First hair cut

I recently decided that Davin shouldn't be subjected to any more hair trims from me :) and that he should have a proper haircut for his first birthday. So we went this morning and he did SUCH a great job! He sat on my lap wearing the cute little race car cape and watched the proceedings with confusion while clutching his favourite kind of cracker. 

Almost...

... one year old! Davin will be one on December 1. He is looking so grown up!

Delaney's first skate

This past week I bought Delaney her first skates and she was so excited to go today to our church family skate. She was able to walk around in the change room just fine while wearing them so I think she was shocked when she stepped out onto the ice and it was pretty slippery!
She was thrilled to have Uncle Bryan there to skate with and he took her all around the ice. She liked sitting on the chair more than pushing it though! I guess she'll learn with practice. She loved having Isaac, Phoebe, Mackenzie and Brady there too. Hopefully we'll be doing more skating on Papa's rink this winter.

Santa Claus parade

Friday night we met up with friends to watch the Santa Claus parade. Delaney was excited to hand her letter to Santa to the Canada Post mail carrier. It was pretty cold but we had fun, that is until Delaney announced she had to go pee. Needless to say she missed seeing Santa but I guess she'll see him at the mall! :) (p.s. Bruce, I stole some of your photos - thanks! :)


 

family photos

Last week after church we took a few quick photos. I just love Davin's outfit with the little white dress shirt under his sweater and shoes of Isaac's.

 

first steps

He's so proud of himself every time he walks. He's always grinning and looking around to see if anyone is watching.

taking a stroll

Over the past few weeks Davin has become an official walker! It started with pushing around toy bins or doll strollers or the little grocery cart and he loved the freedom of zooming around after his sister. He also learned he could stash toys in the cart to take along with him. :)

 

It's not about the tricks....

... it's all about the treats!
Dav was the cutest lion ever and Delaney was a beautiful princess. She was totally into trick or treating and did a great job talking to everyone at their doors.
And also here's our three jacks. :)

hot stuff and monkey business

Dav is such a monkey that I was excited to borrow Andrea's monkey costume for him for Halloween... it is so cute with a banana too! But it's a little small. At least I got some good photos of him in it! I also realized I had this hot pepper costume and it looked pretty funny but I thought he would get mad with his legs scrunched inside while trick or treating. :) So we went with option #3 for Halloween night .....
