It's finally warm here in Nova Scotia. Time to get outdoors!

Happy 1/2 Birthday!

It's true that Miss. Catie Clover is now 1/2 a year old. I remember the first few weeks of chaos and craziness and wishing for her to be older. And now all I want is for time to slow down and to be with my little girl every second I can.

Just a few of pix to share:


Pretty in pink.

Our Baby Mama Group is thriving! So many sweet kiddies and fabulous mommies!



Catie wearing her "Ellie" sweater from Aunt Fleur!


We adore this t-shirt from Mattyboy and Lisa!


And some videos.

Peek-a-boo!




To celebrate her birthday, Catie got her first taste of sweet potatoes. (Note: not a particularly exciting video. Only grandparents and great grandparents will probably be interested!). How did she like them? The jury is still out.

Some poeple by cute t-shirts for their kid

I buy t-shirts because my kid is cute



And here's mom, heading to the bath with the aforementioned kid.

Growing Up

So many exciting things have been happening lately: starting solids, using a high chair, sitting up in her stroller, and she's getting so big! It's hard to believe that she's almost six months old!


Rolling. Flipping from belly to back is an ongoing roller coaster. Even though a few weeks ago she regularly rolled from tummy to back with ease, she seems to have given it up for the time being. Consequently, she has regular yells of horror in her crib "stuck" on her belly. Really stuck? Or just a ploy to get us to come in... Is she already playing us at 6 months of age??


Oh how Catie Clover loved having Daddy around over the long weekend!


Lazy mornings in our pjs were a regular occurrence at the Hill-Woods household.


Look at the big girl sitting up in her high chair. I remember when starting solids seemed like an eternity away.

Catie looking cute in Mommy's hat.



See that little speck in there? That's Catie being a big girl in the 'regular' part of the stroller. No more car seat stroller rides for this little lady!


Proof that she actually was in the stroller. It was a crisp day that day! Coverage was necessary.


Catie is intrigued with her new Jumperoo. She does more leg "kicking" than jumping. But the toys and lights completely mesmerize her right now.


This is one of my very favourite parts of the day. After Catie finishes nursing she just hangs out on my lap and we play and sing together. I could do that all day long.


This is how we start almost every day. We bundle up and take Ellie for a walk. Catie adores being outdoors.

And Catie adores Ellie. Just loves her. I think Ellie gets Catie to laugh more than Andrew and I put together. (Note: we don't normally let Ellie in Catie's crib - this was for a photo-op only!)

Real food

Now it's on!

Catherine has been fascinated with whatever we've been eating/drinking. She loves to grab hold of a drinking glass and bring it to her mouth. And, we got the OK from the doc to start solid food ("solid" is term used with some abandon).

So here it is: Catherine's first proper meal. She's eating a rice cereal/breast milk mash up, and she's loving it.
