Cross Country Skiing

 This past weekend we got a bunch of snow and so on Sunday afternoon we decided to take Heidi on her first cross country ski trip we skied around a lake near where we lived and she seemed to enjoy the trip. She ended up falling asleep on Jonathan's back about half way through the trip and slept the rest of the way. She love the out of doors and seems to like going on adventures with us.

Three months

Our little girl is three months old. She is quite the little mover. She loves to smile and coo and babble to people of the phone. It she is fussy and I ask her if she want to call someone of the phone she usually smiles. She has discovered her hands and they seem to spend lots of time in her mouth. Heidi loves people and her little face just lights up when she sees someone she recognizes. 

At three months Heidi can

• roll over well
• push up with her hands 
• kick and wiggle
• stand when supported
• sit when supported
• laugh, smile, and coo
• get food off my plate
• and she loves water

10 Weeks Old

Our little girl is 10 weeks old now. It is hard to believe how fast she is growing up. She is doing new things everyday it seems.
Heidi is a very happy baby which is such a blessing. She likes people and trying new things.
At 10 weeks Heidi is

• Smiling a whole lot
• Cooing and giggling
• Holding her head up well
• Liking to stand when supported
• Trying really hard to sit up
• "Talking" on the phone (she while coo and make noises when someone is on the phone with her)
• Lifting her head when on her tummy
• And likes to go on swings at the park.

She is really trying to talk. So far we have heard her say "hi",  "mama", and "I love you". It was so cute   last night Jonathan was talking to her and was saying I love you to Heidi when she asked back I love you. I would not have believed it but both Jonathan and I heard her say it as clear as could be. She is a little sweetheart and we are so happy to get to watch her learn and grow.

Heidi's First Camping Trip

This past weekend we took Heidi on her very first camping trip. We went to White Swan Provincial Park. It is located in the mountains of Southeastern British Columbia. We were wanting to take her camping before winter set in and even thought the weather was cold we had a really good trip.

Heidi really liked the trip and didn't mind the cold or being bundled up. She slept quite well in the tent and woke up both mornings of the trip just giggling, smiling, and cooing. She was quite the little trooper and seemed to take the whole camping experience in. She really liked the hot springs and seemed to be quite the attention grabber there.

6 weeks old

Heidi is doing really well. We are really enjoy out little girl. At 6 weeks old she is still spending a lot of time eating and sleeping but is also starting to explore her world.

• She is quite the smiler.
• She likes to try to "talk" to people.
• She loves looking around at people and has a fascination with lights.
• She likes to scoot herself around pushing her feet against things.
• She can rollover.
• She has good head control.
• She is sleeping 4-6 hour stretches most nights.
• She can hold her head up and look around when on her tummy.
• She is wearing 3-6 month cloths, but the 3 month ones are getting small.
• She loves water the more the better.

At her six week check-up the doctor commented about how strong she is and told me to really watch her as she is hitting her developmental milestones early so she is at a higher risk of injury. She is weighing 10 lbs. 12 oz. and is 58 cm long.
