My favorite times this past week have been "talking" with Myra. She is smiling so much these days and cooing, blowing spit bubbles, and gurgling. It is so much fun to interact with her. This morning she was especially happy and would coo as I sang silly songs. :) She is most interactive when I lay her in her crib or on the change table and during her baths. Here's a big smile we captured just prior to bath time.



I had to switch to bathing her in the bathtub as opposed to the kitchen sink since she started kicking so much the floor would get sopping wet. Plus, I could hardly put any water in the tub because she's grown so much. So, on Saturday we tried her new inflatable tub for the first time and she loved it. If I support her laying lengthwise, she's practically swimming/floating in the water. I can also lean her up against the side of the tub widthwise and she sits with her feet against the opposite side.

Here she is intrigued by Great Auntie Dorothy who came to visit from Manitoba.

We've enjoyed great company since my last post. Today my new friend Tammy and her baby Brennagh (pronounced "Bre-nah) came over for lunch. I made "Thick and Creamy Vegetable Soup" and double decker biscuits from the Anne-of-Green Gables cook book Auntie Irene gave me long time ago. It was yummy.





Believe it or not, Brennagh is actually 2 weeks older than Myra. We had the same midwives and met while coming and going from an appointment about a month ago. It's been fun to enjoy the sunny weather by going for walks together around Mill Lake. :)


Last week Tuesday was "Roast N' Toast" for the grade 8's in our middle school group (SOCK). It's tradition and a favorite activity to have the younger grades fashion "grad gowns" out of newspaper for each grade 8 kid who is moving onto youth in fall. This year, the sponsors also made Tim an outfit.
