Mommy and Molly’s Cape Breton Adventures

Well, we’re back from our trip to Cape Breton and we had lots of fun. We didn’t really have a definite timeline when we left and we ended up staying 13 whole days. It was very relaxing and other than missing Daddy, life was grand.

Molly continued life at a feverish pace in Cape Breton. She got another tooth (that makes seven), she learned how to crawl properly (thanks to the carpet at Grandma’s), she’s perfected how to drink from a sippy cup, she tried lots of new foods (toast, ice cream, and chocolate cupcakes to name a few), she celebrated her very first Valentine’s Day, she had her first pyjamas party/sleepover, and she learned how to wave bye-bye.

Our favourite part of the trip was chilling with Grandma and Grandpa, but we also enjoyed hanging out with all Molly’s Cape Breton cousins (Danielle, Meghan, Janelle, Chelsey and Bailey), as well as her Uncle Claude, Tante Kendra, Uncle Blaire and Auntie Muriel. We can’t wait to come back in the summer and sink our toes in the sand at Point Michaud!!

That’s all for now. Hope you enjoy all the pictures we took (see below).
