Santa Claus Came to Town...

and how!

Avery met Santa twice! Although in all honesty, both times he was asleep. Alas, no pics with Old Saint Nic as of yet. We will have to visit the mall sometime this week to finally let Avery offload his massive wish list. I hope you are ready for it Santa.



We started out our day by visiting West Park for their annual Saturday with Santa. It was a day filled with entertainment (including some impressive Ontario wildlife) and infinite amounts of timbits and coffee (which kept Pat and I satisfied). My boys got the grand tour of the Food Services kitchen and even got to see Mommy's office. It was quite a long morning and by the time Santa came to deliver his gifts, our little guy had fallen asleep in my arms.



A little later, we headed out to see Mr. Claus in Junction City Square. We were joined by many Stroller Moms, and indulged in free hot chocolate and cookies (which, again, kept us satisfied). Just as the flamboyant Kris Kringle arrived, Avery had drifted off to dream land in his stroller.







On another note, Avery turned 6 months a couple of days ago. He had his doctor's appointment (along with another set of shots) yesterday. We were surprised to find out that Avery weighs only 15lbs 13oz. Pat was certain he was at least 18lbs. We were very excited to start him on solids and promptly introduced Avery to sweet potato. I can't say it was love at first taste. Today we decided to mix the puree in with his cereal, which received better reviews. What an exciting chapter we are entering now! Bring on the blender... here I come!
