sorry for the delay…

Whew. I finally have a few minutes to do an update. My Dad came for 10 days and has just left to go to the airport, so we have been busy doing touristy things around Montreal, eating out or cooking and generally slobbing around. It was once again reassuring to have a parent around, since the fact that you exist is a testament to their ability to care for children. It’s always good to have a second opinion from a seasoned expert (”No, honey, I don’t think you should poke a hot needle in the baby’s eye”).

Evelyn is all grown up now and practically ready to move out. She is doing very well at holding up her head and as soon as she can lift up the rest of her body she will be crawling. She can say all sorts of sounds in babble sentences and grabs things well. She is eating less frequently now so we have a bit more control over the schedule of the day. In fact, we managed to do a great deal of things while my Dad was here including visiting Atwater market, the Lachine canal, the old port, the mountain and the Plateau. We also went downtown on the ridiculously hot days we had earlier in the week to enjoy the A/C.

In other news, Miette has a tumor and Dan and I can’t decide what to do. She doesn’t seem to be in much pain and seems otherwise alert and content, so we haven’t put her down yet. Technically I should be able to do it since I have had the training, but I don’t think I can.

I will get around to posting photos on Flickr and maybe some video on Facebook soon.
