The happiest baby on the block...

I've read many books on babies over the last few months.  The latest one that I picked up was "The Happiest Baby on the Block".  Since reading this, Tim and I often joke about Maiya being the happiest baby on our block - and perhaps the only baby on our block.  She often gets more vocal when she gets a bit tired...  I took a video the other day of her talking to me.

Also, Lori and I finally got the dogs out for some field training... Tim came along to watch the babies for us...  I have more baby pictures than dog pictures for a change.

We we very happy we brought the bouncy chair as it made a great place to nap!

Lori and Liam (looking happy as always!)

One tired, happy pup!  We gotta do this again soon!!!

Jasper with my cousins!

We spent 3 days in Jasper (and enroute) this past week.  It was gorgeous!!  Maiya got to experience lots of firsts, first time on top of a mountain, first time in a canoe, first time cliff jumping (ok well maybe she didn't cliff jump but her cousins did)...

Here are some highlights.

Moraine Lake:

We saw a bear on the side of the road:

Napping on a rock:

The lake where Mom and Dad were married (Bow Lake):

And a couple of videos of the boys cliff jumping:

Back to blogging

I've decided to revive the blog so that I can post video's and pictures of Maiya... so here goes!

Tim's family is here from NH for a couple weeks. We've been busy with lots of family activities, the zoo, heritage park, etc. Here are some highlights!

Of course our only video from the zoo is of ... Hippo's!

Here's a picture of mom and Maiya at the zoo...

And her with cousins at the zoo...

Here's one of Em and Maiya...

Maiya turned 3 months old on the 2nd... hard to believe that 3 months has already gone by... here she is trying out her jolly jumper for the first time!

And one more video of her in the jolly jumper - warning, it is long... I still need to figure out how to edit the videos...
