Year one movie

Well here it is folks, a movie of the first year of his life!!!
In the making SO many things come racing to mind like...
He was SO tiny and oh I miss when he slept all day! he doesn't even look like the same kid anymore, he's grown up SO much! Somewhere along the way his hair lightened, and he became this little ginger with a big voice and he's running around with teeth and a smirk, getting into whatever he can get his tiny hands on! and it also re-affirms, I definatly have to do this baby thing again!

Well my loves... enjoy

SO... I tried for a while to figure out why I couldn't upload it from my computer to this blog, but I'm just not tech saavy so here is the link to it when I posted it on facebook! enjoy

Where's the pause button?

As time races by I have come to the realization that giving birth to our son was like giving birth to my heart. He is my heart, burst wide open and I have to watch him struggle to communicate his needs and wants, I have to watch him learn things the hard way like pinching his fingers in the drawers and opening the door into his face. It's a scary thing to watch but so amazing to see how fast he learns what NOT to do.
And what seemed like all at once, he started signing more, all done, and milk. He started taking steps all by himself, 2, then 4 and now across the room. He figured that the remote changes the TV, and daddy jumps! The phone is held to your head while you blab, and he looks behind the computer when we skype, he wants to know where the rest of the person is. He's mimicking faces and expressions, and most recently he's become the entertainer! Flexing his muscles, smiling and waving, clapping blowing kisses and making funny faces, anything to have a captive audience! He amazes me every day, and a year ago today I gave birth to him. From helpless to an independent little funny boy. He is my sunshine, the sand between my toes, the first whiff of my morning coffee, the ice-cream on my pie and the cream cheese icing on my cupcake. He is my heart and we are SO blessed to be his parents

Happy birthday my boy, feliz cumpleaños mi nene

I can't wait to see what adventures you have in store for us!

Standing tall

So the boy has been standing independently for some time now, maybe 5 weeks, but I would now say that he's a sturdy stander! He can push himself up from the ground and stand by himself for a few minutes, AND shake his maracas! stay tuned for news of his first steps!!!

The Fam Jam in Edmonton!

Mama, Kayla and I took a short road trip to Edmonton. I was a little cranky so Kayla sang me songs and helped me go to sleep! Jasper was an awesome big cousin, sharing his toys, pushing me in the swing at the park and we played lots of peek a boo. We were there just long enough to catch a snuggle with Aunty Joy, My great Aunty Lala & uncle Andy and even caught a quick visit with my Aunty Amanda (dad's sister!)

Lookin' good!

This hat was given to us and before I realized it sadly it don't fit.... But smart mama took out a few tiny stitches and snipped the elastic so it fits! Ain't he cute?

My cup runneth over

I can't describe in words how blessed I feel to have a happy healthy boy who makes me giggle every day! I went to dinner with my sister from another mister, Amanda. We were in a crowded and loud sushi restaurant and he decided " I'm just gonna have a nap now" so he did. What a treat!!!!! This boy is always so busy making a mess of my house, eating paper, pulling on the dogs ears and banging on everything, too busy for 5 seconds of snuggling, but yesterday... I had the pleasure of snuggling him while he slept through hustle & bustle & I even chowed down some kick ass sushi! And my boobies look great!
Thanks kiddo, I owe you one!
BLESSED am I, my cup runneth over

The face of trouble!

Cutest face ever!
