Happy Canada Day!!

Happy Canada Day everyone! We're heading to Slave Lake tonight after Cal gets back from his Running Room clinic and won't be home until Monday! We're looking forward to our little holiday! This week has been nice because Cal was off on Monday and now he's off until Monday again, so we've had lots of family time! This weekend we're staying with my Mom and Dad in their house - I mean 5th wheel!! LOL! It really doesn't feel like camping! Cal will be doing a lot of fishing with Dad and Dion in Dion's SWEET new boat! Hopefully they'll bring dinner home at least one night! We had our New Mom's Network yesterday and learned all about baby nutrition and when/how to start introducing solids. It should be interesting! I plan on making Blake's baby food. But, we have a few more months to wait of course! Oh, and Blake weighed in at 12 lbs 3 oz yesterday. Next week we have his 8 week check up with the Pediatrician and I changed his immunization appointment to the following week, because we are going to Grande Prairie for a family reunion the day his original appointment was scheduled. Blake is so smiley this week! I love it! He's been pretty smiley since week 1, but now you can really get him going and he even squeals sometimes!! He is also very interested in all of his surroundings. His little head turns every direction checking out everything around him! It's amazing how he's changing and maturing! I think today for the first time he noticed Jazz! He was sitting in his bouncy chair just staring at him!! Every day brings something new. But, I better go get some housework done before he wakes up from his nap. Have a fantastic long weekend and we'll talk to ya again!

Growing, Meeting Aunty Carmen, Reunion and Baby Shower - BUSY!!

Well, from the title you can see we've been busy! On Wednesday Blake weighed in at almost 12 lbs! In the evening we met Cal's sister Carmen for supper before she headed to the Tim/Faith concert. Blake is Carmen's first nephew! Then on Thursday evening Blake and I headed to the YMCA for a prenatal aquafit reunion!! It was so much fun to see everyone and their little ones or their growing bellies! Not everyone has had their baby yet. On Friday my Dad babysat while I went and got my hair done and then Cal took over while I went and got a pedicure!! It was nice to have some me time!!! Saturday was Blake's baby shower in Stony Plain. It was a great time!! My Mom and sister did a fabulous job along with help from Lesley and Carmen. My sister put together these cute favour boxes with jelly beans, candy worms and little rubber duckies!! They were so cute! Blake was supremely spoiled!! He has clothes to last him forever! LOL! So we are all doing great and next weekend we are heading to Slave Lake to camp. Blake has his 8 week checkup and his first shots after the long weekend. Hopefully that will all go good! Take care and we'll talk to ya again soon!!
