Eating & Playing

For some reason, a lot of our posts tend to be about our children doing one of two things, eating or playing. We’ll start with playing. Since we moved to this neighborhood three months ago, Callie and Zane have had a blast going out to play at our neighborhood playground. Since Zane isn’t walking yet he still just kind of sits in the stroller and watches, but he seems to enjoy being outside. He loves to chew on the stroller straps and smiles and coos at anyone who stops to pay attention to him.

We’ll tell you now the playground is a little on the beat-up and dirty side, but hey, that’s life in the place we live. Callie doesn’t know the difference and nor do the other kids. Here is a pic of her with two of her friends riding on the horsey.



As for food, Zane began eating solid food a few weeks ago. That was quite the adventure. At first he still thought it was like nursing and couldn’t really get the handle on it, but now he is a little more adept. Here is a video of him eating for the first time:



Callie’s latest cute word is ‘blueberry’. In the past, it has been extremely rare that we ever found blueberries in our part of the country, but just recently we discovered a large wholesale store in town selling frozen blueberries for a reasonable price, so this is a step up from before, although fresh would be the best! Anyway, here is a video of Callie saying ‘blueberry’, which sounds like ‘boo dee dada’.



The last thing we’ll say in this post is just a reminder that our trip back to North America (Raleigh first, then Edmonton) will begin in less than 5 weeks from today! Get excited! - We are.
