Miz V's westcoast odyssey has begun! There are some updates due ASAP, but for now, enjoy this pic of a muddy, happy tot

Brilliant Disguise

Miz V has been trying to figure out how clothes work for the past few weeks, and yesterday she had her first dress-up breakthrough. She got hold of the nursing cover I keep in the living room in case of guests, and made it into a cloak. She then proceeded to crawl all over the house squealing at full voice, and refused to give up her newfound garment. This provided about ten solid minutes of entertainment, which for a 13 month (yes, 13 months) old, ain't bad at all.

Booked!

Miz V likes books. She has one or two, as you can see. And she likes to spend some time everyday going through her book basket and looking them over. This makes me happy. Managed to catch a candid shot of this activity today - huzzah for the zoom lens)

First Snow

Yes, the responsible thing is to tuck her into bed.

But first snow only comes once a year, and when you are less than a year old yourself, it's an occasion worth blowing off sleep patterns.

One Minute Bounce!

Jump! Might as well...

Vancouver the Second

More photographic highlights of the Vancouver visit!

Getting in the Swim

Here are some shots of Miz V's first foray into aquatics. Huzzah for splash pools! We're now looking forward to starting lessons this winter

Walkabout

Big highlights of the BC trip were the walks we took out in the Maple Ridge area. On Saturday, V rambled to North Beach with Laura and the Aunties Kenna and Sonya and SuperUncle T, then on Sunday (a much warmer day) we all set out again, this time adding Grandma McNab, Auntie Hanifa, Coz Nathan and Unca Richard to the crew, exploring the Cliff Falls area of Kanaka Creek. Dang, it is pretty - and since Miz V loves her the trees, these were very exciting outings indeed! Below - a quick slideshow of some photographic highlights...

Jump Around! Jump Around!

jump up jump up and get down!

As her neck gets stronger, Miz V gets to try more extreme sports every day. The Jolly Jumper was a very welcome gift from Lis Unger and family, and V now gets to spend a little time each day working off her little person aggression.

This clip is sideways. Pretend it's arty.

Matt built a little contraption to fit the hook, as our antique house has irregular doors. Also, this picture shows the scale of bebe to doorframe and coffee table.

She's still a wee thing. But bouncy!

Under the Blanket.

Goofing with Miz V on the dining room table. Right now, a burp blanket is the best toy going.
