The Bridesmaids

She almost made it through the entire ceremony, but just towards the end she got bored and she was gearing up to steal the show. She began chatting and hollerin' so grandma came up and whisked her away to the back.

secrets

Grandad Mike bought her this cute white Mexican dress at the market in Bucerias. ..the first of many we hope he buys for her. These photos are taken at our favourite beach bar...El Chiveros. We have been going to this particular eatery/drinkery for many years now and we are all very familiar with the staff and many of the patrons so it was great fun to introduce her to everyone.

Everyone loves the Shamrock bar...

..except Fiona. Here she has been captured by Liz, Sharon and Jesse and is not following suit with her mothers reputation of "Good time girl" Maybe she misses her Daddy and knows we are heading home to him tomorrow so she is screaming "Mom you are insane for bringing me to this country when I am only 4 months old... with the heat and the crazy drivers and the bad water and and and ...I NEED MY DAD "

jolly jumpin

Fiona takes her Jolly Jumping quite seriously. This is not a game, for her it is a chance to be autonomous and get the heck away from us...she is expressing her independance already HAHA. I think she honestly feels that she can jump jump jump her way out the door, head down the street and meet her friends at the 7 eleven to play video games and steal candy.

In these photos you can really see her red hair...it is growing fast but what is growing is definitely red. In medieval times they believed that red hair equaled moral degeneration, but if she is morally corrupt in any way, I would just blame it on her parents ; )

Wednesdays with Grandma

I think I have mentioned in the past that my mom comes in most Wednesdays to help us out. She will either take the babe while I get something accomplished or she will do the floors or tidy up or whatever needs doing...and sometimes we just lunch.



Fiona is beginning to recognize voices now and she responds well to the people who she recognizes. ...or even to the people who she does not. Instance in point, we were on the skytrain the other day and a woman seated about 5 rows away insisted on babbling with Fiona the entire journey. "Who's the pretty baby then....AWWWW oooga booga boo. Where is she...there she is, etc etc etc. It was quite awkward as I am sure she was annoying all the other riders and I kept having to do this uncomfortable smile towards the woman. Fiona LOVED every minute of this strangers attention.

Cedar basket

Baby Fi is snoozing in a traditional native cedar basket which was send to her from my cousin Ralph from Darcy, BC. His kids all slept in this basket when they were small and I can see why they all love it, its like she is tied into a mini cacoon....emerging as a chihuahua.

2 moe sleeps...

Until oss gets home fom Scotland. As most of ou know Papa Geoge passed awa las week at the age of nineti nine and oss went home to be with his famil and to sa goodbe to his Gandfathe at the funeal. We hate tat he had to go alone withot Fi and me, but we will be going to Mexico next week and it would have been too much caziness fo Fiona to be on the oad fo so long and so we staed to hold down the fot.

So as ou ma have noticed..I have lost a few lettes and numbes fom m keboad..itis awful but I have decided to just go fo it anwas. Conside it like a little puzzle.
