Love u

Dear Screech,
Today you certainly lived up to your nickname - and then some! You screamed at me all day about everything! You wanted up, then you wanted down, then you wanted your sweater off, then you wanted milk, then you wanted the dogs, then you wanted to play, then you wanted to eat, then you .... well you get the picture, you were a very demanding boy today! I am thinking you might land yourself in a time out soon if you keep it up little boy!

Today I took you to a play group and you had fun! There was four of you and for the most part you all had a great time... except for the moment when you all started fighting over the same sippy cup! hahaha - oh to be a baby again: when your only "problem" was getting your hands on that damn sippy cup before the other kids! hahaha!

Today you also copied me and clapped your hands for the first time -  I am such a proud momma! You also do the cutest thing (I have been trying to catch it on video) I kiss you on the cheek and go MMMMMMMM MWAH! and you try to copy me but end up going mmmmBAH hahahaha hehehehe its adorable! I LOVE YOU!

And even though you caused your momma a lot of trouble today, you still managed to be the cutest little boy in the entire world!

Changes

Koen,

Its amazing how much can change in your little life in only a week - The last letter I wrote you was on March 13th .... its only been a week and one day and you now have two front teeth !!! Well, really you have one and a half teeth, because one tooth hasnt really come down all the way... you better not bite me young man!!! hahaha! This is your first tooth - and it is bitter sweet - I wondered when you would get your first tooth and kept peeking in your mouth to see if it is there.... and now that its here, I am sad that you are growing up so fast..... on top of the two teeth coming through, you took 3 BIG steps on your own today !!!! WOW, Daddy and I both saw you do it together and we've never been so darn proud! Also, its so nice to have Daddy back from LasVegas (he was there on work) and home with us - we really missed him.  While he was away, I didnt get to write much, because you consumed every waking moment hahaha! But we had a good time.... I took you out alot, to restaurants and play groups to keep us busy so we didn't miss our daddy too much.  There is this one restaurant that has great food and a little fish pond to keep you busy, you love watching the fishies:

I also took this picture of you, and I just love it, you are sooooo cute!

This is what you and Daddy look like today:

Yo Yo Yogurt!

Koen, this week its just you and me! Daddy is away and misses us both very much..... but he will be home soon.... I just wanted to show you a quick picture..... of you eating/enjoying yogurt - you had me laughing so hard!

I love you

A bit of Everything

Koen,

now momma is in trouble... I really have been slacking! hahaha, so here are two blog posts in one... it will be a bit of a long one, but I will try to tell the story with pictures more than writing:

I dont remember the exact date now, but it was only 3 or 4 days ago... We took you to a big park that is out of town:

You absolutely LOVED the park, and if it had been a bit warmer we would've spent much more time there!

Here is you and Daddy:

Now this is what you did today..... we went to the mall and then daddy came and met us there! I took you to this little play area:

Also, today was a big day for you.... you drank from a straw for the FIRST time.... it was a SMOOTHIE!! hahaha Here is a picture of you and Daddy enjoying your drink :o)

slackin

Hi my love!

Momma has been slacking! I just saw the date of the last letter I wrote to you.... it was back on Feb 24th!? I didn't think that much time had passed between that letter and this one... but I guess it has....

The reason I have not posted anything recently, is because we went on a little trip to see grandma, grandpa and GREAT grandma and GREAT grandpa.  Then when we got back momma had a big photoshoot to do for some clients (gotta pay the bills too, haha) and then today you me and daddy went swimming at the pool and had lots of fun!  So, I am just writing a quick I LOVE YOU and then tomorrow I will post some photos about our little trip to see the grand folks and such.

LOVE U SCREECH!

Snow Day !

Dear Screech,

Today was a SNOW day!

.... and on a side note.... I really can't believe that it is almost the end of February, making you that much closer to my ONE year old - that just seems so bizzare to me: you cant possibly be a one year old in only a few short months!?

Today was play group and it was busy there today, despite the snow warnings everywhere! You had a great time and you love play group - you were a busy boy today, crawling all over the place!
In the top two pictures, thats you crawling after the ball with your little friend Sam (you are the one in the blue, white and green stripped sweater if you cant tell)  You love the balls at play group! Especially the orange spikey one!!!  After play group, you, me and Daddy all went shopping at the grocery store!
I was a bad momma and forgot your hat (not that you would wear it anyways, hahaha) so I gave you my toque to wear to keep you warm - I love you! So, if you are wondering, that is why in a few of the pictures you are wearing an oversized, pink fuzzy toque.... hahaha, its because its your momma's! Funny enough you kept it on your head though.....

Oh my gosh, I am the luckiest woman in the world: I have the 2 most absolutely handsome men in my life!!!! I love you and Daddy so very much, you both mean everything to me. 

We are so very lucky to have Daddy in our lives!

This is what you and your Daddy look like today!

P.S.  You love the snow!

oh and guess what you are looking at in the picture with Daddy?

..... pigeons!

Sushi Sunday

To my little boy:

If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, it will say that it is almost 2am.... and now Monday..... let me explain: after Daddy and I get you all ready for bed each night, I feed you the boob and then either daddy or I will rock you to sleep.  Then we either game (lol) or like tonight, I work on my photography projects/work.  I didn't get finished until 1:30am and then of course I have been itching to type you out a letter about your day today, I love you!

Today (Sunday) Daddy and I took you out on the town! We went out for SUSHI with our good friends Pat and Jerri and their Daughter Serenity (you two are good friends too by the way).  You were so well behaved in the restaurant! The sushi chef came over and gave you a paper crane - but you tried to eat it, so I took it away hahaha.  You and Serri absolutely loved the fake flowers that they had on the table - you each took one and were swinging them around at each other!

You really liked the look of Daddy's sushi, but you didn't really care for the taste yet.  You LOVED the advocado out of Mommy's sushi and you were eating rice - as long as it had some soya sauce!  I also brought you some banana and a few baby food jars to keep you busy while we were eating.

Little boy, I love you so much! Here is what we look like today:

You are 10.5 months old and I am 27.5 years old !
