a few new things…
things here have been doing pretty good…
I have been swimming as much as I can and it is getting easier and easier… not only to swim, but to actually get up and go…
Khéna is growing and changing like crazy… at almost 17 months old he is starting to say more words and loves to make us laugh. He also loves to cuddle and is just a little sweetie…
The weather here has been really warm the last few days… in the 20’s even! and the snow is melting fast especially in the back yard. (the Front still has quite a bit though… this was taken yesterday)
We have been hanging out on the deck most days though and I have been able to clean the kitchen and some of the house with all three boys playing outside which feels so weird at times… I love when they start playing alone like this…
Colin is still a little monkey… jumping everywhere and chattering and singing constantly… he loves to please and loves to cuddle and give kisses and talk with us… His language skills are amazing and the things that he says sometimes surprise us…
Xavier… well he is my Xavier… he is getting really interested in so many things and is starting to ask more and more questions about everything and really understanding what we are explaining even if it is a bit more complicated…. also… he lost his first tooth on Saturday!! Well technically it is the second tooth that he has lost but I won’t really count the first because it was knocked out almost 3 years ago… funny how they both line up perfectly though….
First Haircut!
I decided that it was finally time to give Khéna his first haircut…
though I don’t mind… he was being called a little girl by everyone that saw him… but mostly… it was getting into his eyes…
It was hard to decided though because it would mean losing his curls… I love baby curls…
Before…
After….
In that last pic you can also see a bit of his teeth… Surprisingly he has all of his teeth now…
16 of them!!
So teething is pretty much all over until the 2 year molars come in!
oh… and here is what is left of the snow in our front yard… at least it is starting to melt more quickly now…
a little funny…
Colin just came up to me to cuddle… but wanted some sympathy also… so he said…
“Mommy… I am so sad”
so I asked why…
“I hurt myself…” he said…
I asked his where he hurt himself and he said that he hit his head on the fridge…
So I said that I don’t mind cuddling him of course, but that it wasn’t true because he had not been in the kitchen…
so he said… “was that a lie” and I said yes….
he got off of my lap and went away…
then I heard a thump in the kitchen… and he came back and said again… “mommy, I hit my head of the fridge… I am so sad… I want maju”
he now has a red spot on his forehead…

We had the appointment at the Endo on Monday…
and… as I expected and really just knew all along, everything is completely normal with Khéna….
He is a big healthy boy.
Yes, He is very overweight, and off the charts at a bit over 18 kilos or 40lbs… but everything is normal…
They did mention that if he maintains the weight that he has now, he would come into the 97th percentile on the charts at age three… so they do think that he should not be gaining more… but there is nothing they can recomend for him not to gain weight… and because they could not blame overeating, because he really doesn’t eat much… they did try to hint that my milk might be too rich in calories and that he should be eating more solids… but then didn’t mention it again after they couldn’t explain why that would be when his two big brothers had the same nursing patterns and were/are pretty small..
I also asked if it was OK if ever he lost weight because with the spring and summer on the way and more outdoor play, swimming etc… and they said that there was no problem with that…
So for those IRL, and who read the blog and have been worried about Khéna’s weight… don’t worry… he is a healthy, beautiful and yes… big boy…
Filed under Medical Maladies, The Boys | Comments (3)Xavier got a haircut!
We have been asking him for a while now if he wanted to get it cut and he always says no… the problem with the long hair though is that he doens’t want to brush it and never wants to tie it… so it was always in knots and in his eyes…
Over the weekend though we were able to talk it out and gave him the choice between caring for his hair by brushing and tying it when it is getting in his eyes… or cutting it…
I also gave him the choice of me cutting it, or going to the Salon to get it cut… he chose the Salon…
So today… after he had to hold his hair back to lick the syrup off his plate after eating french toast, I took an appointment…
here is just before…
during…
and after….

of course…
So… as I finished typing that last post and breathed in a a breath of quietness… the phone rang… Colin headed up stairs to go to the bathroom and Khéna was woken by both the phone and his brother…
I made lunch, we ate and the boys headed back downstairs and I sat down to read while Khéna was happily playing in view in the kitchen… he then went out of view… nothing alarming as he plays out of view quite often… but he became quiet… a bit too quiet…
I stood up and walked to the kitchen where I saw him sitting happily in the middle of a puddle… it was a yellowish liquid and it surrounded him completly… pee? I thought…but there was too much to be pee….
then… I saw it… next to him… an almost empty container of vegetable oil … it was full before (1.89L worth)… and now it is not…
*sigh*
A roll of Paper towels later… and I have washed the floor 3 times with dish soap…. now I need to figure out how to salvage the veggie oil soaked Fleece diaper cover…. it is soaking in hot water and dish soap as I type…

Whatever you do or do not celebrate…. I wish you health and happiness and a great year to come…
…..
We had a great xmas eve… my mom came over with her boyfriend… the kids went to bed like usual and then we ate fondue into the night…
This morning the boys woke up and their faces showed all of the excitement from the presents under the tree… the opened their presents and what was fun is that they took their time and played in between…
Xavier got mostly Lego… Colin got Playmobil and Khéna got a spaceship…
I am waiting for one of my gifts to come in the mail… but I got a new mouse for my Charming Tails collection, World without End by Ken Follett and chocolate… and then we lounged around all day and ate leftover fondue with the boys…
great times…
beautiful day…
It’s the calm after the storm and a great day to see just how much snow has fallen…
I went out and played with the boys all morning… we went for a walk and they climbed and slid in the front yard and jumped from the hill on our front lawn..
I also moved the car so that the snow removal truck can come and do the rest of our driveway so that we could get the garbage bins out later…
Some more pics…
neglecting the blog…
I have been neglecting the blog lately… not much to say… just life as usual…
Over the weekend we had friends over, played in the snow and made sushi… and then on Sunday we went To Simon’s work party for the kids… In the past years it was held at a School but this year it was at the “Just for Laughs” Museum… Which had the potential of being cool but the entrance was bottle necked so it was about a 30-40 min wait just to go upstairs… and then finally when we got up it was really unorganized and where we sat to eat lunch had a bar feel… dark and a bit dingy… really not what we expected…
The boys did seem to have fun though… I think Colin has a bit of the same anxiety as me when it comes to crowds though…
Being a X-mas party of course there was Santa Clause… as I have said before in the past, I don’t agree with trying to get the kids to believe in Santa… it doesn’t seem right to me…
The boys however, do believe in Santa… no matter what I say… and believe me, they know that I don’t believe that Santa exists…
Anyway… they were both excited to see him and sit on his lap…
After seeing Santa we headed home and put up the X-mas tree and had a great evening…
