Just a few of pictures of our little ladybug’s first Halloween )

Our scaaaaary pumpkins!

Having a great time at the Halloween party

Everyting into the mouth!

A couple of cute bugs were there

Couldn’t leave the doggies out!

 Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween with plenty of leftover candy! We can’t wait until next year’s costume: Ava = ELVIS

Thank you…thank you very much )

Gatineau Park is incredible this time of year! I love fall!

And I hate to bore you with more pictures of my kid but…look how cute she is up in the tree!

Don’t worry…I held her in place. She only climbed up by herself )

“Seriously…is there a leaf on my head?”

Happy she doesn’t have to rake.

We picked up this great little CD at a baby show a couple of weeks ago. It’s a compilation of popular kid’s songs on one CD by Name Your Tune (a Canadian company BTW). What makes this CD special is that it is made to order with your kid’s name sung in the songs!

Ava approved!

Now, I’m not usually in the habit of hawking products but Ava’s reaction when she listens to the CD is amazing. This isn’t one of those really annoying kid’s CD’s that drives you nuts after a few listens. It’s produced very well and Ava just loves it! Her little face lights up when she hears her name and she knows the songs when we sing them to her!

To get your kid’s this great CD click HERE and head to the Name Your Tune homepage.

Have a listen to a sample:[audio:http://qml.quiettouch.com/files/radio/1053kiss/hello.mp3]

Here’s a couple of shots of Ava on her 6 month birthday. I swear she does stuff just to make Erin and I laugh!

I can’t wait to see what the next six months brings!

It’s an amazing thing to have a human being grow up before your eyes.

Happy 5-month birthday, sweetheart )

Awwww…so CUTE!

Who doesn’t want a cheetah now? I’m sure it’s great when they’re small but it could be a problem when they grow up and eat your dog.

Rice cereal is hardly what you and I would consider ‘solid’ but to a person who’s been eating nothing but liquid, it’s like steak and potatoes!

First taste…

I think she likes it!

Gimme that spoon!

I think she got more on her shirt than in her belly.

And the after-meal coma.

I can’t help it. I need help. I have “proud-papa-itis”. Check these out )

She’s not a fan of hats

Tricky…very tricky!

DJ in training

Ava the beautiful!

Someone really should have told me that having a kid was this much fun years ago! We could have had seven or eight by now!

Thanks for putting up with my “proud-papa-itis” )

Ava recently had her first professional photo shoot and being the proud papa I am, I just have to share them with you! Oh, I just wanna squeeze her )

Dontcha just want to pinch those cheeks?

Igor from Canadian Baby Photographs did an incredible job! He was  calm, cool, professional and most importantly…he was good with Ava.

Boy-o-boy, the grandparents are gonna FLIP OUT when they see these pictures!

“Get that camera outta my face!”

“Oh daddy…you’re my hero! Now, change my poopy diaper.”

The coolest 6 week old EVER!
