It looks like we just might have another hockey fan in the house! Emily manages to roll, pivot and creep to get where she wants to go now. Of course as seen in the second photo an obstacle in her way can thwart her plans. Often she likes getting to the rod hockey game which is a favorite of the boys too. She seems to like red as does Matthew who says they are the Flames, against the blue which he pretends to be the Oilers or the Leafs. Matthew has been following the playoffs and has not been too disappointed with the Flames, as he always cheers for both teams. Matthew has taken chalk and transformed our driveway into a pretend hockey rink. He has been out playing with whoever will pick up a stick with him. If the action is not too fast paced Andrew rides or pushes his trike about and pretends to be the Zamboni cleaning the ice.
Matthew is back at school after break and Andrew back at his little preschool and music. Emily is having her baptism which is done in two phases at the church. The first portion was done last weekend and the rest this upcoming weekend. She had her 6 month check up yesterday and is one big girl at 71.3 cms and 18 lbs 12 ounces. That puts her well off the chart for height and near the top for weight. The boys are also very tall and everyone comments how they have sprouted up. Matthew had outgrown his bike and got a new red one with suspension and gears. He was delighted to see how much faster he could ride with the larger bike and gears to help make going up hills easier. He rode around the Glenmore Reservoir (approx 18 kms) with Bruce on the weekend. He did this distance last year, but now can do it much quicker...truly his father's son!
