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…
25 May
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…
21 May
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…
Arrrrr…..
and a few more pics…
Hawi Potta!
some mirror pics… he is infatuated by the baby in the mirror that plays patta-cake with him!
Here are a few pics from “La Cabane à Sucre” or “Sugar Shack” where we went last Thursday… This is one tradition that I want my Family to know. It is something that I loved doing as a child…
For those who don’t know what it is… Quebec is the largest producer of Maple Syrup in the world so when the Nectar Flows the Sugar shack go to work…. collecting the Maple water a few times a day and the boiling it down to the Maple Syrup we know…
With the syrup comes the food… A whole array of traditional french-canadian cuisine… Def not healthy or vegetarian and not something that I could eat everyday or more than once a year…
Cretons on toast,Split Pea soup, Maple omelette, Breakfast Sausages, Apple Maple Ham. Maple Baked Beans, Pork rinds, Beignets, homemade dougnuts, Maple cake, Maple sugar Pie etc…
Followed by “tire sur Neige”
Hot maple syrup poured onto snow making a Maple taffy…
Now “Sugaring off” also includes small petting zoo’s at many places, horse drawn sled or buggy rides etc…
Anyway… here are some pics….
Here is the Maple Taffy…
This was an amazingly nice Llama called Tommy…
Khéna is just about 3 1/2 months old and is about 22-23 pounds now and wearing a size 18 months in mostly everything though we can't put him in pants because of the length… (he either wears a onsie or just a shirt most of the time with babylegs for easy pottying) Footed PJ's don"t fit at all because of the length but 2 piece PJ's fit so he wears those when we are out…
I am not really sure if he can roll over or not because I don't put him down much, besides when he is sleeping at night he is in our arms.. I sometimes put him in his highchair while we eat though and recently I have put him down on the floor and he is starting to enjoy that a bit… but not for long…
he has never really been on his tummy but I don't agree that is important anyways because of the baby wearing…
EC is doing great though he still won't potty when we go out and he holds it in all day which must be very uncomfortable.. we are trying to get him used to going in other places besides on the BBLP in front of the Mirror.. so that maybe pottying elsewhere will be easier…
Khéna loves baths and showers but hasn't taken that many yet to be honest… but really he isn't too dirty anyways..
Yesterday however, Simon gave him is first bath alone in the tub (usually I take it with him) and he had a blast splashing and moving…He really loves the water… so I think he is going tp be having them more often…
He still nurses about every 1 hour in the daytime, and though it is a lot he sleeps about 8-10 hours at night… so it equals out… he can and does nurse less when we are out so I really have to make the time to stop and nurse him those days…
Khéna is also cooing and "talking" so much now… he laughs and giggles and smiles at his brothers… He is tickish and just overall really happy…
Here are some new pics!
With Xavier…
On the Potty…
