The Princess Diaries

From Ruling Queen of Absolutely Everything, now reduced to a mere minion, doting on my daughter's every whim. Welcome to the reign of Chloë Isabella. She is our sun - pure sunshine, light and warmth... and a stubborn independence that will turn you to ash if you don't get out of her way.

I am a Mama! Our precious baby girl, Chloë Isabella was born in October 2005. So of course I am little preoccupied with all things baby related at the moment. Want to talk about home birth? Breastfeeding? Natural parenting? Homemade organic babyfood? Posh new baby gear? You catch the drift...

Chloë and Papa playing at Cosmic Adventures. By this time, Chloë is an old pro and is dragging Papa around (mostly through cramped tunnels!) giving him the grand tour for his first visit.

Okay big lesson to Mama: DO NOT cut bigger holes in your one year old's sippy cup so she can drink her homemade raspberry smoothie and THEN leave her unattended.

Mama, Chloë and Grandmaman on a trip to the park near the condo. I can hardly believe how big our little girl is now, standing so solid on her own two feet.



One little Monkey and a set of monkey bars!

Today is really cold for Mid-September! Chloë doesn't seem to mind being bundled up at all so it's off for our afternoon stroll as usual. (And Auntie Lina, you were right, all hats should have animal ears.)



A happy little Frogger having breakfast at Cora's Restaurant. We were shocked by how much she loved that little mask and how long she kept it on, grinning at us like crazy. So cute!

Nana and Grampie enjoying the metamorphosis that the evening bathtime brings:



From filthy little Piglet... To squeaky clean baby Duck.


Mama's Mistake: "Well, you're almost a year old, I guess you can try feeding yourself..."
Chloë blowing yogourty air kisses.

Is anyone surprised that Grampie was trying to get her to clap her hands this whole time so that yogourt would splatter all over those seated beside her (namely ME!)?

Who gets this excited just from shopping at HomeSense??
Oh yah, that's right... me.
