Welcome to fall!

By the time most of you read this it will be fall so happy season of beatiful colours followed by moldy leaves. (As you can tell it is one of my all time favourite seasons)

Elspeth had her check up today.  Blood work looks good so far.  Got her first two vaccinations (poor little mite doesn’t realize that this is only the beginning).  We are still waiting for the results of her lead level test but things are looking good.  Most impressively, she has gained 1 1/2 pounds and grown 5 centimeters since we got home!!!!  Yes, the door on our fridge now hits her in the head.  She is exactly the same size as Katrine was at 18 months but she turns 2 in roughly 2 weeks.  Still not on the growth curve but at least we are going up.

My parents got back from Scotland and brought with them the cutest pair of purple wellies.  We put them on yesterday and she had a lot of fun jumping (sort of) in the puddles.  Heard that it is suppose to rain again tomorrow so I suppose that we will be back outside in our boots splashing around.  I am so glad that they sell rubber boots for super small feet in Scotland -the land of rain- because it appears that in Canada children are not suppose to walk around and get wet until their feet are at least size 5 or you are willing to pay waaayyy too much.

I am going to end this post with some random cute photos to make you smile on the first day of fall.

Her cousin's birthday present....I see trouble down the road. A motorbike girl?

Elspeth likes to pretend to nap. The dress was made by my Nana.
How our girls like to slide or as Elspeth says "whee".

Let's go big sis, I need some speed.
Now, it's time to relax.
What a toddler does with stickers when given free reign. At least it covered the scuff marks.
