Sledding

Chippy went for his first sled ride. He was so bundled up that he kept tipping over; however, a good time was had by all! :)

Christmas #3

Christmas #3 was at Aunt Ruthie and Uncle Fred's house. All the Aunties were generous with gifts, and Tracey gave my dad a nice picture of me and my family; however, it was Aunt Ruthie who stole the show with a leather 'Cars' jacket!!!

Christmas #2

Christmas #2 was at Grammy & Grampa's house. I ate my first cardamom wreath and tried lots of different cheeses. My favourite gifts were a 'street cred' shirt from Uncle Pete, colourful blocks from Grammy & Grandpa, books from Aunt Elaine & Uncle Dave, and an old coin from Great Grandpa.

Christmas #1

Christmas #1 was at Aunt Lorri & Uncle Marc's house. The WHOLE house was Christmas, complete with dancing snowmen and overstuffed stockings!! My favourite gifts included a whisk (purchased only after I absconded with Lorri's), a train set from Lorri & Marc, PJ's from Great Nana, and Dr. Zeuss books from Bubba & Gampy. Mom and Dad gave me slippers!?

My First Car

Bean gave Chippy this car for Christmas and he love, love, LOVES it!! It was late when we got home, but we chased Dunning around the house with it and he giggled like I'd never heard him before. Too funny!!!

Chippers & Beans

Chippy & Bean met for the first time tonight. Bean is pretending to be asleep in Grammy's arms while Chippy is being restrained by Mommy. I think everyone was excited to meet!

The Game

Here's my dad and I watching the best football team ever last Sunday. Even though we really, really sucked for the first three quarters of the game ... I knew we'd win!

Snow Day

We don't have much snow compared to other parts of the Province, but we went outside this morning to enjoy what we did have. Dunning, mommy and Isaac spent about a half hour playing in the snow. It's our first time walking around in the back yard.

Nick?

(Yesterday) Daddy thought there was a bit of a resemblance when Chippy was done his supper tonight!

It's All Fun And Games...

(Friday post) Chippy was amusing himself today with one of his other favourite things. Mommy was occupying herself with cleaning diapers in the sink when the little guy managed to drench himself with the bidet. He has figured out the handles and this has started to happen on a more frequent basis while his bath is being readied.

Baby Better?

(Thursday post) So, just when we thought Chippy was feeling better, he goes and gets a rash all over his body and starts to get a bit fussy. He had his 1 year dr. appointment this morning so we asked them about it. They're concerned that he may have a penicillin allergy, so he's off those meds and onto some new ones. He was in better spirits tonight (after having slept 6 hours today!!).

So, our stats for the day are:

Head: 50 cm
Weight: 9.85kg
Height: 78 cm (?? - will double check in Jan)

Lucky boy didn't have to get any of his shots today since he isn't feeling good so we'll be back in the middle of January!

Bubba & Gampy

(Wednesday's Post) Looks like Bubba and Gampy were having a good time with Chippy while mommy was at work. Their initial job was to take him to daycare this week, but that was changed to full time babysitters after the little guy got sick! Daddy will be home tomorrow so Bubba and Gampy will be going home.

Baby Better!

Chippy is getting back to his normal self. Still sticking close to people, but is playing again! Having fun being babysat by Bubba and Gampy. Listening to gregorian chants and Jacques Loussier!

My Poor Baby

Poor baby wasn't feeling well at all today. He has been sick for a few weeks now, but he slept for most of the past 24 hours and by this afternoon he had no energy and his fever was 40.3. So, off to Hotel Dieu we went. They took him right in and kept him for a few hours monitoring his fever and giving him a chest x-ray. (Side note - never get a chest x-ray for a baby if you can help it! They put him in a horrible contraption with his hands stuck up in the air. He hated it!) We now have some antibiotics and are back to sleep feeling a bit better. Something about December 12th. 2 for 2 we've been in the hospital!! Hopefully this doesn't become a habit.

Quilt

Here I am playing with my new Anjie quilt! It is soft soft soft on the inside and lots of neat pictures on the outside! Thanks Anjie!

Daycare Party!

Daycare had their party on Saturday. Chippy showed us around his daytime home ... lots of toys and space to play! He mostly played with his favourite toy - a 'lawnmower' with alligator heads that chomp up and down. We gave Tuile a scary monster puppet and Chippy got a drum toy (that the other kids promptly took to play with!).

My Birthday Party

Happy Birthday To ME (Friday)!!! We had decorations, gifts, toys, and a whole cake for me! The cake was 'healthy' and the icing was 'unhealthy' ... so I dumped the cake over and just ate the cake. Mommy and daddy gave me a fuzzy puppet and a wiggly worm. Bubba and Gampy gave me books!

Since it was my birthday, I thought I wiould start clapping!!!!!!

Last Day of Zero

Today is my last day of being zero. Nothing much changed ... ate a lot ... still enjoying my bath ... two poos!

Not Getting Up

This morning the boy was not getting up! I turned the light on, talked to him, got his clothes out and he still kept snoring. Not a happy camper when I finally woke him up.

Oh Christmas Tree

(Wednesday Post) Today I put up the Christmas tree. Well, I directed it coming into the house, and then I went to sleep. But it sure looked great when I got up this morning! :)

I'm Famous!

My picture is on the internet - on a NATIONAL newspaper site!! :)
