Nova Scotia Bound

Sorry I've been so bad at keeping the blog updated these days. Life has been absolutely crazy. Daniel has had lots of visitors, and we have been quite busy. Aunt Maggie was in town, and the Langsenkamp's were up, too. We also had a trip to the Wisconsin Dells for a couple days. Now we are finally at the cottage. Daniel was a great traveller, and we made it up here without much trouble. The only bad thing was that our luggage arrived somewhat wet because of the rain in Toronto. Daniel has adjusted to the time change well (sleeps from 10 pm until 7:30 am), and likes all the attention from the family.

The weather has been quite decent considering the forecast predicted rain every day. It is in the 70s and partly to mostly cloudy. The beach has not been too enticing, but that is fine with me as Daniel is a little sensitive to the bright light. For now we are spending our days receiving visitors at the cottage and working at the farmhouse.

Daniel is quite the charmer these days. We see tons of smiles, and last night Matt got him to giggle for the first time. Hopefully he will continue to give us giggles. He is shoving everything into his mouth and is grabbing and holding toys all the time. I suspect that we will see teeth sometime in the near future. It is amazing how much he has changed in the past few weeks.

The games are this weekend. So we will be busy all day with activities. I'll try to get some more pictures and updates up next week.

Daniel's first visit to a waterpark. Don't worry, we did not schedule this as a family outing. I had to be there for a conference.

Sleeping in his tent. So far he loves it. We think it will be handy for the beach. No bugs or sun inside!
Daniel loves the Bumbo. It is pretty funny to see him 'join the crowd' on top of the table.
Daniel decided to catch a few zzz's before getting on the plane in Milwaukee.
Daniel in his new hat at the cottage. He's loving it so far.
