She Thinks She's So Funny...

Natasha loves acting like a goof. Here are some recent pictures, of her wearing her dad's shoes (which she put on herself), her eating markers (she loves to colour, and she also loves to put the caps back on the markers, and sneak a taste of ink here and there), and her climbing into the dirty mopping water (she loves the water!)

Cottage Party

A few weekends ago my big boss had a party at her cottage. Natasha could not get enough of the water, even though it was cold, she just kept running to it, trying to dive in (note, it is about 23 feet deep right off the dock - no shallow areas.) We could contain her for a bit in the round tube, but she could climb out pretty quickly.

The Hair Cut

Ryan insisted she didn't need one, but after a trip to the pool and her coming out from the water, and her hair being down to her lips, I decided, even though the curls were priceless, they needed to come off. Here are some before and after shots.

Happy Canada Day!

Walking!

Natasha had been taking a couple of steps here and there for quite some time, but on Friday, she pulled it all together. Now she is a walking champion! She is very careful changing directions, and taking her time, and really doesn't fall all that much! Here is one of her longer first walks.

Vancouver

Near the end of June, we took a trip out to Vancouver for my cousin Paul's wedding, to Sarah, who we love. We spent five days out there, visiting, drinking coffee, and eating sushi. Natasha was an angel on the way there and back, and had no trouble understanding why we love Vancouver so much. She went to the park, the aquarium, granville island, the wedding, visiting with Abby and Guillaume which included Korean BBQ (which she couldn't get enough of), the beach, and a dessert place (which she also couldn't get enough of!)

Bye Bye Hair

As a fundraiser for breast cancer, Ryan shaved his head at work. It looked pretty strange, him with no hair, but Natasha and I got used to it pretty quickly. He almost kept the mohawk, but ended up not. Curly mohawk. (Hehe).
