Adventures in Calgary

Yesterday Molly turned 5 months old. To celebrate, I got her a babysitter (Johanna from bookclub) and then I went golfing in the Ad Rodeo Golf Tournament. I felt pretty good about leaving Molly with Johanna. It helped that Molly cuddled right into J. when she arrived. Yesterday was the longest I've been away from Molly since she was born (9 hours). The Elks Golf Club was great. They let me use the ladies changeroom (member's only) to pump so everything worked out quite well. It was great seeing everyone from work and the industry again. I had a great team of Tammy (from Toronto) and Jordan (new suit in the office) and we had lots of laughs. Sadly I didn't win anything this year. Mark's team won ipod nanos! It was great getting out on the golf course again. I had some great drives and one amazing putt - not bad for my first time out this year at all!

Right now Molly is busy figuring out the intricacies of finger and hand movement. She's getting more vocal every day. She's an old pro at rolling and is getting better at finding ways to get at things that are out of her reach. Viv will be happy to know that she's LOVING Jeero these days and has to touch him and play with him whenever she's eating upstairs. I have been lax at filing her nails of late and I have a terribly sore scratch under my eye to prove it. Yesterday she realized that blowing bubbles when she's got carrot in her mouth is totally fun. Today she gets to try apples.
