What a weekend we've had. First of all, I must note an amazing discovery we made this week. Avery is now able to sit on his own. I tested it out after Lindsay, a fellow stroller mom, told me she has her son Owen sit on his own for a bit each day. I thought to myself, should I be trying this with Avery? On our first attempt on Monday, he lasted about 45 seconds. By Wednesday, he was on his own for a good 5 minutes. Now, he is able to sit there until he decides he's bored and has had enough, at which point he cries until we pick him up.
Okay, back to our weekend. Saturday morning, we met up with Ashley and Chris for a stroll and a delicious morning coffee from La Crema, courtesy of Chris (thanks again!).
This morning we went to Hot House Cafe for brunch in honour of Misty's birthday. We joined Misty, Troy, Karyn, Nick, Michele, Jerry and Truman. We were so happy when Misty suggested to go, as we try to hit up the restaurant at least once each year. The food is delicious and abundant, and today we were front row to the jazz band. Truman had fun dancing to the music, while Avery just fell asleep!
This afternoon we headed out to Newmarket for some more "good eats". Avery's Grandma KK, Grandpa Ray and Aunt Leighlow have finally rolled into town! So, we met them at Pat's Aunt Pam and Uncle Colin's house for a wonderful evening. Avery delighted everyone with his crazy amusement in hanging upside down. Unfortunately, by around 6pm Avery was ready to leave and became quite cranky. Of course, once at home, he refused to go to sleep and was laughing up a storm at 9pm.
He's finally gone to bed and I hope for a nice restful night for all of us. He needs his energy for all the hugs and kisses that Grandma KK and Aunt Leighlow are sure to bestow on him for the next two days. Avery, are you ready for it?

I worked at Hot House one summer and loved it.
