I was just thinking about how long it's been since updating this blog, and I couldn't believe that Winter has come and gone, and we are already now mid-way through Spring. The reasons for this blog are mostly to keep a record of the things that our family goes through and to keep in touch with those that are far away. This past season has been a memorable one as it was filled with lots of fun and activities. Our city hosted the Winter Olympics games and I was pleasantly surprised at how I ended up enjoying them. I loved all the different cultures getting together for one common goal and the energy on the streets were electric. We've also been busy renovating our home; it seems like an endless task but it is slowly coming together. VC has been working very hard on our backyard getting it ready for the summer bbqs by laying down some flagstones, new fencing, etc. Can't wait until it's all done and I can sip a glass of sangria on the new patio.
Noah's Update
- Age and weight: 8 months and is close to 25lbs (just 6 pounds less than A)
- Nicknames: Noey (given by A) Godzilla (because he likes to destroy A's trains), Noahsaurus (given by Auntie Lulu) and Notastic (given by daddy cause he's fantastic!)
- Started crawling in late Feb. and is now going all over the place and even climbing the stairs. He is also cruising along the sofa, too.
- is enrolled in Music Together classes with big bro and has been thoroughly enjoying the music and is the "social butterly" of the class as he goes to each person and says hello in his own way.
- Loves, loves, loves to eat, especially our food. He's been refusing to eat mush and even though he still doesn't have teeth, he's pretty good at eating noodles, Os, and small chunks of food.
- generally a happy and easy-going baby and his giggles light up my day
- Age: 3 years old
- Nicknames: Coop, bug
- Started preschool in March at Spare Time Kids World and has been enjoying going to school and learning new things
- Some of his favourite places to go to are: Aquarium and Science World
- Potty-trained when he was 2.5 years old =) but is still in diapers for night though.
- According to A, his best friends are: JM and CG
- Favourite dog: Rylee
- Favourite bird: owl
- Favourite colours: red and blue
- Favourite food: bunnies and fish congee
- Newest obsession: Lightning Mcqueen from CARS
- When we observe A during his various play dates, we've come to realize that he can be the ruthless ring leader, making others follow him or play with things that he insists that they should play with. We are working on teaching him that he needs to let others do their own thing and if they choose not to do what he wants them to then that's okay too.
- I love Aidan's enthusiasm for life!
