Summer!!

Well, it's finally summer here!! This evening we went for a walk and I took along a sweater because up until now you needed it. But not tonight. It was so nice to be outside and not be cold. It does mean however that our south facing apartment roasts in the evening. We don't really get to enjoy the view because we have to keep the blinds closed all the time.

We have decided to stay in our apartment for another year. We did consider moving to a two bedroom but it would be quite a jump in rent and they can be rather difficult to come by here. In order to make it work, we have been decluttering and getting rid of unnecessary furniture.

Caleb is now rolling over regularly and in general wiggling around lots. He enjoys lying on his stomach now and putting anything he can reach in his mouth.

Well that's all the news for now. We are eagerly awaiting a visit from Jen's parents and sister. They are driving up with their trailer this week. It seems that we get a lot more visitors now that Caleb has come along (strange eh). Well here are some pictures of our not so little guy.

Here is Caleb in his Bumbo. He likes it in about five minute chunks right now. Then he needs a break. You can also see he is chewing on Sophie the giraffe. He loves any toy right now so long as he can chew on it.

We packed up and drove out to Pontoon Lake one Saturday and enjoyed some relaxing time out in the sun.

Here is our little setup by the lake

One evening we also went to dinner at a local restaurant called Bullocks. It in in the old part of Yellowknife so has some of that rustic charm. It also serves amazing (but expensive) fish and chips. Caleb was a reasonably good sport throughout the meal.

Another view of Bullocks, as you can see it is part of the tradition of the place the sign your name on anything and/or leave a picture/business card on the wall. It is a very interesting place.

Here is Caleb getting his toes dipped into Great Slave Lake.

And finally, here is a video of Caleb showing off his new skill. He's moving all over the place now... and that means it's time to start babyproofing. If you look in the background of this picture you can see a hug tangle of cords underneath out TV table. I think that might be a problem :)
