Bottoms Up!

She is working on crawling, that's for sure. It's a little hard to tell in this photo, but her bum is up in the air and she is trying to push herself forward! We can no longer leave her unattended in a room for very long, because before we know it she gets herself all the way across it. Just the other day I left her in her bedroom while I did some things in the kitchen--soon I heard a strange rustling sound, so I went to check on her. Greta had rolled and scooted herself quite a ways over to the garbage can in her room and was touching the plastic of the bag overflowing from the top! So I moved the garbage can over and she proceeded to roll and scoot herself even more--all the way to the doorway! This was a first. At bedtimes she often gets distracted with practicing to crawl and has trouble settling down. She's gotta do it!!!
This photo was taken at the end of a lovely day we had--at the park nearby having a picnic dinner.
Yikes! Matthew insisted I snap this photo we took downtown today. Greta was very curious about this mannequin!
Vancouver has gotten even better: just a couple weeks ago the Canada Line opened. Now we can catch a 5 minute bus ride from our house, connect with the Canada Line (it's like a subway--it goes from the airport all the way to the waterfront downtown), and get downtown in about another 5-10 minutes. It is so super great! We've ridden it several times already and Greta seems to enjoy all the people watching that goes along with it. Now that it's easier for us to get downtown, we'll make more treks there and enjoy the city even better than before. Greta likes hustle and bustle :-)
These next few photos were taken a couple weeks ago by our neighbor. She does photography on the side and offered to come do a photo shoot for us. There are some really great photos!
So serious.
Matthew wasn't feeling well that day...so no Greta and Papa photos were taken...sorry!! I'm sure she will come back and do some more photos again, though. Stay tuned.
