On holidays! We have been in Penticton for over a week already with the rest of this week to go. Lennon was great on the long drive out here. She only got a little fussy near the end. We made three stops to feed her and let her have some time out of the car seat.
We're having a great time! The weather has been perfect. Sunny and in the 30s every day. Holly has been here for the week to visit and see Lennon. Lennon loves hanging out with Auntie. She leaves today, we'll miss her. The only thing that would make our holidays better would be if Lennon would sleep better. She's been getting up fairly frequently again which is making for tired parents! She's happier than anything though so I guess we can't complain too much. And we're on a lazy holiday so it's not too bad.
Lennon is loving being able to spend time outside and is also loving the pool. It takes her a bit to get used to it but once she does she starts kicking her legs and giggling. It's very cute! She's very much into squealing now and is starting to say "mum mum mum." Although I don't think she's attributed it to me yet. Lennon is sitting up on her own really well now. When she's lying down the majority of her time is spent on her belly. She's starting to try to lift her bum a bit. Soon there will be crawling. Soon it will be time for gates in the house. Soon the days of letting her play on her mat alone will be over. Soon she'll be on the move!
Lennon is slowly starting to take to solid foods. She's still not super keen on it but will take some. We started trying some rice cereal which has gone better than some of the other foods we've tried. I just mixed some apple in with it and she's enjoying that. She still doesn't open her mouth wide for food but instead sort of sucks it of the spoon. She'd much rather just have the breast I think but she'll get there. She's also not very keen on taking breast milk from a bottle either. She will eventually when she realizes that's her only option and only if I'm absolutely nowhere in the vicinity.
On Saturday we celebrated Fred's 38th birthday! We had a good day. Fred was up early (thanks Leni!) and went out for breakfast and a stroll through the market and a car show that was on that day.i think he enjoyed a bit of quiet morning alone time. Lennon and I stayed in bed and she ate and slept a bit more. We went for lunch at Terrafina at Hester Creek winery in Oliver. It was yummy! Then we visited one of our favourite wineries, Silver Sage, for a tasting. Grandma and Paga then took Lennon back to Penticton while Fred, Holly and I took in another wine tasting and drove down to Oosoyos. It was a nice afternoon. Birthday dinner was at Vanilla Pod, another fave. The evening was chill with a cruise through town and down the lakeshore after Lennon went to bed.
I'll have to post pics and some videos when I'm back at my computer. I can't figure out how to from my iPad.
