Spin me again!

20080623-deavan.sitting-059

Despite being so close to crawling for quite some time now, Deavan has shown very little interest in sitting upright, which - apparently - usually precedes the crawling stage.  We figured he was going to skip the sitting thing... but nope... here he is, sitting unsupported for the first time, enjoying his musical lion... "Spin me again!"  "Spin me again!"  "Spin me again!"  "Spin me aga.... AARGH!! <snap> <pop> <fzzzzzzt>...

Here's "The Look", the same one that (apparently) adds "you idiot" to the end of just about everything Scott says...  The slightly furrowed brow, dimples over the eyebrows, pulled back cheek...  In this case, I believe he is conveying "how dare you present yourself before me so unkempt and unshaven"

Another face of Deavan, trying to show some modesty, despite being so damn cute!

He loves his sippy cup, reaching out for it at first sight, using both hands to grab onto it and take a drink... er, sip.  It's so neat to watch him figure out these little "skills"!  Six months old!

And finally... one guaranteed to make you laugh.

mmm.... Maple Pork Sausage...

St. Jean Baptiste Day in Quebec meant that Scott had the day off.  That makes it a perfect Tuesday for the family to visit Wheelers Pancake House & Sugar Camp for breakfast!  Pancakes, French toast, world famous maple pork sausage, and - need it be said? - bottomless Lanark County maple SYRUP!!!!!

Everything looks better through a bottle of maple syrup!

Bottled sugar makes baby happy.

Some time on the grounds.  Despite the forecast, it was a perfect day - sunny, not too warm, and not crowded.  Visiting the animals is always a highlight.
