Getting so big!








So my little munchkin is in his own bed! Such a break through! After our weekend away, being held the ENTIRE time by all the family, and myself (baby bjorn is the best for taking him everywhere!)....Monday was very trying. He did not want to be put down for one second. Not even in things he usually loves, like his vibrating chair or his crib to watch his mobile. And I had a ton of laundry to do, so he screamed a lot that day. However, that night he passed out, so I put him in his crib, and that's where he slept for a good 3 hours before waking up! And each night since, he has been in his crib. I am up more because he doesn't sleep as long as when he slept with me, but it's getting better each night and I am soooo excited! He is even napping in there right now...where he went to bed awake and I snuck in to check on him and there he was, eyes rolling back and him falling asleep! AMAZING! So, my little guy is growing up. He is getting so big I asked him today what he did with my little skinny boy. He is turning into a little chunky monkey.


Speaking of growing up....AM is turning 2 on Sunday. I cannot even comprehend that. I took her to the park today and I saw a little boy who the mom said was 1 and I was thinking back to last year when she wasn't even walking yet, she had her first birthday party (we're about to have her 2nd on Sat) and she was my little muffin. Now she is growing up. It's amazing to watch. And sometimes frustrating with her terrible twos. However, she is such a doll and she gets cuter everyday!
So my two little ones are growing up before my eyes. Crazy to see.
On another note, we enjoyed our annual trip with C's family over the weekend. We didn't get to go to Penticton this year which I know there was a lot of disappointment, but it was still really fun. Different but fun. Anything is fun with his family. We spent lots of time relaxing, reading magazines, eating, drinking, playing in the water, throwing rocks in the water (AM) and just hanging out with everyone. And yesterday we visited at Grandmama's and Granddad's house with C's sis and her kids so AM could play and of course they all love to see the baby whenever they can...even if we did just spend the entire weekend together :) Oh, and the best thing about the weekend, which I didn't capture on my camera because I never had it with me on the speed boat....AM loved the boat. She wore her little lifejacket and loved it when they went faster! It was fun. She spent all spring and summer going to the beach and seeing the boats wawa (boats on the water) and she finally got to enjoy going on one...very fast. She just loved it!
