Happy Canada Day!

Here is our little Canadian resting up the night before the big day. She has certainly gotten herself comfortable!!
We can often get her to sleep in her crib when it is night-time bedtime...but during the day it's still another story indeed. She seems to need to sleep in the sling during the day, otherwise she only takes half hour naps, which leave her a Grumpy Greta.











After an early morning feed Greta joined us in our bed. Matthew snapped this picture when he got up--he always gets up before us girls!

Even though she's still purely Canadian at this point she still bears a strong resemblance to her American Mama :-)







Having a jolly jumping time in her new rig! Greta received this as a gift from the church, which threw us a baby shower over the weekend. She doesn't do big jumps in her Jolly Jumper yet, but she seems to love hobbling and twirling around in it. Shortly after this picture was taken Greta made a serious mess in her Canada Day themed bloomers, which Mama promptly washed so she could still wear them to our festive BBQ later in the day.










And one final salute to Canada before bed. Greta spent a lot of time awake today. At the BBQ she was very observant and quiet--she barely made a peep--but stayed quite awake (she only slept for about an hour and a half today!) By the evening she was very tired and ready to retire in her crib. Night Night Greta.
