Summer is Here

Little pumpkin head.

Summer is here! We've been enjoying the warm temperatures, our first Summer at our new house. I've been back at work for a month now and while enjoying it, I'm already looking forward to taking two weeks off at the end of July, beginning of August to spend with Orion at my parents' cottage.

Turning into a little boy.

Orion is turning into a little boy before my very eyes. He has some teeth that have come through, he sits up on his own, he crawls backwards and it won't be too much longer until everything clicks and he's able to navigate foreward on all fours. He continues to love his in-home daycare 3 days a week, where he gets spoiled and likes to be with his friends. Next month he turns the big "1" so I'm hoping to get a big cake and take those obligatory pictures of baby destroying the cake with his hands and creating a big mess. I think his birthday will just be for family but I'd like to go all out with decorations such as a sign out front, balloons, etc... lots of colour.

Monkeys!

Speaking of colour, I'm looking forward to finally painting Orion's room this weekend. Since we moved into our new house in January, his room has since been a light sunshiny yellow colour, which has been fine for a newborn baby. However now that he's getting older, I'm going to paint it 2 shades of blue. Three walls will be a light, sky blue and then one wall will be a darker ocean blue. I'll try to put up some before and after pics at some point.

Anyway, that's it for now... keep cool and enjoy the warmth and sun!
