11 Months

Katie was 11 months as of Monday - however, at that time I was having a difficult time finding anything good to say about her. She was teething over the weekend and was super cranky because of it. She cried and cried, didn't sleep well and was refusing to eat. Thankfully she's back to her normal cheerful self now.


We got Katie's ultrasound results back and everything is fine and normal with her liver. The doctor's office can't find her hip xray results though. I've been calling twice a week to remind them and they keep saying "We'll look into it", but they never seem to get anywhere. I plan to keep calling until they find them or send us back for another xray. We finally got a call from the Children's hospital in regards to our referal to their physio therapist. However, it will still be a couple of weeks before we can be seen. In the mean time we have started our own physio sessions with a family friend of the Wienses. Hopefully this will get Katie rolling and crawling. She has started bum scooting and army crawling- backwards though. She pushes herself all over our living room until she gets stuck under a piece of furniture.

As I mentionned earlier, Katie had been refusing to eat for a while there. Anything you put into her mouth would come shooting back out - making meal time very messy!


This weekend Mark and I have been hard at work in the backyard. Our backyard is pretty much at the worst possible state it could get right now. We took out the 5 huge poplar trees and still need to remove the stumps. The fence needs painting, the lawn seeded, hedges pruined, etc etc. But right now we're trying to level off a spot in the yard to set up our new trampoline. Here are the before shots, and at the end of the summer, when we're all done, I'll post the after pictures.


Also this weekend was my sister Robyn and her husband Brian graduation from the Kings University College. We didn't get to go up for the celebration, but my dad sent us this picture from his phone this afternoon after the ceremony. (Bet you wish you posed nicer now, eh guys?! :P)

We sure do love that little girl!! Her 11 month picture is so precious. We're also proud of you guys on the way you tackle the projects around your house - lots of hard work has already gone into making it "your home".
