Shots!

Today marked Noelle's 6 month immunizations, hooray! We don't have to return to the health clinic for another 6 months..She did very well, remembering to breathe between screamings. Kyra was oblivious to all the goings on (as all caring sisters should be) and concentrated on colouring a halloween picture the nurse gave her. She's quite into colouring and drawing and painting lately - it's like a little artistic switch has just been thrown. And as any proud parent can say, we see some talent! ha ha. She does do a mean (and fairly recognizable) rendering of a happy face with lots of spiky hair. We're so impressed! Noelle's drawings aren't so impressive, as she merely attempts to chew the crayon at this stage. Which reminds me that her third tooth is making its way through her gumline. At this rate she'll be completely dentured by her first birthday! I guess I'd better introduce her to a toothbrush.. and a big steak!

A week of firsts!








It's been a fairly eventful month here at the Brown house! We saw Kyra spend a few fun-filled days with her Grandparents out in the mountains (her first time away from Mom & Dad!) and Noelle got her first succulent nosh of solid food AND her first 2 teeth in one week.. Pretty exciting stuff on the Mom-scale! Yesterday we did a trip to Heritage Park for Railway Days and we all enjoyed the 2 steam engines they had to ride on and all the model railways on display - including an entire LEGO city complete with Lego Calgary Tower and High Speed Lego Trains! Ah, it's nice to see that some people have time for their hobbies..
