January Fun

This month we started giving Piper finger foods which she's enjoyed figuring out how to eat.

Not a fan of avocado I'd say.

Getting better at sitting on her own.

Best PJs ever.

Went in to feed her one night and found her like this...

Leif has had hockey games on Saturday afternoons a couple times so we've been able to go watch him.

And I've been able to start refereeing for a couple Saturday mornings too!

Piper's new handmade mitts and strap covers.

 I also finished this project for a lovely friend.

Sunday best series.

December and the Holidays

Leif celebrated his birthday in December and he was pretty excited about getting a fitbit!

For his first birthday after we started dating, I made him a carrot cake. And finally for the ninth birthday since we've been together, he got one again!

We've had a really mild winter and Piper has thoroughly enjoyed our trips to the park.

My closest childhood friend surprised me with this gift. One of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received. Purple owls!

Caught a good shot of my favourite smiley face. :)

Watching dad and uncle play hockey with grandpa and grandma.

Anything food related makes Piper so incredibly happy.

We spent Christmas out in the mountains with my family. Yet again, we can't go anywhere without this jolly jumper!

Freezing cold walk in Canmore.

Updated family picture.

My parents brought some snow shoes and we tested them out up the hill.

Games!

Loving the swing again.

We spent New Year's in BC with Leif's family. I didn't take many pictures but here are all the cousins!

Sunday best series.

Hawaiian Holiday

In December, we took Piper on her first plane ride to the best vacation place we could think of - Hawaii! This was at the beginning of the flight on the way there. Flying with a baby is not the most fun thing we've ever done...

But it was worth it for this! Her first dip was in the pool with a beach on one end (a little calmer than the ocean). She wasn't too sure of the water at the beginning.

When her dad started swinging her around, her face changed quite dramatically!

This girl knows how to relax!

We can't go anywhere without this entertainment tool.

Gorgeous resort.

You can take the girl away from work, but you can't take the nerd out of the girl. :)

She's not having any fun at all...

Pretty sunset.

First dip in the real ocean. With the cutest hat ever.

No matter where she is, it's all about the orange food!

Amazing tree we saw on a hike.

And amazing views.

Getting the hang of this water business.

Piper HATES cuddling. We're talking pushing away and screaming as soon as she's facing in and even remotely close. This grandpa had some magic powers with a tired girl one afternoon.

Getting woken up early every morning paid off the last day with this cotton candy sunrise. 'Til next time paradise!
