Happy Canada Day!

What a nice weekend at the O'Brien household. Daddy had four days off which was wonderful for Avery and myself. We enjoyed the weather as much as we could, taking lots of walks and BBQing every chance we got. As you can see from the picture, Avery finds our walks quite exciting.



We went on our first outing - to Square One. Avery was wonderful and didn't fuss at all. It gave me an excellent chance to jump into the change rooms and buy some post pregnancy clothes!

Today Nanny and Oopa came for a visit, once again bringing delicious food for us to eat. We can't thank them enough.



Friday Avery's Grandma KK, Grandpa Ray and Aunt Leigh are coming to town. We are so excited for them to finally meet little Avery. Hopefully the weather will be a bit cooler for them - they are used to the humidity of South Carolina - although I imagine no one really gets used to that much heat.

Avery's umbilical cord is finally on the verge of falling off. It is taking every ounce of my being not to pick it off. It's taken such a long time and we are anxious to start a few new activities that require it to be gone - such as tummy time and his first soak bath.
