8 months

Here I am doing another monthly post on my baby! Gosh.

He is definitely a mover! Not in the traditional crawling but this cute little Army crawl using one arm and one leg. He can get where he wants to be though! Its adorable! Nothing is safe, so Sean is finding.

LOVES LOVES LOVES food. I mean seriously. When these boys are teenagers I'm worried. That food bill is going to rise for sure! He loves everything. The faster it goes in his mouth the better too. haha.

Man does this little Boy just LOVE his big brother. So happy to see Sean in the morning when they both wake up! Just adores it when Sean plays with him. He tries to show his affection by eating Sean and pulling his hair. Sean is so patient and loving about it all though.

This little guy also LOVES his daddy. It's pretty sweet. Loves cuddling up to Dad in bed and having Dad throw him in the air. Little Daddy's boy.

Still likes to wake up once a night. Typically between 4 and 5:30. So he goes back to sleep after. Little stink.

Max is just the greatest, happiest, loudest boy ever! I love watching him grow! Even if he is doing it to fast.

Doesn't sit still very long anymore!

This is such a Max face. For being such a happy baby this is as close to a smile as I can ever catch on Camera. He smiles and looks away typically!

Thanksgiving 2015

Another good year with lots of good food and company again. 

We started the long weekend off by having a bonfire at Papa & GG's. Sean was in heaven. He loves those guys! And being outside. And hot dogs. So this was practically two year old heaven. 

Such a good time. We even got to burn this bench. Which Greg and Phoenix had a grand old time seeing who could be the last to sit on it. Not sure who won. 

Sunday was the day of thanksgiving food for us. I even had to cook the turkey. It turned out quite well with a little help from Greg! Everyone brought delicious food and we all ate way to much. But it was so worth it. :) 

The kids played downstairs fairly well this time. Normally they all come running up and making noise where we all are. They did well this year though! We all mostly visited but we did manage to play a game. After everyone left the rest of us were all super exciting and went to sleep! Let's face it we were all wiped! 

It was a good thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for! 

Fall Days

Just a picture upload of these sweet little boys I get to hang out with everyday all day!

This little man LOVES slides. 

and rocks

always with the rocks

He likes helping Max go down the slide and enjoy it as much as he does

My swinging babies

Just a bit of attitude. Probably because I didn't push him high enough!

reaching out to try and grab my face/camera

perfection!

Bring back some childhood memories?

the higher he goes the bigger the smile

Helping his brother out!

Letting Dad push him

This was just after Sean jumped down because Max would try to eat him when Sean sat next to him

Loving food, and splashing his sippy cup around!

Two naked cute lil boys have a bath. :) Look at Max's ROLLS!!!

I love them!!

A Good Day

Today was just one of those days that I would say was perfect! 

We woke up to sunshine and 2 super happy boys. Sean decided we needed French toast for breakfast so that's what we made. Then we loaded up the boys and went to the park and just let them play and swing! Sean loved it. 

 Then we walked around and found a garage sale and Sean got a free bat. ) that kid gets so many free things it's crazy!! Max had a lovely nap in the stroller. So he was ready to party when we got home. We did a few little things and then sat in the back yard on the new grass and had a pizza picnic. It was wonderful just being able to sit and hang out together. 

Max got another nap while we cleaned out the camper and garage. I should be able to finally park in the garage! We filled up Sean's pool and let him play while we worked. He enjoyed that. As long as we stayed with him. Silly kid. I can't wait for the day Max and Sean will play with each other and give me even more freedom!!! 

See what I mean though?? Today was a good day. Makes me happy inside and feel so recharged! Ending the day with a little brother bear! :)

7 months! Where is the time going??

WHOA! Slow down lil man! Somehow I kinda forgot he would be 7 months. I was still just saying, "Oh he's 6 months old". Gulp. He's seven months! YIKES!

I love this kid more and more each day! Especially now that we have seemed to figure out a nice routine that results in full nights sleep again! He is also my child that will have nothing to do with store bought puree's. He wants what we're having. He doesn't care if I blend it but he wants the good stuff! Smart kid.

We went to his 6month immunizations a week ago and he was a whooping 19lbs and 14oz. At the rate he's going... He's 20lbs by now. The skinny lil chunk! Seriously he is the longest baby ever!!! He's also at the stage where he gets grumpy on his belly/back/butt because he can't quite crawl. He's SOOOOOO close he has no idea. It makes me laugh watching him roll and wiggle and plank and get so close!! One day one day.

He speaks. Says. mama mama mama ALL DAY LONG! and laughs and screams and babbles other nonsense just because he likes the sound of his own voice I'm sure! He is the happiest kid! So easy to make him laugh and smile! So easy! (Except when taking pictures. Then he's like a stone wall.)  He just loves everything!

The bald spot on the back on his head is finally growing in. And it's brown! haha Looks like he'll be my dark baby! Poor Sean. haha Speaking of Sean. Those two boys of mine are the best friends EVER! The play so well and Sean helps Max out a lot. It just melts my heart. Ya they still tease and bug each other but happily. and mostly Sean. Max just tries to eat him. haha.

He has an appointment up in Calgary at the end of the month for them to re-evaluate/check up on him. I think they will be pleased.. :) I know I am. I'm so proud of this kid and all that he is doing! We should know more about Palate surgery after this check up I think. Probably still around the year mark.

Love this Kid!!! :)

Another new adventure!

Yes that is our house here in Vulcan. Some of you may have heard rumors of this and others nothing at all. The truth of the matter we were trying to keep it hush hush until we knew everything our selves. 

Dan got another sales job out in Fort Macleod. He starts October 1!!

The housing market is pretty slow here in Vulcan so we figured we'd get a jump start by gettin it on the market a soon as we can. Don't worry, we're not moving until the house sells. Dan may have a longer commute until then. Well and once he finally moves out to Fort Macleod we are looking at buying a house in West Lethbridge. 

So that's our big adventure. It all seems like a mess right now still but everything is falling into place. Slowly.... But surely. 

We're going to miss Vulcan and all the friends we've made in the time we've been here. Just don't write us off yet because we are still here!!!! 

:)

6 months!

My little Max man is 6 months old!

He's growing up super fast!

Faster than Sean.

At six months he:

• Is so close to crawling he gets quite grumpy that he can't.
• eating solids but can't make up his mind what he likes besides rice cereal.
• really loves his bottles.
• not sleeping through the night anymore. wakes up anywhere between 2-6 for another bottle and then he's back to sleep till about 7:30.
• He's huge. this is the longest baby EVER! he hits a new month marker and instantly he outgrows the clothes he was wearing a week ago. Insane.
• LOVE LOVE LOVES Sean. The two of them are best buds!
• LOVES his jolly jumper. I leave him in there for what seems like hours at a time! Crazy child!
