Grinnin'

Out at Grandma and Grandpa's house Thursday night to pack parcels -
caught her grinning at Grandma!

My mistake!

Whoops.

I was thinking after, when I was looking in Katja's closet, that the sailor outfit wasn't from Steph, it was the PINK sailor outfit, not the blue one! Ooops. Oh well, it's still cute. The pink one won't fit for another couple months, I think, so I'll take a picture of that one too!

Trying out different outfits!

These are thoroughly mixed up in order, but no matter...

Ahoy, Matey!
In my swing with the sailor outfit that Auntie Steph gave me. Notice I'm in my fishy swing, so the mood is very nautical!
I'm really starting to 'talk', so mommy doesn't want me to clam up - she likes it!

On my way to Grandma and Grandpa's house on Sun afternoon...Fast asleep, with my favourite bear on my lap.

Speaking of Nautical - I'm happy as a clam! The gator is from my 'auntie' Margo! I like it because it rattles!

Can't wear this much longer...it's getting cold. But don't I look cute as a button. This is from Nana I think. But I can't remember...
I look like I'm holding my suspenders, as if saying, "I'm so proud!"

This sweet outfit is from Uncle Ryan and Auntie Amanda - all I need now is a pink cowboy hat and pink cowboy boots... oh ya, and a horse, Daddy!

Another one of me in my swing in my sailor outfit.
My, am I ever cute?

Another day in the life of Katja

Home with Mommy!

Hanging out on the floor in my cutiepie pants and hat, smiling away at me!

Daddy and Me!

Gnawing on my fists, looking very much like a druggie!

Very happy on the floor showing some tummy, listening to "Songs around the world" on her leap frog thingy that Auntie Steph gave her.

Old picture

I wanted to see how our new "template" worked and wanted to put on a picture. Since some of you haven't seen this one, I thought I'd put it on, even though it is over a month old.
Do you like the changes I made? I thought this was a bit nicer looking than how it was before!

Here's one I stole from mom and dad G on Saturday. My girl all snazzed up!

I took this today because she looked so cute in here and actually caught a smile - though totally by accident!! Apparently she thought I looked funny or something because I wasn't trying to make her smile!! She loves this new teething bear I gave her today - it crinkles!

This picture just makes me laugh! Having some "tummy time" in the living room, she looked up at me so seriously and solomnly! Makes her look like she has one huge noggin!

September 6-8th - Trip to Banff that happens to land on our fourth anniversary!

Our Trip to Banff... here's a few pictures! Trevor at the waterfalls (for which I have no idea what they're called!) which were very beautiful on a sunny fall day! This is right down from our hotel about 8 minute walk or so. We stopped here on the tour we took.
Liz and Katja on their hike in the morning. Yes, she's really sawing logs here! She (thankfully) slept the whole time I was hiking as it could've been miserable by myself with a fussy, hot lass! I was so glad that I went, it was a nice hike, though I felt it in my legs the rest of the day- that I don't do much hiking!
Snoozing on the bus on the way back from the hike. Of course, she woke up just in time for me to have to scarf down my delicious salmon!! She can hear me chew from miles away, this girl!
That's a half yawn, half smile...we just missed it... but it's still cute, even if she does look like Elliot from "Pete's Dragon"! :) We still love here even when she looks funny... we've gotten used to that with our family over the years, you know!
That's all for now, Love Liz
