Kailas' Blog: March 2009

Hiya Everyone!

Sorry it has taken me soooooooo long to update, but it takes a while to get settled! Mommy, Einstein and myself have now joined Daddy in Vancouver from Winnipeg. We arrived on February 3rd, right before Daddy's birthday. I did well on the plane, I slept through most of it. Nani and Nana Kauldher came with us on the plane and Nani stayed for 2 weeks to help Mommy out. Nana stayed for a few days and then headed to India with his Daddy, Great-Grandpa Kauldher for a month. Daddy grabbed me as soon as he saw me and I just stared and stared at him. I really missed him after a whole month. Einstein also flew with us on the plane in cargo. He seemed scared when we got him, but he got over that quickly when he saw Daddy!!!

We live on Gilpin Street in Burnaby. We are renting a cute 3 (so we have room for visitors) bedroom house with a HUGE backyard. Einstein loves it, and I am sure I will too! I have my own room that is decorated with all my favourite jungle animals. We live close to most of my cousins, with the furthest one living half an hour away.I see them at least once a week and we have tons of fun playing! I have a new cousin coming in May, so I won't be the youngest for too long.(My cousin Shaq is missing in this pic- will try to get a picture with him next time!)

Mommy and I have been taking the bus and have been going to the mall (YAWN!!! I sleep through that) as well as a play group called "Wee Play Together". I am the youngest in the group and enjoy looking around at all the action. Mommy gets to talk and visit with the other moms there, so I think she loves playgroup more than I do! We plan to go to infant story time at the library and swimming at the Tot pool in the next few weeks. We have also joined the Schnauzer Club of Vancouver with Einstein. Einstein had his first play date last Sunday, there were 6 standard schnauzers (like Einstein) and 5 mini's. This is the first of many play dates for him. He had a blast and was tired for 2 days after!

All the other schnauzer parents commented on Einstein's speed and playfulness. Mommy had me in the Baby Bjorn at the dog park and of course I slept through most of it.

Life has been fun in BC, even met a celebrity- The Cat in the Hat! My days are slowly following into a routine with naps, story time, walks and tummy time. I am laughing like crazy, smiling and talking non-stop. I can hold up my head and grab on to objects with both hands (especially Mommy's hair) and I even pinch! I am around 28 inches 15-16 pounds. Daddy plans to defend his PhD in a a month or so, that means I hope to be back in the prairies for a visit soon! Daddy really likes his job. He is already running experiments. We plan to take the skytrain and meet him for lunch one day. Mommy is doing Hot Yoga with my Aunties a few times a week and hopes to join the gym. She has applied for her BC teaching license and will look for jobs in the late spring. I hope everyone is doing well and we miss all of you!
