Not only did we start solids today, but we also decided to take Maddy on her first trip to the Vancouver Aquarium. I received a membership to the Aquarium for Chirstmas and it's good for one year, so Maddy and I can go as many times as we'd like. It's funny how I've been to the Aquarium on many field trips with a whole class full of children, but going with Maddy seemed to be just as stressful. I'm happy to report that all my worrying proved to be for nothing and it was a great day.
We got there early and it felt like the whole city was still asleep. The roads were quiet and there was tons of parking. Little did we know that every other family with kids was also up at this time. Before Maddy was born, we just be 'thinking' about getting up at 10am. Today we were up, ate her first solids meal and driven to Stanley Park by 10.
So far Maddy liked the Beluga whales the best. I think it's because she can see them easily. The dolphins were a little too fast for her to notice as they whipped by. I look forward to taking her again when she can see the other exhibits and tanks full of fish.

What a beautiful picture from the two of you. Many more trips are coming your way maddy
What a cool picture! Mitchell's favorite part of the aquarium is Nemo, Dorie, Mr.Ray and the sharks.
