Our new home

Throught I'd post a pic of the house and the happy new homeowners!




We get the keys on the 15th of August and move in on the 18th :) Looks like we've got ourselves another BUSY year ahead of us!!

The Sunglass Series

Ayla has been letting me use her as my sunglass model... These are pretty cute!! ( Love her "dog the bounty hunter" shades!)

Busy Busy

Us Cumiskey's have been a busy bunch!!! We've finally found our little dream home to be! It's funny how life takes you in circles - and we've done ourselves a 360. Life is taking us back to the place we grew up.. . Good ol' Tsawwassen! We're so excited to have found a house that we know will be wonderful for our daughter & family to grow in. The house is a wonderful rancher with potential coming out of the wazooo! This house has been taking up lots of my precious blog time. All that being said our little bundle hasn't stopped with her busy life. I suppose that's another reason I haven't been able to blog. She's certainly become a very inquisitive little girl. It seems like our "baby" is no longer... waaaaahhhh!! She's moving around like crazy and in NO rush to walk. She's trying desperatley to talk... and I think her first word will be dada. We had another tooth sprout through...which brings us to 7 and I think that there may be a few eye teeth on their way.
We've moved past always eating soft mushy baby food and graduated to REAL food - pasta, chicken, cooked veggies etc. She still loves her cheerios more than anything else! This is also an added bonus for our scavenger dog as Ayla finds it "FUN" to drop all her food onto the floor. Hurley has been eating like a king!!! The squishy face is now in the past and the new Ayla face is the scowl!?!??! Not sure where she learned that one, let's just hope it passes quickly!

Scrunchy Face

For all of you who see Ayla on a regular basis - you will know her signature face! The Krinkly face!!
For all of you who Don't see her - I thought I'd post a pic!

It's been a busy month for the Cumiskeys. We've finally sold our condo and have been busy busy busy trying to find our new home. Ayla has also become a MUCH busier and curious little girl. It seems like she has grown about a foot in a week. She's not walking yet. (thank god!!) but she is getting into EVERYTHING! She is talking (babbling) more than ever! Pointing at everything. Eating big girl foods. Sitting up in a big girl stroller. The list goes on and on!! It's hard to believe that she is 2 months away from being a year old.

Pearly Whites

I though I would post a quicky... Ayla's two front teeth have made their official debut! (Don't mind her messy face)..
They aren't in all the way but they sure are throwing things outta wack. Poor girl is back to waking throughout the night. Last night it took mama over 45 minutes to get her back to bed. (that is a first since she was a newborn). I also forgot to mention in the last entry that our little miss loves to use her new fake laugh! She is such a little, sleepy, teethy peanut. ... I already miss my little Fang.

Busy Busy Baby

Our little girl is growing up way too fast. She is a fortified crawling professional. She's a fortified "explore every nook and cranny of this condo" pro and is quickly making her way to the top of the pro. "i'm going to cry when you put me to bed" list. She's getting far too smart for this mommy!!! This condo is seeming smaller and smaller by the day. Our pending sale counldn't have happend at a better time. Of course I won't breathe until it all goes through. Ayla and Mommy are going a little stir crazy in the condo. Some days it would be so nice to just putter around in a backyard garden and have Ayla puttering with me. (Or in a playpen!?!). We're back to sleeping through the night...even with the emergence of yet ANOTHER two teeth?!?!?!?! We've moved past our baby being a little vampire and I already miss my little fang. She's sprouting both middle teeth and those suckers haven't been so easy for her. We've had lots of cuddles and crys in the last week. Unfortunatley Ayla is still on her bottle strike, which makes it hard for mommy to leave her and enjoy some evenings out. I figure it could be due to those new middle chompers?? I just hope she decides to end the strike sooner than later.

Also have some new firsts to report; Cheerios! (new favorite!!), first swing ride, first time swimming (no pics - waaahh). Lots of new pics to come on the flickr link! Keep your eyes peeled.
