominik - Dan looks as if he is expecting, too …

Day 13 – Picking 'flowers'

May 25, 2010 - 10:24 am

Dan - Pre-Jaia: I am apalled at the city for letting the dandelion problem get so bad. Every patch of grass in the city is overrun with these weeds!

Post-Jaia: Thank you, city of Ottawa for providing my daughter with an endless supply of flowers to pick, no matter where we go. She loves them!

Auntie Jenny - LOL!

Sweet local talent

In her 3 + years, Jaia has been spoiled with fancy dancy cakes to celebrate her birthdays and other special occasions.  Like this one and this one that her Aunt Susan and Uncle Mohsen gave her on her second birthday.  I’ve tried my hand at making cute ones for her, but I lack the skill and experience to turn out something fantastic.  Thankfully it’s the thought that counts, right?

When it came to her Big Sister party, I knew I would not be able to find the time to make one myself considering I was in the hospital until 2 hours before the event, so I had to find someone who could do it for me.  And it had to be awesome.

An old friend of ours (and Jaia’s first daycare provider) has since opened up her own shoppe and makes some of the cutest cakes I have ever seen.  Seriously.  So I shot her an email and even with the tight deadline, she had no problem making us an amazing big sister themed cake.  I picked out the flavours – double chocolate and white chocolate buttercream filling – and she did the rest.

And just like I expected, Jaia’s cake was perfect.  And delicious.

Jen: You rock.  Thanks for making Jaia’s big day that much sweeter!
