Here are a few pics from today….
A great pic of the guys…
and here is the Marble run we got…
Colin got a pair of Harry Potter glasses…
and I made a Carrot Cake per Xavier’s request…
The Boys in the pool…
Swimming season has started early this year and the boys are having a blast!
Last year Xavier was swimming by himself but he kind of forgot… or more like he was to nervous to do so the first time in the pool… finally I got him to try with just the balloon in his back like what he used to learn to swim and then the third time in the pool which was yesterday I convinced him to try without… he picked it right back up again and he is now the little fish he was last year….
Colin has started with the balloon now but loves his star floatie that he used all summer last year also… the only thing is that Colin gets a bit cold after a while and would rather hang out on the deck…
Khéna LOVES the pool… he doesn’t care at all if the water is still a bit cool… he is happy as a clam!! We put him in the boat for the first few times and just take him out at the end… but yesterday he started to kick his legs in the boat and realized that he could go somewhere when he did it! then we took him out of the boat and he was kicking his legs and moving his arms and just smiling like crazy… I can even lay him on his back in the water and he is completely relaxed…
here are a few pics and a video…

To make going around in circles in the driveway more interesting… Simon gave the boys their own race track… they had fun for hours!
6 months….
wow…. I am about a week late on this post…
Khéna is now 6 months old (as of last Monday)… It is amazing how time can pass so fast…
At six months he is becoming such a little person… he is curious, sensitive, outgoing and shy… he makes us laugh and is just the sweetest little thing…
Though both Colin and Xavier were crawling and starting to pull themselves up by this age, Khéna is taking his time… I think it mostly comes from his weight…
He can sit for indefinite amounts of time and can get from sitting to his tummy deliberately… and when on his tummy he can push himself backwards… so the first steps of learning how to crawl…
He can roll but mostly chooses not to… mostly because it is very rare that we put him down on the floor to do so…
He puts his arms up for us to pick him up…
He says Mama (just started 2 days ago) and is saying more and more sounds…
He loves the water and loved going in the pool for the first time last week (we had a weird heat wave)
He gets upset when he drops a toy or we take it away…
He not only eyes our food but has started to get upset that we don’t share… (I am not sure when we will be starting Solids with him though… I would rather wait another few months… we’ll see)
It is amazing how he has come from this
to this…
heat wave last weekend…
I thought I had shared these… oh well…
we had really warm weather last weekend… it was in the 30’s and humid…
So we actually got to use the pool and the boys loved it! By the end the boys had blue lips… except for Khéna… he was finally comfortable and not cold at all…
I got Khéna weighed today…
Yesterday I ran into a nurse that I know at the grocery store… we talked a bit about my UC, birth, breastfeeding and babywearing which led to weight…. when I told her that we hadn’t had him weighed because we don’t agree with Well-baby visits she offered to weigh Khéna if I wanted (she had a free time this afternoon) and I thought it would be fun even to just show him off to a few of the nurses that I know… so I went in today, put him down on the scale and got the numbers…
At a few days shy of 6 months (6 months on Monday) he is now 29 pounds and is about 29 1/2 inches long…!!!!!
He is wearing 24 months (in the pic he has a 24 month romper) and mostly 2 years clothes and is just a big boy overall…
stupid garage sale rules…
Such a frustrating day!
Our city allows garage sales 4 weekends a year… 3 are in May and one at the end of August… though the August one is free the others need a license and not only can they only be valid for one weekend, you cannot even get another one if things don’t go well, rain etc…
Anyway…
I saw that it would be nice this weekend so I decided that it was a good day for a garage sale… On friday I went and got change, got the license etc and then came home to get everything together with Simon… Early on Sat morning we got everything set up and then started the wait… Well… another thing about garage sales here is that you are not allowed to advertise… neither before or during the sale.. and of course, we live on a small side street… so we practically had no one come by… finally at the end of the day we made our first sale… then a second… paying at least our license.. then a third sale made our grand total of profit…
1$
I am never having another garage sale here… the laws really suck!!!
The only good thing was that it was a gorgeous day and I got some cute pics…
A few new pics…
