11 months

Dear Ayla,

What a busy month it has been! You have been working very hard on walking, but you aren't quite there yet. You are really good at cruising on furniture, using your walkers and going up and down stairs. You LOVE making a b-line for the stairs and then climbing to the top. You have no fear and are becoming a real life monkey!

Stats

Weight: 14lbs 10oz
Height:26.35"

We have had a very busy start to the month. This BIGGEST change in you, is that you now have teeth!!! In true Ayla fashion, you didn't just cut them one at a time, no, you cut the bottom 2 and then one of the top ones in 3 days! Boy was that fun! Its strange to see you with teeth now as you didn't have them for so long.

The first week of August, mama had to work and one day you came to visit. You LOVED playing in the gym. This is not surprising as you love exploring and being flipped! I cant wait until you start classes there in September.


In one weekend, you had 4 birthday parties, you popular girl!!! We tried to make it to at least part of each one. Peyton, Riley and Kate turned 1 and Tyson and Aliyah turned 2. You seemed to have a great time at all the parties. Here are some pics from Kate, Tyson's and Aliyah's bdays.











With daddy also being home, we are spending a lot of time at the park. You are enjoying crawling on the grass, swinging super high on the swings and of course, walking there on daddy's shoulders! 




A definite highlight this month was taking you the PNE/Playland for the first time. We arrived at 3:00 and only planned on staying a few hours. At 9:15, you were still going strong. You tried your first mini-donut, ate BBQ brisket and went on 4 rides; the merry-go-round, the honeybee train, the giant slide and the tea cups!! You loved it!!! I think you wanted to rides to go faster!!We can't wait to take you back again!





You had your first major illness this month :(  4 of your friends had hand, foot mouth disease and we were worried that you had picked it up too.  Although you had a fever for almost 3 days you had no spots...phew!!! You were super cuddly those days, that was the only perk.


Here are a few random pictures from the month. One for the Cartwheels staff party, one of you eating a plum and the last one of you chilling in the back yard. While you love food, fruit isn't your favourite, however, you did like it better when we gave it to you whole. Now that you have some teeth, this is a good thing :)



You are still enjoying the Whitecaps games, but some of them are harder than others. You like to be in the action, even if its around nap or bed time. You are a party animal! Here are 2 pics of you with Asher at one of the games this month. 


Speaking of being a monkey - look what you  can do! Watch out mommy and daddy, I am ready to climb!! 


Look at how you have grown! Here are your weekly pictures from this month! 






Love you Gator!
