June Miscellaneous

Here are just a few snapshots from this month. During all the busyness of a new baby and an active 2 year old, I've been trying to remember to pull out the camera to capture a few photos. Even when I've had the opportunity, this endeavour is quite difficult considering the infant only spends an average of 20 minutes awake and happy when she's not eating, and the toddler is more inquisitive about investigating the digital camera and looking at the images on the screen than sitting still and posing for the camera. Despite all these obstacles, I've even managed to catch the rare instance of Cole taking an interest in his new sister ... or at least whatever apparatus she's resting in or on at the time!

Hats

After a long winter of wearing only toques, Cole decided he was not keen on wearing something to keep the sun off his face. That is until he got smitten with the idea of wearing Mommy and Daddy's ball caps. Here are a few pictures of our little man sporting his now favoured headgear.

Cole's "-Ouse"

Thanks to a fabulous sale at Zellers, us along with my mom, were able to get this wonderful little playhouse for Cole (and eventually his sister). Cole loves it. We set it up on our deck where Cole can see it from his booster seat at meals. These days breakfast, lunch and dinner end with the words "house" and "all done" meaning he wants to go play.

Outside is a working door bell and inside is a digital phone that makes noises when you press the buttons. Cole also loves going in and out and opening and closing the shutters. There is also a mail slot but he hasn't figured that out yet, mostly because we don't actually have a mailbox on our house but a locking one up the street.

An added bonus is the extra large box it came it that Cole likes to climb in and out of in our basement. However, I think we'll need our office space back soon.
