Swimming

Ayla has been taken weekly swimming lessons. The lessons are short, 20-30 minutes each to suit her and her lesson mates' attention span, and are mostly composed of games in the water with mommies. Ayla is a very astute student, and enjoys the games and dances very much.

More Ayla Standing

Ayla can almost stand without support! occasionaly she does it for a few seconds, and she is showing more and more interest in doing so. She can already stand with minimal support, and walk along furnitures. She is very curious about her own capabilities, and is eager to learn new abilities all the time, which keeps her parents very occupied with her. Here are a few pictures of her standing with minimal support:

Dancing with daddy

Last weekend was Canadian thanksgiving. We all dressed up and had a very nice thanksgiving dinner with Mike, Dorota and Ola. Afterwards we put on some Salsa music, and danced a bit. Ayla had a nice time dancing with her daddy.
Last Tuesday we were invited to a Simchat Beit HaShoeva party, which was held at the house of one of the richest person in town. Ayla had a great time. She fell asleep on the way over, and woke up to find some babies her age, and lots of excitement. She was very sweet and received lots of compliments by everyone who saw her. Her father made some great connections, which hopefully would lead to some job offers. We all were celebrately dressed for the occasion and enjoyed making new friends in the jewish community

Ayla in Edmonton

Amir has finally arrived in Edmonton, and was gladly rejoined with Ayla and Ania. The reunited family is now settling in in the cold city, and enjoying each other's company.
The digital camera was unfortunately lost recently, it might still be recovered, but for now, it will be difficult to get some pics out. These are a couple we did get to take with Ania's dad camera.

	Ayla loves to climb stairs now. And since we sleep in the basement, there are many stairs for her to climb. We installed a baby gate to make sure she doesn't go on them without close support and supervision. But when we are there to make sure she doesnt fall, she has a great time and climbs them with increasing proficiency
