weekend bit and pieces.

Participating in some girl talk.
Loving up papa and doing a little dance.
Sleeping makes a happy Bean.
Telepathic conversations and eskimo kisses with Uncle Glenny at brunch.
Ice cream and boardwalk at the beaches.
Brunch at home, and spotting a little friend on a walk around the neighbourhood.

Another happy weekend come and gone.
I hope we get a few more weeks of summer weather...

jellybean problems.

Man, I'm sooooooo hungry...

I'm pretty sure that this is where the food comes out...

Hm... maybe if I stare at it intently enough...

Or maybe if I try to gum it...

Nope... kinda sad now.

Oh that Bean.  She does love eating.

the bean gets shot(s).

She got her first immunizations this past week...

 Wheee! I'm having such a good day! I suspect nothing!!!

 I have a bad feeling about this place...

Trying to hide. 

 ...and the calm before the storm.

Mum was too frazzled to take a picture during the shots.

 I'm sad now... lets not do that again (little does she know...)

& we get to do it all again in 2 months.

weekend bits & pieces.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

It was a long weekend here in Canada, and it was a good one.

We got all dressed up for a very good friends' wedding.  I think she was quite excited to be in a dress.  I found out quickly (although I suspected...) that trying to carry a floppy infant in one hand, while trying to hold steady a SLR camera in the other, is a near impossible feat.

I swear she's getting heavier by the hour... Those cheeks. I want to squish them all day.  But my favourite are those hand dimples.

The Bean enjoying(?) a serenade by her papa.

We made an outing to our favourite ice cream shop for waffle cones and milkshakes, and went for a quick walk.  She's much more awake now and likes to look around.

The rest of our weekend was spent glued to the couch, watching the Olympics.
Whatever will I do when it finishes next weekend...

a multinational bean.

Last week we made a trip to the Japanese consulate to register the birth of our Bean.  All I did was fill out some paperwork, but it was a pretty momentous occasion, since it means that she is now legally Japanese.  You can't hold dual (or multi) citizenships in Japan, so she'll have a decision to make (whether to remain Japanese, and therefore give up all other citizenships, or forgo her Japanese citizenship) when she turns 20.  

But in the meantime, she'll be a Canadian and Japanese citizen (and Trinidadian if we decide to add that as well). 

Our multicultural little Bean.

And yesterday, she turned 2 months old!

My goodness that was fast - I think I'm probably going to continue saying that for the rest of my life...

She's much more expressive now, and is starting to "talk".  A very definitive happy and angry (and loud) voice come out of her little mouth.  Both are adorable and make me laugh.

So full of expressions (and possibly attitude).
Happy, angry, confused... and happy again. 

All in the span of 60 seconds.  

according to my pictures.

Thank goodness for smartphones and camera functions, because otherwise, every day would fly by in a complete blur and I wouldn't remember anything that happens.

So after my computer was "fixed", it lasted for all of less than a week.

Enter my new computer. Ya Ya.

In other news, the Bean has graduated from the bassinet to her crib.  More specifically, she's getting a little too big to comfortably sleep in the bassinet full-time.  (Yes, I cried a little on the inside when I had to put her in her own bed.)

I finally managed to put up the wall decals purchased on etsy, 

and I think they came out pretty well.

We're gradually getting into a manageable routine, and getting out more often to enjoy the great weather while it lasts.

I'm also able to find time to cook a bit, which is important to me.

The Bean has always been, and continues to be a very good sleeper and good natured girl, and we are very thankful. She really is a relaxed and happy little person... I don't think she got that from me.

Anyone else engrossed in the Olympics?

I'm not sure that we've turned our TV off since the 27th...

Although a lot of the time it's just on in the background because that little Bean of ours is pretty darn cute and it's hard to take our eyes off of her.
