First week home

Since we landed in Toronto on a Friday, we stuck around for the weekend to visit with family. Jasper was a pretty lucky guy, he got to see all four of his grandparents and all five of his great grandparents in the same weekend. Plus some aunts, uncles and cousins too!

Getting a bit tired of visiting

We were lucky to beat the snowstorm home to get back to Kincardine on Sunday evening. Pat even got a snow day on Monday, so we had an extra day to get unpacked and get the house in order. We still had the Christmas tree up, since we left home on December 23.

"Helping" take down the Christmas tree

Jasper turned 9 months old this week, so we took his monthly Fred photo. He is getting harder and harder to make sit still. Pat had some pretty entertaining out-takes from this month's photo shoot.

Jasper seems to be getting better at eating every day. He likes to be back home in his own high chair eating regular meals again.

He has also had fun exploring the house from a whole new perspective. We're learning quickly all of the stuff he can get into now that he's crawling and standing. I looked away for about 10 seconds to find Jasper trying to type on the laptop.

Deciding which song to dance to next

It was nice to have a weekend at home for the first time in a while. I went to spin class and Pat took Jasper to his first Kindergym at the Rec Centre. He is still a bit little for it, but he had fun crawling around and watching the older kids.

Bath time with Grannie

My Mom and Dad came to visit on Saturday and Sunday. Grandma Beaton and Aunt Heather joined us for brunch at Saffron's in Port Elgin and then to MacGregor Point for a skate and a hike. Jasper slept the entire time in his new wagon with ski attachments.

Now that I write it all down, it was a busy week, but it is good to be home! Jasper has also been perfecting his dancing skills. His favourite song is still Tequila.
