Say "hi"

Thought I would post another funny pic.
If you ask Ayla to say hi - she simply opens her mouth as wide as possible and pretends to say hi. . . she just can't quite figure out how to get her words out?!

A few of Ayla's new faces

A friend of mine recently posted a few pics of her little girl doing this "face"...I thought it was funny that they were both into this "look" at around the same time! It cracks me up... let's just hope it's a phase!! Jen (my friend) refers to it as the "what the F___K are you talking about" face.

Cold house

We were so used to the warmth of our little Condo we didn't know what hit us when summer dissapeared. Here Ayla is eating her breakfast in her hooded sweater. She also LOVES her new hand me down toque from her cousin Hayley... she kept this one on for over 1/2 a day!!

Been a while

Ok yes... I know it's been a long while since we last posted. Unfortunatley every spare minute that we've had has gone to painting, working or of course parenting! Ayla is certainly keeping us on our toes. Since turning 1 in August she hasn't allowed us to catch our breath. She is SO close to walking - so far only 9 steps at a time. I think she would be a full fledged walker if she didn't try running each time she got up. I'm happy with her taking her time... This walking this is a whole new ball game. Ayla still isn't talking, but it doesn't stop her from trying! She is currently in a stage where she will open her mouth all the way and pretend to say "HI" - unfortunatley nothing comes out! She can say "dada" and knows what and where eveything is in the house. She's a smart little girl and we love her SO much! Here are a bunch of pics that show her in action. More posts to come... I promise!
