Hmm, looking at our blog posts you wouldn't know that we made it home from California a couple of weeks ago before this most recent earthquake (in Southern Cali).
Today though we did what in my mind marks the beginning of summer...

Was it swimming in Lake Erie

Nope - we actually did that in May (which I find just amazing that the water was warm enough).
It involved some key phrases:

1) You can't climb on Mommy right now

2) If you take a bite - you have to eat the rest of it

3) The straw is not to eat

4) Another clue... okay

Did you guess - Strawberry picking - cause if you did you got it right.

It is hard to believe that summer is almost gone, and although we here at Ninja Baby Adventures have been busy we have been laxed at writing blog posts. I will however try and remedy that.
The begining of August brough NB first flight, as we travelled westward to Saskatoon to visit Grandma and Grandpa, and saw Great Grandparents too.

or what we have been doing for the past month.

As many of you guessed Ninja Baby was indeed crawling before Father's Day, and he is now an expert at it. The day before Father's Day, (Fathers Day eve if you like), we had a cowboy birthday party for my Dad at the cottage. The day started off rainy but the sun came out for the party and NB enjoyed being a little cowboy and crawling around

The end of June took us visiting and a vacation to the Jersey Shore.


The beach was not to NB's liking - the sand was too hot and the water was too cold.

He did enjoy walking the board walk and geocaching with Mom and Dad.


While on vacation he perfected going from crawling to sitting as well as pulling himself up. This I believe is his real motivation to crawl is just to get places where he can stand and cruise around the furniture.

Even though the summer has been cool corn on the cob is in season, and we had some delicious local stuff for dinner tonight. As I was cutting more off the cob for NB, he let me know that he wanted the cob (Mr. Independent, and I want to be like you). So I thought why not let him try, he will probably quickly tire of the cob. Boy was I wrong.
