This was the first time Therese sat in the high chair. She usually eats her cereal in the bouncy chair though, because Greta uses this high chair still.
Therese's first taste of apple--she loves it!
A couple Wednesdays ago we went to the PNE in Vancouver. It's a big fairground, and last Wednesday we could get in for super cheap because of the bank we use...so we went!
Greta really enjoyed looking at all of the animals.
In the "agradome" where all the animals were, there was also a special activity that little kids could do. Greta got an apron and went through a circuit pretending to be a farmer. She did everything from plant seeds to milk a cow to harvest honey from a honeycomb (well, she pretended to do those things...) She was really focused and interested in the tasks.
Milking the pretend cow...look at that concentration!
Whew! After all that work of being a farmer we used our treat coupons (yes, we even got treat coupons that day for banking where we do) to get some cotton candy--or cotton floss as they seem to call it here in Canada. This was Greta's first time eating such a sugary treat. When I took it away from her after letting her eat quite a bit (but barely making a dent in it!) she didn't protest a bit.
The fair had tons of rides and food and shows etc---an absolute sensory overload. We walked around and took in the sights. Greta was pretty interested in looking at the big rides, and left her mark at the fair by peeing along one of its sidewalks (she was so excited and overwhelmed, she just all of the sudden peed!) Here she is dancing at a concert we stopped off at for a bit.
The girls, so sweet!
Therese taking in the concert.
Dancing with Papa.
Totally conked out on the way home. She had a bit of a meltdown as we left the fair, but as soon as we got out of the area and were walking to our car, she quieted down and said something like "That's better". I suppose I'm glad we experienced it, but I don't think ANY of us need to go back there again!
Papa and his girls.
Therese is rolling around all over the place nowadays!
She rolled herself under the couch!
Greta likes to sit in Therese's bouncy chair. This is a "pick your battles" kind of thing. I could make a big deal about it and not let her use it, but really, I don't think she's going to break it and it's just not worth the argument anymore!
Greta is still excited about Therese EVERY MORNING when she comes out of her room! It is so so so sweet.
This photo was taken this morning before church.
Therese is starting to get on all fours and rock a bit! Yikes, she may be crawling soon!
I love to see this happy little Greta :-) She is becoming so helpful lately, and loves when we give her little jobs to do. Tonight she helped me get the potatoes ready for dinner, and recently she helped water the plants. The other day Matthew asked her to get his glasses for him and she looked SO honored to do such a task. She likes to announce: "I'm helping!" Lately she has also taken to calling me "Mom" instead of "Mama"...it's pretty cute; she is really growing up!
