First Blood-Dinara's First Bad Fall

Hello everyone. Well yesterday was an event filled day...first we went to the University to get Dinara her first check up. Everything seems to be fine but the doctor is referring us to a pediatrician that he knows. She will check Dinara over more thoroughly. The doctor at the University did listen to her lungs and her "wheezing" isn't from there...it must just be nasal congestion. This is a bit of a relief. After the appointment we took her to the Geology Department to be introduced to everyone there. Jane (our departments office manager) just loved her...within minutes she offerred baby sitting services (that makes two individuals already vying for that position). Then we introduced her to one of my collegues Dr. Brian Pratt. We had a nice long conversation with him in the staff lounge...this allowed Dinara to run around while we talked. He was smittened too. While visiting in the lounge Dinara took a spill and need Mommy to comfort her. While being comforted she passed out cold. So we put her in the stroller and she managed to remain sleeping. We decided to take a break and have some Timmy's...we had donuts and coffee. It really is the simple pleasures you miss when you travel. We then ran into a couple of students (Fina, and Jenn) and visited a little longer outside the Tim Hortons. We finished our University visit by talking with the Cuggy's (the new parents of Nephertiti). They also told us how cute she is. We love showing off our precious little one. I can't believe how much she has added to our lives already. After the University it was off home to have some lunch. During the car trip I looked over and she was squirming and grunting...all the parents out there know what this means...yep she took a poo. So we were rushing home to make sure we could change her promptly. Nobody wants to stay sitting in that type of mess.

After lunch we were all downstairs playing. Dinara was playing with her peeka blocks and decided to walk with two of them in her hands. Well that was a big mistake...she took a spill and smacked her face into one of them. This particular block had some moving parts and it bit her. She now has a cut on her nose...boy did she not like this. Her parents didn't like it too much either. I didn't freak out too much though. I just got a kleenex and dabbed the blood up. Daddy doesn't like blood too much but did a good job not panicing. I then put a little vaseline on it and all was good. She went back to playing but the two blocks she was holding are being punished and are up on a shelf right now.

Not much else to say. Our friends Fina and Jordan visited last night and Aunty Fina is just in love with Dinara...and I think it is mutual. Dinara loves to play with her and even walks towards her when Aunty says her name. Dinara also tried a new food last night...Vietnamese Cashew Chicken without the Cashews. She loved it!! I think this might be her all time favorite right now.

Here are some more pics for you all. We will definitely be keeping up the blog so no more worries from our friends around the world.

This is a pic for Grandma. This is a toy that both my sister and I played with. Dinara loves to play with it. I mounted it in her play pen.

Well bye for today. Dinara is fussing and needs to be put down for her nap. Hope you are still enjoying the posts.
