I'm TWO!

Happy Birthday to me! Today I
am two whole years old! I had a great Pirate Birthday here in Ontario with my new friends, and a great party in Vancouver at Uncle Bill and Aunt Carol's before we left! I got three cakes in total! I've had a lot of practice blowing out candles this month with Oma, Opa, Grandpa and I all having our Birthdays in September!

I've been having lots of fun here with my new friends Jacob, Cain and Ella. We play together all the time and do fun stuff like going to the park and the zoo. I like to give my new friends lots of hugs and kisses and say "Ella" all the time now. I'm talking a whole bunch, copying words and even putting some words together now, like "night night sheba" to Grandma and Grandpa's doggy! I know the color blue and can recognize letters "M", "L" and "O". I can even draw a circle when asked, even if it's a little messy :) Basically I'm growing up really fast right before Mommy's eyes and she can hardly believe how much I've changed in the past month. Which I suppose is fitting since I'm officially TWO now and officially a toddler and can now proceed to my full on TERRIBLE two's :P I can hardly wait to see what this year has in store for me!!

Oh, and we got an apartment in Ottawa, so in November we'll be moving there and I will have my very own bedroom for the first time ever! Of course I'll probably still sleep with Mommy & Daddy since they're so great for snuggling, but I'll have my own bed and space for all my stuff which is pretty cool!

Three more days.

We are back! I spent the last 3 weeks in Comox with my Mommy & Daddy at my Oma's house! We returned to Vancouver yesterday and leave for Ontario on Sunday. Yesterday after our long ferry and car trip Daddy went to an Alice Cooper signing. Today Mommy, Daddy and I have been packing! Tomorrow Mommy and Daddy are going to an Alice Cooper concert and Auntie Veronica is going to babysit me! On Saturday the mover's will pick up our things, and on Sunday we are flying out of BC, to stay at Grandma and Grandpa's in Ontario until we move into our apartment in Ottawa.

We had a really good trip to the island, and even had visitors! Auntie Veronica and Uncle Tony came to visit for a few days and so did Uncle Phil and Auntie Melissa. Daddy took tons and tons of really great pictures, and we took tons of great trips to really cool places. I've grown up a whole lot in the last 3 weeks according to Mommy. I can fall asleep with no rocking & no white noise and have started sleeping until 7am or later. I don't even need a baby monitor anymore. I've started imitating a lot of sounds and actions and have expanded my vocab to more than 40 words in the past few weeks. One of my favorite words is now MOON. We don't see the moon in the city, but at Oma's I saw the moon every night. The stars too. And lots of trees and water.

Daddy hasn't had time to edit many pictures yet, but I have included a few as a sneak peek. I'll leave you a link once the rest are added to Daddy's website.

Next time you hear from me, I'll be all the way across the country in Ontario...
