NO, mine !
Hello lovelies,
Well I'll start off by apologizing for not posting on a more regular basis, not that anyone seems to mind. Things have been busy as usual and just when I thought things couldn't be busier, Toronto just had it's first snowfall. This powdery white stuff should slow down things a bit and also means that I get to put on all my winter gear and play outside!
I've also started a new daycare and have the pleasure of sharing it with my friend Nigel, son of my Uncle Marty and Aunt Bee. Dad and Uncle Marty have been good friends since highschool and never thought they would see the day when their son's were in the same daycare, let alone neighbourhood. I also get to see Nigel's big sister, the lovely Sarita on a regular basis. Our two families couldn't be more happy about the arrangement.
Before the snow came, our family made a trip to High Park to take in the last of the fall colours. Below are some pics of myself and mom playing on the equipment.
In terms of more formal developments I've been told that I'm in the midst of a significant growth spurt. Counters and tables are closer then they appear and much of my clothing is getting tight or ill fitting. I'm also in an incredibly frustrating period with my speech and expressions of need and wants. I've been having more tantrums lately, simply because I'm finding it very difficult to communicate. Bottom line-the words just aren't there yet. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I talk up a storm but it is still baby gibberish. The folks have been great about it and patient too, in no rush to hear me say, " Can I have the keys to the car?"
I have however picked up an interesting expression that I've been putting to good use. Some of you may recognize it, " NO, mine!"
The other day when Dad came to pick me up at Daycare, one of the other kids named William approached my Dad to check out his flashing bike light. I quickly ran over and indicated,"No, Mine!" so that William understood who's Daddy he belonged to.
Ahhhh, the lexicon of love!
Take Care everyone. Pics of the first snowfall to follow.

Halloween and other stuff
Hi everyone,
I am sad to report that we didn't end up going trick or treating this year. By the time Jonah got home from Kiki's that night ( Where he dressed up for an afternoon party with the kids) none of us had the energy to go out. However, since it was so nice and warm that night, we tried to dress Jonah up to take some pictures but he refused! Apparently Kiki, his daycare worker took pictures of the kids earlier on in the day but we'll have to wait on those ones.
So instead of him in his monkey suit ( courtesy of R&R) here is a totally goofy shot of Jonah wearing my chucks in his pajamas. I love how his hair looks and it just all goes with the facial expression he's making, I mean the super 'fro is just classic. What a little dude!
And speaking of hair, I'd been growing my facial hair for weeks in prep for my Halloween costume as a Nordic Viking. I've shaved since but I think I may go for it and grow a big old beard for Winter time.
In other news, our brave Nana has gone back up to the arctic again to complete her research. On last report, she emailed us that she is safe and sound in Iqualuit, despite the boredom and is heading to Pangnirtung very soon. We'll keep you updated as her adventure unfolds.
Crossing our fingers that Jonah will pose in his costume.
Want to remind you to take a moment and add you name to our 'follower' gadget on the blog's right hand corner so we can see who is visiting our little site!
Take Care everyone and have an awesome weekend.

Hey HO, let's GO!
I hope you like the new look of my blog. I was getting tired of the other template and wanted to change things a little to mirror the changes going on with the seasons. I've also added a new 'gadget' to my blog to track 'followers' which enables me to know who visits here on a regular basis. Take a few moments to sign yourself up. It's only a click motion away.
UPDATES
That Cat oh, that kind of cat...
I know it seems like all I do is update you on my developments but recently some funny things have been going on. First of all, I have become absolutely obsessed with Sadie, our cat. Before, it was always a casual thing but lately, she's the first 'person' I want to see when I get home and I'm prone to chasing her, petting and generally annoying her ALL THE TIME.
She certainly enjoys the attention but I've noticed that she positions herself in corners of the house to keep a clear boundary between us. She's just too cute and I'll even lay my head on her back in hopes of a cuddle. All you have to say is, " Kitty, kitty, kitty " ( I pronounce it, " KID-EH, KID-EH, KID-EH " spoken really fast ) and I'll come running to find her.
JONAH & The Wail...
So while my parents wait patiently for me to start talking, I've gotten back into the habit of wailing. I suppose it's my version of the good ole tantrum but I have a real aptitude for high pitched screaming. Of course, this annoys the parents 'cause as much as they teach me sign language, I seem to get my point across quicker with a good old scream. These things too shall pass, non?
Take a stroll...
Right so the other day mom bought me a stroller for my baby Jasper. I literally pushed this thing around the house and into Sadie and furniture for a good hour. I wouldn't go up for a diaper change without it and Mom and Dad had to hide the darn thing to get me to chill out. I suppose I'm just in a rush to do grown up stuff although I've been told to enjoy my youth while I have it.
Well that is all folks!
Have a great weekend and we'll see you next week.

Last Days of Fall
Greetings,
As the last days of Fall slip away, I've been doing my best to keep busy and active. As the leaves turn brilliant colors, I too am changing and growing up. My how time flies.
What's New
Everyone knows by now that I have an awesome appetite but did you know that I can feed myself? And who needs a high chair, that's baby stuff!
Okay, I admit it, I love the telly. I try to watch it in moderation but honestly, nothing suits me better then curling up with a big blanket and watching Cornation Street before bedtime.
Me and the parentals are always on the look out for new parks for me to play in. We recently found one near the hospital I was born in. Mom decided to take me for a spin in a big old car and she doesn't even have a licence.
Here is a very cool action picture of me going down a big slide. I'm still amazed at how Mom managed to capture me in perfect motion.
I recently got a big plastic kitchen for my back deck. It has a microwave, cooker and fridge. Here I am, contemplating the shape of a donut. Once it starts to get cold, we'll move it all down to the basement. Good times!
Hope you too are enjoying these last days of Fall!

Like a chicken...
Hello dear friends and family,
It's now been over a month since I last posted on the blog. As I mentioned the family and I have been quite busy. So much interesting stuff has been happening that I'm not sure where to begin.
Perhaps I'll start by saying, I LOVE YOU to my Savta and Sabba who recently stayed with us for three weeks. We all had a truly lovely and action packed visit. I really enjoyed getting to know them better and they got to see me at my 'toddling' best. I also truly valued the time we spent together eating, playing, sitting on the couch and driving around the city. We went to High Park, Toronto Island, Riverdale Farm, Distillery District, the Beaches and on a day trip to Guelph. We played in the park, went for long walks and ate in all the fancy restaurants and cafe's along the Danforth.
*P.S. I'm happy to report that they are back safe and sound in the UK. WE MISS YOU and can't wait to see you next year! ;.)
In other news, Mom and Dad recently attended Ryan and Racheal's wedding ( don't my parents clean up nice?) From what I hear it was a lovely affair with an original and heartfelt ceremony followed by a laid back yet classy reception with yummy food and drink. I really wish I could have been there to celebrate.
All of us at JD blog, wish the newly weds peace, love and happiness with a little granola thrown in for good luck!
Well that is it for now folks.
See you soon.
Love Djangy
