Good bye February Thanks for The Memories...

I can't believe February is over. I know it's a short month, but my oh my it just flew bye. What has happened with our boy, you ask. Well he has grown so much. Angus is responding to sounds, shapes and faces. He knows who Mommy and Daddy are. He coos and tries to talk as much as he can. One of his pet peeves is having a wet diaper...we have learned which cry means what...most of the time.

Valentine's weekend was wonderful. I was spoiled by my son and husband. Justin showered me with gifts as well as made the greatest video/ slide show ever of our lives together. I start to cry just thinking of it. (in a good way) We had a great weekend as a family and enjoyed pancakes with lots of syrup!

The next weekend we did a family photoshoot. We had Nana (my mom) Pops (her boyfriend) GG (my grandfather) and Uncle TJ. It was such a good time capturing the magic effect Angus has on our lives. It's like holding a beam of happiness that warms your heart. I loved that we are so blessed to have such great moments.

Last week Angus had his first train ride. We had a quick trip to Windsor to introduce Angus to his paternal grandparents and great grandmother. Well actually his first train ride turned into his first bus ride too since because of  'technical difficulties' on the first train (of two to get to our destination) we missed our connecting train. Angus was an angel on the way there but on our ride home he was possessed by the evil gas...oh the cries of pain!

Now we are getting ready for our big trip to Edmonton. Three days on the train just to get there. We are going to have a great time, I just know it. I am so excited to introduce AJ to his aunt (Justin's sister) and her family. We haven't seen them in years so it's going to be fun catching up.

I shall keep you posted on our boy's growth. He has become a beautiful little boy who one day will become an amazing man. As excited as I am to see who he will someday be, I am perfectly happy holding him close to me and wiping his chin till then.

My boys

I have enjoyed every moment of mommy-hood thus far. I have also enjoyed watching my husband be an amazing father to our son. I have to say seeing my husband get his hands dirty, put a silly face on and get on the floor to play; makes my heart beam. I have been falling in love with Justin (my husband) a little more everyday and now that Angus is in our lives, I am head-over-heels in love and that honestly is the best feeling ever. We met when I was 19 and he had just turned 21, so at that time neither one of us was looking for 'the one' but it's amazing what you find when you're not looking. This summer we will be celebrating 10 years together and 5 years of marriage. I feel that our family is the greatest show of love that we could give each other.

If I could pick the perfect father for my son, I would pick Justin time and time again. He is not shy to be emotional and he is so passionate about being the best person that he can be. I tell AJ everyday that his daddy is superman. I feel that every moment you have with each other it is important to say how much you love each other and also to remind ourselves how much we are loved. My son has a world of people who love him, it takes a while to get through all of the names of his guardian angels in heaven and on earth.

I wouldn't want to change any part of my life. There are days where I need to remind myself of that fact but I am so blessed, I really am thankful. Today my son is 8 weeks old and 14.5lbs. He is a big boy with a big heart.   

Catching up!!

 Okay so it's been awhile since my last post. The updates thus far are:

January 18th baby's first bobo.
 OMG I will never forget this day. My poor son was left alone in his crib ( I obviously should have been in the crib with him!!) Bad crib! Bad crib!
Sorry back to the story, I was trying to let Gus nap in his crib while I tried to eat. He was a little fussy but was okay, we're into the testing stage. Anyway I hear him scream and I'm like super calm walking in his room with "hey buddy you're okay" and there was my bad mommy moment. My poor child had blood all along the outside of his right nostril. OMG I grabbed my screaming child and ran for the phone. I was thinking holy crap my son has a brain hemorrhage, is he bleeding out of his ears? No. Is he bleeding out of his eyes? No. Where is the source of blood coming for? I need to know to make a clear 911 call. Ok lets get a wash cloth and wipe away the blood...wait a second the blood is not inside his nose only on the outside.
Ladies and gentlemen the blood was only on the outside because my son had just scratched his nose with his long nails. Thank God I didn't call 911. After that intense ordeal my son had a manicure!
Motherhood makes you crazy!

What else can I tell you??? My little boy now seven weeks old and loves bath time. He is growing like a weed tipping the scales at 12.5lbs and he is wearing clothes for 3-6 month olds.

We have successfully gotten our boy on a sleep schedule. However we have had a few bumps in the road the last couple of weeks. Nonetheless we are back on track now. I have been trying to get back to emails and back on my blog but I have a royal cutie who rules the priority list.
