Portia Enjoying the Outdoors…

Portia has a very crabby day today.  It was hot, over 30C (almost 90F) inVancouver today, and she just does not seem to deal well with the heat, additionally, she has just reached that age where babies suddenly start having only one bowel movement a week, and today was her day, so she spent most of the day being pretty uncomfortable and gassy leading up to the “event”.

After getting home from work and taking her outside while I was watching the BBQ, she settled down quickly and her inquisitive nature returned, with a little smile on her face. She is intrigued by anything at the moment, colors and contrasts seem to interest her most. She can stare at a flower bush moving in the wind for what what seems like ages, mesmerized with this look of absolute fascination on her face. I think at this stage her brand new brain is forming little connections between its neurons as fast as it possibly can. You can almost see her learn stuff.

Lets hope she keeps this pattern up in high school!
