Cake!

I don't mind helping, but...

... I prefer eating.

I'm not fussy, I'm happy to use my hands or...

... fork. Either way is messy!

For no particular reason, except it was Mommy's first day off, we baked a cake. We hadn't had cake since my birthday so it was a real treat. I LOVE cake!

Random Pics

The one time I actually want my helmet on & it's not necessary!

Backpack!

Into Daddy's hair cream.

Always the gentleman, Alex lets Josie take the wheel.

House construction begins!

Our builder has started on our new house! The first week of January saw our 'hole' being dug & as of last week, the foundation has been poured. By the time we get out to Cochrane again, the framing should be done. We are all very excited. Mom is especially excited to be done with all the house appointments! Now, we wait until July to see the finished product.

Busy Day

I went very fast on my horse.

I think it's funny when I flip forward... only because Mom or Dad is there to catch me, otherwise it would hurt and there would be tears.

Crazy cowboy.

Falling asleep way too late in the afternoon watching Elmo.

Fighting to stay awake after waking up from my nap & having a snack.

I had my first gymnastics class today which was very exciting. I loved being back singing songs, playing and learning new things. Mommy, however, was not impressed. Two classes of toddlers have been combined making things very busy & very crazy. Mommy hopes that she will be working most classes so Daddy has to take me. I was very wired at class and it continued at home. I would not nap in the afternoon and became increasingly more wired. Mom & Dad thought it was funny at first but then felt bad after several nap attempts. Daddy thought I would settle down with an Elmo DVD & I did. Mom hopes I sleep well tonight as I would not eat dinner & had such a topsy turvy day. Last night I woke up crying & wanted to go into Mom & Dad's bed. There I had a coughing fit until I vomited. Mom does not want another night like that!!

Big brother

Here is the first picture of my little brother or sister! We call him/her Niblet as that is the name the ultrasound technician used & we love it. Niblet measured 21.1mm which puts Mommy at 8 weeks and 5 days, as of yesterday. The heart rate was good at 163bpm... the same as mine when I had my first picture at 10 weeks! Mom is sure it is a boy, Dad thinks it's a girl but we will have to wait until the big day to find out.

Christmas Day

My own firetruck!

What can it be?!

I could have played with my stocking contents all day!

All for me?

Me & Granpa Gus with our respective bottles on the stool.

We had a very special Christmas with Baba & Granpa Gus. I must have been a very good boy because I received lots of very nice presents! We relaxed all day and then went to Uncle Byron & Auntie Liping's for dinner... yum!!

That was the end of enjoying the holidas for Mommy as she developed really bad morning sickness. Luckily, she had lots of family around to help out with me! On Sunday, Mamie & Papie arrived from Quebec. I loved having both my granparents here. We all wish we lived in the same place!

Chistmas Eve Day

I had a nice morning with Josie & her Mom & Dad. We ate lots of treats & played with each other's gifts. Josie gave me a train that goes very fast! We loved watching it go round & round.

Baba & Granpa Gus arrived later in the afternoon which was very exciting!
