The First Haircut

Craig was the one wielding the scissors and I tried to keep her relatively still with Animal crackers and Dr Seuss. Unfortunately the results do look a bit homemade. I am sure when Avery grows up and sees the last 2 photos she won't be speaking to me for awhile. I crack up everytime I look at them.
Enjoy


 

Why She Needed a Haircut

I think words are unnecessary here. The photos tell the story.

 

The Last Florida Photos

I am afraid we did not take that many good photos. It was more of a lazy vacation so there were not as many photographic moments. This is the last of them. Avery had a great time in the 2 person jacuzzi tub.



 

A Book Lover

Avery is just like her Mom, she loves books. These photos were taken at Universal Studios too. She even got to meet Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat. She was not overly impressed.


 

The Bear Walk

Avery had to crawl on some harder surfaces than she is used to in Florida, like ceramic tile and concrete around the pool. She decided to implement the Bear Walk technique to protect her delicate knees. The next series of photos captures the spectacle that is the Bear walk. Plus the last photo seems to provide evidence that we are descended from apes.


 

Fun in Orlando

We had a great time in Florida. It was a very relaxing vacation. We did not take too many photos but I will send you the highlights. The first series show Avery at the Curious George playground at Universal Studios.


 

The progress of the kitchen

Here are a couple of shots of the kitchen. It was the first time in over 3 weeks that Avery got to crawl on the floor. As you can see, they have started installing the cabinets. Unfortunately they made the doors wrong so they need to all be redone. I am not sure how long it will be before everything is done but at this point what can you do but cross your fingers and hope for the best. Our other strategy is to get out of the country. We are leaving for a week in Orlando on Saturday morning and trust me do we need the vacation. Especially Craig. He has been working like a mad man and is very tired and grumpy. Nothing a little sunshine and swimming with his daughter won't cure!
So this will be the last posting for at least a week.

 

What Have They Done?!

This was Craig's cry when our friends Sarah and Tania were nice enough to look after Avery last Saturday while Craig and I worked on the kitchen. They took her shopping at Masonville Mall and brought her back looking like this.








I thought she looked fabulous but Craig was concerned about the high girlie factor. Pink satin, pink fur, pink tights, black velvet and hair embellishments were almost too much for him to take. This, of course, was the exact effect Tania and Sarah were going for and they declared it Mission Accomplished!
