Getting ready for camping

So we haven’t gone camping since 2005.  Once in awhile I’ll come across some of our camping gear and reminisce, or make a trip out to MEC to check out some “clothes for baby”

Over Christmas as I was pondering what to get for Erica, I came across a kids tent in a flyer.  I remember that I loved to play in enclosed spaces- a big box for example, and I figured this is something she would like that doesn’t need batteries.  And of course, when we go camping for real, she’d be acclimatized to staying in a tent.  So I bought her 2 tents with a connecting tunnel. 

I also forgot another fact- cats like enclosed spaces too…  🙂

One “negative” (from Mocha’s point of view) about Erica’s newfound mobility is that he’s now an interesting thing to chase around.

She’s gotten the hang of going up, but coming down is another matter… hasn’t quite figured out gravity yet…

Erica at lunchtime

Here’s another video of her drinking milk from a sippy cup and eating a sandwich- showing independance and improving motor skills, and we’re just glad she’s able to feed herself.  Next step is to train her to open the fridge to make her own sandwiches…
