First steps for Keira

We have had a few great weeks here at the Lucky Gass ranch. Heather and I are both one year older, and heading rapidly for the mid-thirties(!). We also all enjoyed a great visit with Nana and Uncle Ian. Jason was in his element with everyone around, and couldn’t believe his luck in getting so many Nana cuddles. Nana Lou also got lots of time with Keira, particularly when I was grounded with a 24 hour bug. Keira also enjoyed hanging out with Uncle and made sure she got in middle of all the playing. One time, when Jason and Ian went playing a game she likely didn’t know how to bust in on, she just started standing up on her own repeatedly and making eyes at Uncle Ian – ‘Helllloooo! I am over here! Still cute!!”.

Some of you may also have received an email newsflash that Keira took two steps last Monday- she did but hasn’t decided to take anymore. She is too busy climbing on everything!

We are enjoying glorious spring time, almost summer-like, weather here. Much to our surprise, after she was cold all winter, Keira also seems to heat up rapidly. Jason of course is also hot. We went to see the Tulips last night, and Jason was suitably enthusiastic – “Look, purple ones, pink ones, yellow ones…” We also had a great playdate with friends yesterday. Jason and his friend were telling 3 year old jokes and make themselves (and mommies) laugh a lot. “Where could dinosaurs live?” “In Gatineau Park…in Jason Park…in Macaroni Park…” Anyway you probably had to be there but it was the height of 3 year old humour. Keira has started signing quite a lot, especially “all done” (e.g. all done sleeping), and shaking her head “No”.

I will post photos soon.
