summer fun


another month flyin' by...

to our delight this is the smiley face we see very often through the day now! (no fan of the heat & humidity we've been experiencing she is still smiling alot) her smiles are still somewhat tricky to capture with the camera but sheer joy to see up close :)

so it seems she's as happy with us as we are with her! yeah!

Sasha had a few firsts in the past two weeks...the BBQ fundraiser at Nat Bailey for David; a fabulous weekend at the Vancouver Folk Fest; and her first mommy & me group at the community health nurse office. She's never been around so many babies at once!

Seeing so many little girls of all ages at the folk fest had me spending a lot of time imagining what it will be like every year as Sasha grows. I wonder if we'll see her running around with little fairy wings in the next few years? And as we watched Che and a girl flirting while playing soccer (which was soooooooo fun to watch!) I wondered when the flirting will begin for Sasha...and if we'd be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it! ;)

On the health front...she'll be on the anibiotics for at least another 6 months. That is when we are scheduled to see the urologist again and poor Sasha will have to redo a couple of the tests we did while in hospital. Her reflux problem is quite severe and he figures there is about a 50% chance of her outgrowing it without any further problems or damage to the kidneys. So for now it is a wait and see time...and we stay optimistic that she will not get another infection. Our glass is half full on this as we feel she is a strong and stubborn young girl...and she is perfectly healthy at this point which is the good news :)

pics below (the last you'll see of the tye dye outfit...just one of many she has outgrown now!):
-visiting Brit pool and finally being held by Stephanie...always confident we were having a girl and by far the most eager of the life guards to meet Sasha! (though everyone had their turn holding her too...she loves being passed around for cuddle time at Brit!)
- sing song time with Granma
- center of attention with Granpa & Granma Liz
- a couple of adorable sleeping pics, play time on the mat and sittin up in the chair
- at the fundraiser she met our neighbourhood superstar organizer Jim and checked out her first baseball game with daddy
- the folk fest was a great weekend where I got too much sun one day (I totally put on sunscreen...just not enough it seems!), and we spent most of our time in the shade after that! smiles for daddy and another great family pic. and then there is Sasha with Elizabeth...an adorable 8 year old who couldn't get enough of holding babies...I think she held every baby on the hill where we sat!
too cute :)
