Jared at Eight Months

1) Jared loves peek-a-boo and it always produces giggles

2) Jared had his first swim. It was in Grandma and Grandpa O’s hotel. It did not go over very well, I think it was a little shockingly cold for him. I am hoping to take him to a teach pool sometime soon for another try.

3) He loves standing. He has no interest in being on his stomach or to try to crawl. He just wants to stand and tries to walk; however, he can’t stand on his own, so basically he wants us to hold him up as he leans against something or tries to move around. He can pull himself up to kneeling position.

4) Jared is now the proud owner of two bottom teeth.

5) Still is resistant to solid food. He will eat a few things that he is able to self feed, but will usually be tight lip when it comes to the spoon.

6) He loves being outside and watching kids. He often seems like he would love to join in the fun.

Maple Festival

March is Maple season in Ontario. Last Saturday we had a family outing to Bronte Creek Provincial Park for a Maple festival. We had fun learning everything there was to know about maple, enjoyed tasty maple treats and of course had a pancake breakfast with maple syrup.  Micah also enjoyed playing in the kid’s barn and checking out the farm animals.

Auntie Time

This past week my sister came to visit. Micah loves his auntie and was so excited to see her. Jared also allowed auntie some cuddle time. We went to the Bata Shoe Museum, the ROM, the library, saw the St. Patty parade, and spend time at the playground. We were also able to have some sister time without the kids and went to the ballet, did some shopping, saw a movie, and went out to my favorite chocolate café. We all had a wonderful time and wish we lived closer together.
