We have had a really really busy month. This is my excuse for not writing in your blog for so long. I am going to try and recap some of our adventures.
First let me start by saying you now have 3 teeth; and you really like to use them. You like to bite mommy's finger, and really enjoy chomping your goldfishies between your top tooth and bottom two. So cute. You also had your first bloody nose. I had to take pictures becuase it was so sad. You are just trying to walk everywhere, but when you let go of the coffee table...down you went.
Here is a quick recap:
Oct 3rd, BBQ at Bill and Brenna's. Zoe, Gavin, Maya and Ella loved playing with you.
Oct 4th, We went to Samantha's baptism. You were a hit with all my work friends. You kept us entertained through the LONG service :)
Oct 5th, Mommy started training with her trainer...so hard!!!
Oct 6th, Aunt Jennifer and Hamlet came to stay with us. You have a Nanny!!! Yippee
Oct 9th, We left for Calgary to visit Annie & Chad for Canadian Thanksgiving
Oct 18th, the first of your birthday parties at Grandma and Grandpa Mangrum's.
So Calgary...travel was a nightmare. We got to the airport on Friday, and were told our flight was delayed and that we were re-booked from United to Delta direct. At first I was excited because that meant no stop over and only 2 hours of travel. We were going to go home for a few hours to see Daddy before leaving. I tried to check in a Delta while you circled the airport with Jen. Very long story short...It took 3 hours, a major baby fit, full on tears from Mommy in front of a ton of people at the airport.. and we finally got on that flight. They weren't going to let us because the two airlines were fighting about how the tickets were issued. CRAZY.
Meanwhile, you and Jennifer are sitting at the park and wait, and the car died because Jen left the air conditioning on while waiting. NIGHTMARE.
You were not a good girl on the plane. Worst ride yet. It's not like you were bad, just restless and I totally understand why. Either way, everyone on the plane loved you. People are always waving at you and you smile big time back at them.
Calgary was FREEZING. I guess they were having a weird cold spell. It was 8 degrees F. one day. But we had a great time anyway. You loved Georgia, Mika, Annie & Chad. We went to the Calgary Zoo and Banff. We took a gondola ride and went in the hot springs. You loved the the hot springs. There was one other baby in there, and he had the same birthday as you.
You sure loved those doggies. You were feeding them like crazy. Annie and I picked you up an Ikea highchair, and your favorite thing to do was drop your food and watch the doggies pick it up. Or you woudl just let them lick your food, and then you woudl eat it. Sick
You had your first Canadian Thanksgiving. Chad cooked a delicious meal and Annie, some homemade pies. You had your first pumpkin pie with whip cream. You loved the whip cream so much, that Annie just sprayed some on your tray the next day. You went in face first to eat it.
The trip home was just as eventful as the way there. In fact, the exact same thing happend to us. This time United told us to stay another night at Annie's and then they would have us no Delta direct in the morning. It was all messed up when we got there. Long story short, the United rep ended up running us all the way to our gate. But we made it and you were an angel. You slept the whole way home. Daddy was sooooo happy to see you. He sure misses you when you are gone.
This is a really long entry. I will leave it at that because I know I will want to write more about your birthday tomorrow.
Love you forever and always. Mama.
