And the party continues

And the party continues….Today with daddy’s side of the family. In the picture R is wearing her new head-gear (for lack of better term) from us. The one grandma and grandpa brought her from Egypt is slowly falling apart, so we decided to get her a new one to play with as well. She loves it because she loves the swishy-long-bead/hair part.

Anyways. We all went out for supper, then came back to our place for cupcakes. Of course R wanted to open her presents first. She got a great Encyclopedia of animals from Oma and Opa, and a diary with a lock from Auntie V & Uncle B. She desparately wanted a lockable diary. Why you ask? Ok, I asked why. She replied “So J can’t read it”…hahaah! I didn’t bother with the “He-is-only-now-learning-to-walk-so-he-likely-won’t-be-reading-for-a-while” speech…
Anyways. Here is the proof of how much she loves it, the cupcakes were put in front of her, candles lit, and she continues to write in her new diary (with her arm to protect her privacy no less).

I convinced her that maybe she should put the diary down and listen to us sing Happy Birthday. Then she said the sweetest thing, “I want Z (cousin) to blow the candles out with me”. Awww!

Small boy also enjoyed his cupcake as you can see.

My baby is 7…

I can hardly believe it. I didn’t give her permission to grow this big…ahhh. She was in our bed overnight, and sort of tickling/touching me lightly for quite a while this morning before I was annoyed enough to open my eyes…I pried them open and gave her her first present, some new clothes (as she’s outgrowing everything in length). She was so exicted the whole day it was hard to keep her occupied! Her party with friends was late afternoon. They went skating, then had snacks and cupcakes. Daddy and I are just exhausted, but everything went really well! I’ll try to get pics up soon.

It wiggles no more…

Yup, my big girl lost another tooth. It seems it was overnight, so we can’t find it…she was ok with that, and not keen to “look for it” 🙂

What’s that about?

Small boy has been doing this recently. He crawls around, then just lies down and rolls over. Sort of like a dog I guess?!

Fish lips

For some reason Small boy is making this face lately. I don’t know why, but it is just super cute.

How cute is this??

This is J’s little buddy at church. She is just a few days older than him. J was sitting on the floor and she just walked over and sat down beside him…..too sweet!

Like sniffing glue…

Except without all that brain damage. I got my fix today. J had a nice bath, full body wash down with Aveeno, and mummy got a nice sniff fix of him as I gave him his bottle.

Small boy update

I realize I haven’t updated everyone on J (aka Small boy)’s progress. He is certainly gaining confidence. The physio remarked the other day at therapy that he seem a lot more sturdy, confident even. This was Monday, and I was telling her how he would stand with the walker, but not actually walk with the walker. Well the next day I got him to walk with the skate thingy. (thing you use on ice to learn to skate) My friend E looked at me in horror when I told her I was using this for J as a walker, until I told her that I did put those furniture glides on the bottom first! She was worried about our wood floors. Anyways. He actually walked across the kitchen, mostly pushing all by himself! What’s more he did it again later with R moving the support on him! He’s not doing it all the time, but he certainly is wanting to stand/walk with support more than crawling. So today he’d push the skate thingy to the fridge, then transfer to lean on the fridge and throw all the magnets on the floor…progress!

What a wonderful daughter…

What a sweetie eh?? She cheers me right up.

Round 3, or is it 4??

Yup, we are all sick yet again. I can’t even keep track of how much we’ve been sick since mid January. Now daddy has stomach issues, R is running a fever, J is teething, and just not content, and I feel like I’ve been run over by a big truck. Not only that, but it seems I can’t sleep. I finally decided that I might be tired enough at 12am to sleep, and at 12:02 am I was off to comfort R who was crying. I got her settled, and with a book I was ready to sit in her room until she fell asleep when I heard J crying. So off I went to comfort him. I finally snuck out of his room at 12:29am, when R was back at it. So I was back in her room for about 15 minutes until I heard J crying again. Sigh. While i was in with him, R was up again, and daddy relented and said she could come to our bed. Well, it seems she also has some sort of insomnia going. Just as I was about to drift off, she touched me, and I jerked awake. This went on for about 1/2 hr, then I just decided to get up. And here I am, blogging at 2:14am. Nasty. I think tomorrow will also be nasty with all of us being sleep deprived…
