Shots from daycare

I've included a bunch of recent pictures that Kaniz recently sent me from some of the days Sylvie has been at her home. She seems to be a busy girl, if not somewhat serious, in these pictures. Pretty cute of all of them...

Sylvie, Noah and Quentin work on their masterpieces.

Sylvie in a tub and family time on the deck

Sylvie loves water, especially playing with water in the kitchen sink. She pulls up a chair from the table, I fill up a dish tub, and she proceeds to very intently pour water from various containers and splash about.
On this particular occasion (see below), Sylvie started out fully clothed, but as she progressively got more and more wet, off came her shirt, then her pants. Of course once that happened she had to get in.

Gotta wash those toes.
(This is just moments before she decided to sit, diaper and all, in the tub of water.)

Beau and Jocelyn's mom (Mimi to the grandkids) arrived in town Friday evening and stayed with us that night. The following morning, Joc, Bibi and Iman came over. Here we all are, hanging out on the deck.

Hmmm. What's down there?

Hammock fun.

The girls and George.

Mimi and Iman share a tickle and a laugh.

Arboretum and Peek-a-Boo

Here are some pictures from an outing we took to the Arboretum before stopping by and seeing Joc, Amine, Bibi and Iman. Sylvie enjoyed taking George and her baby out for a stroll.

Sylvie and Iman found some time for some peek-a-boo fun.

Laughs and Fancy Footwork

I can't help but to be proud of Sylvie's love of laughter and the flighty foot. She's a chip off the old block. In these photos, she's trying to bull rush the camera...

And just when you think she's had enough time, she starts asking for mour. Funny stuff.

Various miscellany

I have some pictures from the past month or so that I have been meaning to post, but haven't yet. They include some shots from the Frog Pond in the Boston Common, an art class Sylvie took part in, and her second haircut.

Weeeee!

Checking out the hair care products while waiting to be called

In the chair. She looks happy here, but this was just a moment before the spray bottle came out and the tears started flowing--hence, why I have no pictures of the actual haircut.

A final parting shot. Sylvie, wearing Beau's golfing hat...following
in her daddy's footsteps, it seems!
