Adventures in Calgary

A great, relaxing long weekend for all. A visit with Gram Nancy Saturday...Melinda's birthday party Sunday (pictures to come hopefully)...a day in the backyard on Monday. If only every weekend was 3 days long.

We gave Molly a break from food for the weekend and started her back on veg/fruit and rice cereal yesterday. She was much better about not shoving large portions up her nose...we hope she keeps up the good work.

In other news, I could've sworn that I heard Molly say "Mom" twice yesterday. Today she said "Ga" clearly.

Today we had a homemade babyfood exchange with the other moms from birthclass. It's always great getting together with them (and the babes) because its nice to see how much of what Molly is doing is personality and how much is just developmental stage stuff...for example - right now Molly is loving hitting stuff...turns out all the babies are happy hitting stuff right now. Seems like a small thing but when Molly is hammering away on anything and everything it makes you wonder if it's 'normal'. Molly is still the littlest of the bunch (not that I'm complaining, I love having a small/light baby). Annick seems to be the most mobile on her belly. Angus is still the largest. I think Elliot wins for most demanding. And Macara is the quietest. It'll be really cool if we can keep in touch with all these families for years to come because it really is invaluable having people who are going through similar stuff.
