Chilling at Grandpa & Grandmas!

This afternoon we headed over to my parents for a bit and Jackson got to hang out on his cool mat and hang out with my dad in the theatre room where we caught the end of the football game (boo Eskimos!). It was fun to see how much more alert and interactive he is getting!

ALSO...he rolled over from his stomach to his back TWICE all by himself!  I was so freaking excited!  YAY Jackson!  My mom was there to vouch!  So exciting!

Exploring the rope lighting in the theatre room...he was so captivated by it!

Watching the Eskimos fumble the football...again!

Playing on Grandpa's legs!

Happy Two Months Jackson!

Well, today is our two month celebration!  We now can't imagine our lives without this little man in them...and are so blessed to be parents!  Every day we are amazed by his 'tricks' (as daddy calls them!).  He is truly special and we are so lucky to be a part of his journey called life!

Things we LOVE about JACKSON

In no particular order!

- His SMILE!  We get to see it more and more now! -

- His "OH" face where he makes a little circle with his lips -

- His dinosaur noises (we sometimes call him Valaso short for Valasoraptor!) -

- The button nose! -

- His funny little middle toe -

- His ability to find blinds in EVERY room and his fascination with staring at them! -

- The fact that his hands are always into everything...in his face, around his bottle, throwing pacifiers out of his mouth! -

- He is already in 3 - 6 month clothing -

- He wore 3 - 6 month socks home...and his feet won't fit in his sleepers anymore! -

- His love bite out of his left ear -

- His love for baths and how sweet and snoozy he gets in the water! -

- His multiple facial expressions as he tries to tell us more and more -

- He is in the 90th percentile for weight gain...which amazes us given his premature status -

- His amazing head control and how he's been lifting it for a long time now -

- His 'scootching' up us when holding him and across the floor during tummy time, this boy wants to get moving! -

- His cheeks!  (As if I would forget that one!) -

- His use of the word 'owe', making us stop in our tracks and giggle -

- The way he smells -

- His HAIR! -

- Those BLUE eyes! -

 - The amazing perspective he has brought to us about the world and our new found amazement for the little things in life! -

- How much love he has brought to our lives -

Thank You Jackson 

We love you ever so much and look forward to each and every day starting and ending with you...

Love Mommy & Daddy...and Kia

We Have BABIES!

Okay...well our bird had babies!  I went to catch a photo of her...and ended up finding these (somewhat ugly!) little things.  I felt horrible that I didn't have food for those big open mouths of theirs!

Hoping mom comes back soon and I didn't scare her away from her family.

(Dreaming of Kia licking his face...I'm sure!!)

Muttart Conservatory Adventure

This afternoon we went to the Muttart Conservatory.  It was smaller than I remembered and a bit disappointing...but Jackson seemed to enjoy it!  We thought he would sleep the whole time, but not a chance...he was taking it all in!

(His eyes had to adjust to the brightness!)

(I love this photo)

(look over here...no, you look over here!!)

(I love that you can see the world looking back at him in his eyes!)

Last Night's Chores

Last night's chores were oh so exciting...well not really, but we made them exciting!  We put in the Rhymes that Bind cd and enjoyed singing songs as we worked!

Jackson was 'helping' me put away his laundry!  Ah yes, starting him young!

This is his Einstein Activity Centre.  Clearly he's still too tiny - but we set it up none the less...it will be interesting to look back and see these photos once he is big enough to interact with it!  I bet it will be sooner than later! 

It's so nice to have Trevor home!  Hopefully the week doesn't fly by too fast!
