Victoria Day long weekend fun!

We did a lot this weekend. We cleaned up and did some house work, had a BBQ party and also had a date night.

My husband and I had a date night Saturday. We went down to the city to one of our favorite Italian restaurants. Mmm the food was delicious! It brought back memories of when we lived in the city. We also got a parking ticket too, ha! The remembered how many tickets a year we use to get when we lived in the city haha! We were on our way to watch a movie and we saw a sign on a restaurant saying it was cuban jazz night. So we decided to go there instead. So happy we did. The night was perfect :)

Sunday night we had guests over for a BBQ party. We had fireworks and we also watched the fireworks from the theme park just north of us. We can see them from our backyard. We love that! The kids didn't like them too much though haha they were too loud for them.

It was a fun weekend. Baby k is sleeping in this morning too ha!

The weather was awesome and we spent a lot of time outdoors. We had a great weekend.

For those in OK hit by the tornado and those fearing tornados in their city. I'm sending my prayers out to all the families.

Mother's Day weekend

My second Mother's Day! I'm so proud to be a mom to my sweet little boy. I love him more than words can express! He has brought soo much joy to our family and I feel so blessed to be his mom.

This weekend we went cross border shopping. The drive is not that long and we got some really good deals. I bought 4 pairs of shoes, jeans, a dress and baby k some shoes and outfits, my husband found some great deals too. We spent the whole day shopping, eating out and having fun. Baby K loved it. We also shopped at target. I love target! Can't wait for one to open near us soon! On the way back home we drove by Niagara Falls and stopped and the Hershey factory. A must!

On Mother's Day we went to visit our mothers to celebrate Mother's Day. We had a great Mother's Day weekend.

Hope you did too!

Sun, fun and blueberry pie!

Today started out dark and rainy, but by the afternoon the sun was shining and it turned out to be a nice warm day!

Baby k loves picking those dandelions, kicking and throwing balls playing on the slide and just exploring the backyard. Of course he would try and pick up ants and put dirt in his mouth ha! Oh boy!

We spent some of the afternoon and evening playing soccer in the backyard with his new net that he had got for his birthday last year!

After hours of playing outside we ended our day with some blueberry pie. Yum!

Sick days

My little one has had a fever the last couple days and has not been feeling himself. The fever has passed thank goodness and he's slowly feeling himself again. We stayed in the last couple days only playing in the backyard for a bit. We also made some Mother's Day art too!
Baby k loves paying with his new swing and slide set ;) and loves picking all the dandelions to bring to me to smell ha! Sweet boy. The weather is so nice and the flowers are blooming. I'm hoping my little one feels all better soon. It breaks my heart when he is feeling sick.

Fun weekend but ending not so fun

This weekend was beautiful weather. We had a lot of fun outdoors. We also had a delicious dinner at my sisters home Saturday night to announce that my brother and sil are going to be baby E's godparents! They were soo happy! We had a wine night where each couple brought a bottle of wine for us to try. Oh boy it was a lot of wine. We stayed over late and the kiddos all slept together on the sofa ha!

Yesterday we spent most the day outside. It was really warm. Baby k at the end of the day didn't seem too well. He was very hot and first thing I thought of was heat exhaustion. Then last night his fever spiked to 104. It's still hovering at 100.2. I'm bringing him in to the doctor later on today. So today we will spend it indoors getting better. Hate when my little one is feeling down ;(

Just the beginning of fun in the sun

The weather this week has been awesome! Since baby K hit 18 months he has been changing so much! It's amazing to watch him develop. He cracks me up too, always being silly with us. I play with flash cards to help him identify things. He knows what they all are now and will get the car card and bring it to his toy cars and the best one was when he chased Zoe saying ki-ca (kitty cat) showing her the card of the cat ha! Like this is you Zoe! Ha!

He also has been telling me when he goes to the bathroom! He says peepee but really doing the other, but he actually tells me which is amazing!

We have been having fun outdoors this week. I am really enjoying more than ever where we live. We have a park right across the street where baby k can run around getting all his energy out.

I also got some backyard toys this week too!

I'm excited for this nice weather and summer time! Bring on the sunshine!

18 month check up!

Little K, You are 18 months old!!! Where did the time go! I'm so blessed and happy that I've been home with you the last 3 months watching you grow and learn so much!

I really have seen so much growth this past month. Last month you hit the toddler stage full force haha showing your independence and cute little personality.

Today you weigh 20 pounds. The doctor is happy with your weight, even though you are on the slim side, you eat healthy and you are growing perfectly.

You are a boy and have no hips ha! All your pants fall off you. Your waist is really still in 12 months but the length would be short ha! So you are in 12-18, some fit well while others hang low.

Your bedtime has been earlier this month usually 8/830-730/8 and naps ranging from 1.5-3 hours.

The last month you have been exploding in your vocabulary. Up to 25 words we can understand and lots of babble on top of that.

You understand a lot! And know what I'm talking about when I speak to you and if you don't you look at me and say "EH" with a serious face.

You love animals, toy cars and balls! You have so much fun playing. We can't wait to take you to the zoo this summer too!

You love to eat and even beg for food as soon as you see it even with strangers! Haha!

You love your fruit and have one as dessert after every meal. You always ask for apples, bananas, blueberries and avocado! Blueberries by far still your favorite!

I love that you use your words to ask for what you want.. You are growing soo fast and I love this stage it's really so much fun!

Happy 18 months old my big boy!!!

Fast like cars or trikes

Ha! It really cracks me up how fast baby K makes a run for it every chance he gets. Yesterday he ran through toys r us, stoping only a second to touch a toy or two. Running is the name of the game. But... we bought him a Trike... I'm not sure if he is going to like it since we can't hold him down these days but it turns into a tricycle for next year so it's ok. I put it together tonight. So when he wakes up tomorrow morning it'll be ready to ride!

Baby K's new favorite toys are cars. He loves rolling them all through the house.

This morning we went to a Early years play group (a free service that is offered in our area) baby K had a great time. It's really close to my sisters house so we dropped by for lunch! Baby E is growing so fast too! She'll be 1 month next week! She's adorable!!!!

A little toddler life

I can't believe how time is just flying! Baby K will be 18 months old next week. Our big 18 month check up is next week too. I get emotional at times, ok a lot of the time seeing him change so much before my eyes. Emotional and happy at the same time. Everything he did today well everything he does everyday just melts my heart. I don't want to forget any of it! So I'm hoping to blog more and more about the little things and new things he does so I can come back and read it over and over haha yes I'm that crazy mom.

Today we ran out of baby K's favorite fruit. He loves blueberries and today he asked for them "Bru" he calls them. We go through 3-4 packages a week just for him! He kept asking and asking until finally he was satisfied with a apple. He's communicating much more, asking specifically for things he wants more and more. Seeing him change everyday really is incredible.

This morning we went to visit my little niece. I'm teaching Kris to be nice to the babies since lately he has been hitting if a baby touches his stuff. I told him to be nice to baby E and kiss her and he was totally happy and kissed her and called her baby a million times ha! Whew!

We had a fun day today and we even baked a little. Baby K watched me make us cookies. He always wants whatever food he sees, so I had to entertain him with a little sugar and flour so I could bake ha!

Today's fun pics below ;)

Toddler on the run

My almost 18 month old is a little runner. The second his feet touch the ground he's running! We are having a slow start to spring so we aren't playing outside as much as we would like to yet. We need better weather! Today we went to a playland to run around! Kris loves it. He loves running all around the place and getting in and out of the toy cars and toy house. He loves playing with cars. He calls them beep beeps ha!
Soon the weather will be nicer and we will be running in the park everyday!
