I'm loving this weather! Today and yesterday it got up to 15 (59)! After having a baby, I think my favourite thing about warm weather is not having to worry about layers and blankets. It's hard getting a baby all bundled up! I can't wait to throw her in a bubble and head out!
Addison is finally having a growth spurt (yay) but quickly growing through clothes (nay). Her winter boots were amazing and lasted the whole season. They were adorable and we got a great deal. They're a size three and too tight now, just in time for Spring. I pulled out four pairs of size fours and none of them fit! She grew out of a three, through a four, and into five! So now she has no shoes and never had a chance to wear those four pairs. Same goes for Spring jackets. I thought she had four, but she actually only fits into two. They'll fit until my birthday if I'm lucky! Thank God for hand-me-downs. I'd cry if I had spent all that money on clothes she never got to wear.
The snow is almost all gone now, with none in the near forecast. Spring is near! Isaac and I took her out to the lot for a hike through the grass. She tried to go both up and down a big hill, with great difficulty. She picked at grass and touched every tree branch she came near. It was hard at first, walking in her big boots, but she did really well. She's made definite progress this week in terms of running. Her confidence is skyrocketing. We're in trouble!
Not afraid of anything
Taking in her surroundings
She insists on walking along the foot path now, from the driveway to the back door. If you take her for a walk, you don't even have time to put the stroller away before she's off and running. Thankfully she does still enjoy the stroller/trailer, and walks well while holding onto our hands. She has thoroughly enjoyed doing laps around our house in the grass for the past two days.
She's feeling much better after having had Pink Eye and a cold. I can see two points of both of her top molars now, though, so she's still not quite her happy self. Hopefully they'll come quickly and she can finally have some peace for the first time since she started teething at six months.
We're starting to brainstorm some ideas of what to do this Summer. I might be working at the local garden centre, which starts in April or May. I'm also coaching soccer from early May until late June. I don't know which age group yet. It could be U7, U9, or U11. I did U5 a few years ago and I loved it but I'd like to coach a team that actually plays, without it being too dramatic and competitive like you'd get in U14 or U18.
We want to go to Wonderland this Spring when it gets warm but it's still not too busy. Preferably before June, when school gets out. I'd also like to go to the Zoo in the Summer once the hippos and giraffes are out. They have penguins now (again) too! I also have Megan's Baby Shower and a get-together in Toronto with some fellow mamas and babies. I can't wait!
