Dinara and the Play Pen Attack

When it rains it pours...now Dinara not only has a small cut on her nose but also has a cut on her lip. Today Andrew and I set up her new play yard (play pen) and she was having a good old time in it. This evening, however, the good times halted when she tried to climb out of it (unsuccessfully) and fell...biting her lip. She was definitely not happy about this. The play yard is upstairs...this allows us now to put her in a secure place and do some house work. Our floors have all been cleaned upstairs. It is wonderful...we are no longer stepping on food or sticky substances.

On a better note Dinara has learned a new skill...she can now climb stairs (supervised of course). She is quite the explorer. We didn't even try to teach her about the stairs but she learned none the less. We took down the blockade and she just started crawling up them in front of us. She surprises us every day. We went shopping today at our downtown mall (Midtown). We finally used one of the baby shower gifts we received...$100 gift certificate. We went to Children's Palace and purchased three tank tops, a pair of jeans, a jean skirt and a sundress (this tranforms into a skirt and a tunic). They are soooo cute. I think Grandpa is going to love the shirts we bought her. We also received presents in the mail today. Andrew's Aunt Joy sent us some very cute summer outfits for her. They are just darling and we can't wait to put them on her. Aunty Bridget sent us a memories album that she made with some pics of Dinara from the blog and some spaces for us to put more photos in. She also included a gift for Andrew and I...Champagne flute with skulls on them. They are from the Disneyland Vintage Store. We love them!! I have put them on display already. Thank you Joy and Bridget for your gifts we really love them.

Here are some pictures of Dinara today...

Dinara is turning into a little monkey already! See, it's not a play yard, it's a "baby cage." I'm serious ;-)

When I saw the flutes with the skulls, I knew you MUST MUST MUST have them. I would have got you a set of 4, but they only had 2 left in the store!

Only 8 more sleeps (not including naps) till I get to meet your little one!!

Although she is cute in the pictures, she will absolutely melt your heart in person. It is such a thrill to finally have her here in Edmonton. She is such a happy little girl. She is such a going concern. Love and kisses and hugs. Grampa& Gramma
