So Evelyn has learned a new word in the past few weeks. Whenever I sweep the floor at home I end up collecting lots of bits of dust, bread crumbs, food etc. Evelyn is very interested in them but I stop her from playing with them and say “yuck” to her in an attempt to » Read More

Ok I know. Really too long between blog posts. It’s kind of hard with a 14 month old toddler in the house! Well the first new development in our lives is that Evelyn has learned how to throw a tantrum. Every time she doesn’t get her way she has a meltdown, throws herself on the ground » Read More

Having a 1 year old baby is so much better than having a 1 month old baby. I think I’m finally enjoying the time I spend with Evelyn and not having so much stress. As Evelyn is getting older she is starting to understand that we are doing what we can to meet her » Read More

Last week Evelyn turned one year old. Already! We had a small party at our place and some friends of ours (and Evelyn’s) came over. We made a sugar-free carrot cake, which unfortunately, Evelyn didn’t eat a bite of. She did enjoy the party once she got over the fact that people were coming to her » Read More

So yes, I had my first (and hopefully last) root canal. When I was 10 weeks pregnant I went for a dental check up and the dentist I was seeing at the time made a comment about one of the fillings he had done for me 2 years ago. He couldn’t take any X-rays of » Read More

Sometimes I wish I had an easy baby. The good news: Evelyn is finally eating solid food. It took a lot of work and it’s hard to say exactly what happened to get her out of that rut, but we’re there. Her favourites are yogurt, fruit and sweet potato but she has had a number of » Read More

We planned everything in advance in September, visiting Dan’s family, my aunt and uncle, my Dad and a few friends as well as planning a 2 day respite in Kananaskis to recover from all the traveling. First of all, let » Read More
