Charlotte got her first black eye while practicing crawling. Probably more traumatic for us than her. Once we made sure she was OK we got out the cameras!

Oysters in the Garden
Sounds like a 70s album title—Charlotte had some friends over for oysters in the garden this weekend. What a delight… Judging by our blue box this morning, I think we may have drank a little too much wine, but it tasted sooo good!
Summer’s Here
Summer is finally here and it’s hot! We’re lucky enough to live next door to a water park so we headed over there to escape the heat. Charlotte is showing off her teeth in the last photo.
First Words
Here’s Charlotte practicing her vocal skills. For those die hard fans who make it to the end of the video you’ll catch her first word too. She’s been saying it for a while now but usually pretty randomly and when she gets whiny!
Hard Work
Learning to crawl can be frustrating for babies – especially when you can only go backwards!
Big Kid Chair
Dad’s off to San Fran so Charlotte thought she’d hang out in the big kid chair when he wasn’t looking. She’s working on breaking it in nicely with her drool and scratchy fingers!
This is June
Pretty much a perfect day for us in Vancouver. We had our gardener friend Jane come to prune the garden, a walk to Gastown followed by a trip to Vanier Park then some local Kusshi Oysters at home. I believe this is as good as it gets. Charlotte had her first raw oyster too—a squeeze of lemon, some fresh grated horse radish finished with a shot of ice cold vodka, Charlotte’s palette is evolving quickly.
