This posting is for the grandmas and aunties and everyone else who tires of my political ramblings! Alex and I took Finn and Paul to another parade. She really enjoyed herself. Mostly she enjoyed lying flat on her stomach and eating snow. In fact, I tried to take a group shot of all the kids (We met up the D.B. sr, D.B. and L.B. at the parade) and in each one... Finn was eating snow. Oh well.

Finn: Is learning to count objects. When she concentrates she will do a good job up to about 5 objects. That being said, she sometimes keeps counting even after she runs out of objects. (She can recite numbers up to 20 in English and higher than that in French). She can't look at 2 objects in my hand and tell me there are two objects there. For this reason I'm not quite ready to give her credit for understanding the concept of counting... but she might get it very soon.

Paul: Paul had his 4 month checkup today. He weighs 15lbs 12 oz and is 66.5 cm long. That means he is a pretty tall boy (90th percentile). Paul can roll back to front when he wants to now. He can sit for a few seconds... but needs help to keep his balance. Did I mention that he is really really cute too?

Memory of Dave: Nothing fancy. This time of year you'd have a great chance of finding him glued to the tube and hollering (loudly) at the football game. He'd probably be happily munching on mixed nuts and drinking a beer.
