Seven months old and growing like a weed






Spring has sprung over here at the Derkowski house and we are busy as always. I am keeping myself busy with baby group meetings and with playt, diapering and feeding Natalie. I savour the rare moment that I get for myself and so I was so happy last friday when I finally used a spa gift certificate given to me by Conrad and Diava. It was amazing I had a massage and manicure pedicure, and no baby related interuptions for over 3 hours!

Natalie is sleeping in her crib. She takes most of her naps in her own bed and sleeps there at night. Although ocasionaly after papa Chris leaves for work she will come cuddle in our bed for a bit before I get up and start my day.

We just bought a sweet backpack baby carrier on the bargain finder. We tend to buy a lot of baby stuff used and pocket the savings. For the most part there is a good selection of used baby goods out there at incredible discounts. Natalie lieks the backpack carrier although I prefer when Chris wears it as I can only wear it for 30 minutes or so before I feel like my arms are going to fall off.

She is doing pretty good eating solid food although sometimes I have a hard time getting her to eat her veggies. I just keep trying to introduce them and eventually she easts them. Her favorite food is fruit, particularly apples and bananas. She also ate her first arrowroot cookie last week and it disapeared into a big sticky mess.

GO FLAMES GO!!

Wow, Neddie has grown a lot! Amazing how fast that goes. She's still a cutie, just to make that clear. I will have to go back to babay pics of you two to see who she looks like now, but so far -to me- Neddie looks like a healthy mix of both! Right on! As for the Flames... I guess not, eh?! Didn't seem to make the first round. (don't really care about hockey anyway, hehe) Cheers and best whishes from Oiltown.
