Play Date with Naomie (May 17th, 2009)
Wow, daddy is really a good photographer or I'm an easy subject to shoot! I look good on this picture! I love playing outside with my daddy, he is always so much fun.
I also got to go on my first egg hunt with Naomie, in spite that Easter was over a month ago! Naomie was really good at finding the eggs that mommy hid. I did not want to play this game for too long... what is the point of finding eggs that are filled with chocolate I'm allergic to?
Louis, Naomie's little brother did not have this issue... he loves chocolate as you can see!
On our first play date at Noamie's house, we painted a masterpiece each...
We played in the basement, we ate together and finished the evening taking a bath together!
It was Naomie's first bath with a little friend! Can you tell she had trouble sharing her toys with me! I had a great time playing with my new friend, thank you Naomie.
I also want to thank aunt Stephanie for coming to my house for a quick visit with her dog Chloée I love playing with them and I'm a bit sadden that mommy did not take any pictures...
We had another cold this week, meaning mommy and myself of course. Thanks to grand-maman, tante Caro and grand-papa for helping us survive another infection.
Maya's First Bicycle Ride (April 19th, 2009)
At 21/2 years old, I was more than ready to use the little green bicycle that my mom found on the side of the road (yes, in the garbage pile of some house) . My grand-papa fixed the broken pedal and added the training wheels my mom and aunt used more than 25 years ago! I love everything about cycling, especially my helmet! I wear it all the times, indoors and outdoors, it doesn't matter!
I wear it at the park, but I don't understand why I am not allowed to wear to sleep? I hate it when mommy and daddy say no to me. I look funny on this picture because I had the influenza. I stayed home with mommy for over a week. I almost want to be sick now all the times so I can stay home with my mommy instead of going to daycare...
Of course I gave my virus to mommy, who has been sick all week long, and this time around I had to go to daycare so that she could rest!
Here is a little video of my first attempt at using my bike. I am a bit confused about the brakes and the fact that I have to keep my head up. A few weeks later and I am already so much better. I can get to the park in no time now!
So Many Birthdays! (Mid-April 2009)
A lot of people around me have their birthday around this time of the year!
It was Papie first and then Geneviève, my best friend Annabelle, my mom, Gail, my uncle Chris and finally my cousins Holly and Ryan! This means many parties, a lot of fun, a lot of junk food and staying up late! I love it!
Look at me wearing Papie's straw giant hat! There were more than enough hats for everybody in Papie's basement!
We are also ready to introduce properly my little brother (I hope so and he will be named Shadow) or my little sister (if I must, I will call her Lolo).
Mommy is 16 weeks pregnant and the baby is doing fabulous. We discovered at the ultrasound that he or she is a mover. He or she was doing backflips in mommy's tummy! The due date is October 1st, but mommy is more likely to deliver a few days ahead of time with a planned c-section. Mommy had bad nausea for the first trimester, but she is doing better now. I feel her pain as I am pregnant too! Mommy is not sick anymore, she finally got rid of her flu and cold but she is a bit worn out from hosting so many diseases! So is daddy since he works so hard and has to take care of mommy and myself! Thank you daddy!
Finally here is a clip of mommy/me/Ryan blowing mommy's birthday cake!
Welcomed and Unwelcomed Visitors (early April 2009)
We have been really busy lately. Mommy is working less, I guess the teachers are not getting sick! Good for them and us because we have been able to have visitors coming over. Unfortunately, every time we have little friends coming over we get sick. We all got a cold a few weeks ago (mommy still has it) and now we get hit by a nasty stomach flu.... Daddy was an angel and took care of us and then he got it too! Poor daddy and he had to go to work on top of that. 
Daddy also helped grand-papa in the basement, can you guess what he was doing?
We are so lucky to have our family members to help us when we are sick. Aunt Stephanie took good care of me when mommy went out partying in spite of being sick! I even slept over there, it was so much fun, I can't hardly wait to do it again. Next time, it will be in their new house!
I got to play with Aurelia and cheer for the Canadiens! They won, it was a great evening. I also got to play with two beautiful babies, Sofia and Darcy, they did not join me in the water but it was still a lot of fun!
Now, I just want to get better so that I can go swimming with my mommy.
Playing with William & Felix (March 21st 2009)
Mommy drove for a little while longer than we usually do to go visit me cousins William and Felix.
It was worth the drive, we had a blast together!
We went to the park, played hockey, went for a stroll, and best of all I got to play with their toys in their beautiful playroom! The boys had so many fun trucks, cars, ambulances, helicopters, firetrucks, their playroom is so different from mine!
We even had daiquiries, in spite of the chilling wind outside!
I'll go back for a visit for sure! Thank you aunt Geneviève and uncle Robert for inviting us!
I will leave you with a short clip of me learning to make burping sounds with a plastic cup! I was laughing so hard, until mommy took out her camera! Oh well, it remains funny for us!
Diving for Hippos and Kissing Lolo Good Night! (March 14-15 2009)
I have been so busy as usual! A title likes that makes you wonder what my mom gets me involved with!
I gave all of my sucies to the bunnies , I think I had 7 lying around! One at each one of my grand-parents' house, two in the minivan, one in the car and two more at home! Since I gave them away it's payback time for mommy and daddy, especially mommy! I have screaming contests at night and before napping to see who will cave first, Mommy usually loses! I pretend I have to go potty, that I am thirsty or hungry, that I want a hug, a song, that I am not tired or even that I have a dog hair in my mouth.
I even have extended my tantrums to day time! I challenge mommy with everything I want or don't want. I try to make her compromise and give me more of the good stuff and less of the yucky stuff. I think I am about to succeed at driving her bananas!
I still manage to be cute though otherwise all my strategies would not work on anybody! Look at me brushing my teeth with uncle Chris. His dad is a dentist and one day he will look at my broken tooth (mommy says it's not broken, it's genetic, but I say it's broken). My uncle Chris cam over just to see me and play with me, I was so happy! Tante Stephanie was awesome too, she played with me all day and let me walk Lolo outside for the second time! Mommy was pretty nice too, she does try, I have to give her that, she brought me outside to my favorite playground, but I had to go number two presto... and the washrooms were not open... I can't believe I had to poo in the park's garbage bin in front of other kids playing! It's so embarrassing mommy! Thank goodness, she did not take a picture of that!
Actually mommy sucks lately at taking pictures. We saw Eric and Bear the poodle, whom I wanted to see so badly for 3 days and mommy did not even take a picture of that memorable moment! I also got to play with Aurelia, Chris and Marianna, and yet again no pictures! Wow mommy, you will have to do better next time around!
I have a lot to say this week but very little to show for it! Mommy brought me to the pool where I got to swim and dive with tante Caro and Grand-maman. It was so much fun. Mommy had to stay on the sideline to take pictures and videos because she forgot her tankini top! Where is her head lately, I wonder? I guess she does the best she can with what she has!
Enjoy this two clips, I am adorable in each one of them (not to brag but it's true!).
Dancing with Uncle Chris (Feb. 15 2009)
Wow, daddy is really a good photographer or I'm an easy subject to shoot! I look good on this picture! I love playing outside with my daddy, he is always so much fun.
I also got to go on my first egg hunt with Naomie, in spite that Easter was over a month ago! Naomie was really good at finding the eggs that mommy hid. I did not want to play this game for too long... what is the point of finding eggs that are filled with chocolate I'm allergic to?
Louis, Naomie's little brother did not have this issue... he loves chocolate as you can see!
It was Naomie's first bath with a little friend! Can you tell she had trouble sharing her toys with me! I had a great time playing with my new friend, thank you Naomie.
