Cottage weekend

We decided to go up to the cottage on Friday night till Sunday afternoon. The drive up was prety slow so we stopped at Weber's for a quick burger and a backseat change and bottle feed.

When we got to the cottage it was freeeezing, so we had a nice fire and cranked up the heat. By the time Paige went to sleep her room was still freezing, but she managed ok.

Mike spent a lot of time raking the leaves...probably 4 hours or so? I tried to help as much as I could, but I had to have Paige in the Baby Bjorn, so it was a bit difficult. Raking hurts the back in usual circumstances, so it was pretty tough with a baby strapped on the front.

It was actually nice and sunny, so really quite warm.

A few times this weekend we caught Paige sitting up on her own. If she is leaning back in a sitting position on a couch, for example, she will use her little stomach muscles and fling her body forward so she is sitting up on her own. She seems to hate relying on leaning on things. "Don't prop me up!" When she sits up on her own though, she keels over to the side. Wish we had a good picture of it, but not really. The one where she is on my lap shows though that she does not like to lean back!
