We took you to the grape and wine parade this weekend and you loved it! your favourite was a samba band called 'samba squad' at the end... as soon as you heard that beat you started bopping in your stroller!

i don't know how you knew the word, but when we were in shopper's drug mart buying mommy a birthday present, you looked over at the hallowe'en display and said 'pumpkins!'. you really seem to have a gift for language and love to express yourself, especially when you are happy. 'do you want juice?' 'yeah!!!!!!!!! yes i do i do i do i do i do i do!" You had ice cream cake for the first time on mommy's birthday and you loved it - "more!!!pleeeeeeeeeeease!"

dad was sick at home taking care of you today. i closed my eyes for a minute while you were watching yo gabba gabba and i heard you say 'water...water' i thought there was something on tv that you were seeing... turns out that you had grabbed my glass of water off the desk and were walking around with it. you came right over to me and promptly poured it all over me! you rascal!!!
