My Baby Boy is 5 Months!


Really! Really! My little boy is 5 months old!

I love this little man sooo much!



 What has he been up to....

You are a happy baby! We always get asked what we are doing to make you smile so much. I'm not sure! I guess we are always talking, smiling and playing with you.

You love to grab things and put them right in your mouth haha you reach for our faces and give of slobbery kisses, really you are trying to eat us.

You babble a lot! ehhhhhhhh, oooooo, raaaaaaaaa, baaaaaa, daaaaaaaa and even numm numm numm

Your giggle is the cutest, we love to make you laugh!

 You love when people talk to you, you just listen and take it all in.  You are so alert and love being out and about. You are starting to mimic me too! So I know you are paying such close attention!

You even look for the Zoe (cat) when you hear her meow.



You had your first wedding this weekend and you were soo well behaved. You even wanted to stay awake most the time, you didn't want to miss a thing!

You love attention and know how to scream for it too :)

You are eating more rice cereal these days, I have you eating half a bowl a day! yum! In the next couple weeks we will start fruits and veggies! Yum!

You love bath time and love to splash around and make a mess!





Your legs are getting so strong and you love to be in the standing position.  You still hate tummy time, you always did.

You are such a sweet boy and we love you sooooooo much!

Happy 5 months!!!!!!

My Sister's Wedding!

This weekend was my beautiful sisters wedding!!!

The morning of the wedding:

 4:30am my alarm rang, good thing it did because I fell asleep at 3:30am so I didn't get any sleep! Baby K was sleeping so nicely I really didn't want to wake him. But we had to go! I had 3 bags packed for a whole day out with the baby. I then drove to my aunts house to pick 2 of my cousins (bridesmaids) up. We then went to Tim Hortons to get breakfast for all the girls. The order took forever! 9 coffees and bagels haha. 

We got to my moms house around 6am. The bride and grooms mom were already getting their hair and makeup done. 9 girls to get their hair and makeup done took a while! The bride was nervous! her hair was last, which should have been first! All the girls including myself touched up our makeup to how we usually like it. I added darker liner and used my own mascara, and we alllll added bronzer ahahaha. 
 
I helped my sister get dressed, she took my breath away! The photographers came and they took pictures of her and the bridal party. *We took pictures on a hill of grass, my joints are still weak from giving birth so with my heels and trying to balance, I sprained my ankle :(

The beautiful bride!
The church:
We got there right on time! The bride was ready!!!  We handed my BIL and SIL baby K to hold during the ceremony. The couples started to make their way down the aisle... then it was my turn. I couldn't walk, my ankle hurt too much! I panicked. My SIL yelled out "take off your shoes!" so I stepped aside and threw them off! haha! I walked barefoot down the aisle haha! I walked down with my niece the flower girl and the best man (he was the best, bestman, the grooms brother soo helpful and organized)

Then down came the beautiful bride!!!!! The ceremony was lovely! My sister got married!



We then headed to take pictures and then made our way to the hall. I stole these pictures from my brother, he took amazing pictures of the day. 

 
 

 

The hall was decorated soo nice! The cake, the centerpieces, beautiful!



We partied the night away! She also had a photo booth which was a big hit with the guests. 
And at the end of the night burgers and fries! mmm mmm!

My sister danced with my brother for the father daughter dance, it was so nice and also emotional for us. My family is getting bigger and bigger and I am so blessed and happy. 

My experience being in the wedding with a 5 month old was a little hectic for me. Baby K was soooo good, no complaints there. But feeding, changing, napping... it was a lot of work juggling baby and wedding tasks. My ankle and muscles in my leg still hurts a lot boo! But I survived! I had lots of help too so that was great.  Overall the day went perfect and my sister was happy about how smooth the whole day went.

I'm soooo happy for my sister and my new BIL. They are now enjoying their time in Jamaica!!!

Crazy about my baby boy

This week my baby boy turns 5 months. The days are really flying.

At 5 months this little one doesn't have the greatest sleep schedule yet. Somedays he will do 5-6 hour stretches, eat and go on for another 3-4. Other nights like last night he is up every 1-2 hours to nurse. I can't really put my finger on what the difference is in the nights he sleeps well vs the nights he doesn't.

Yesterday he started eating more of the rice cereal. He ate almost half his bowl! (I was thinking that maybe this made him wake so often at night, not sure)

I'm looking forward to getting on to fruits and veggies. Hopefully in the next couple weeks!

We had a fun weekend visiting family. Kris loves to involved and always wants to be part of the conversations and fun. He even loved sitting with his cousin watching Mickey mouse in my iPhone.

I may not have much time to blog this week. This week will be busy for us. My sister's wedding is coming up! We are so excited and all ready!

I tried on my dress twice already this weekend and just walked around in it haha!

We just bought baby k's booties this weekend to go with his suit! He looks so cute in his suit.

Hope you all have a great week!

Sunny days and New stuff!

This week was just beautiful! We never had a March like this! I was sporting a tube top getting some sun.

Today baby and I spent most the day out shopping and out for a walk in the neighborhood.

Even though the weather has been awesome, yesterday I was feeling a little down. I think it's the sleepless nights cathching up to me. I just haven't been feeling myself. I usually sleep when the baby sleeps at night. But the past 2 weeks, I just can't get to sleep. It's so frustrating and it's making me feel crabby and foggy. My body is really feeling it too, my back, knees,ankles and wrists. Boo!

Today I decided to try and feel better with a little shopping. :) and with Mr snuggles being so cute everyday, it always makes me feel better.

 He was just playing and playing while I took my time browsing around.
Some outfits for baby K
Summer dress

colorful flats

Polka-dot sandals


Sunglasses, how cute!

Today we used the seat part of the stroller which is great because the canopy is much larger and blocks most the sun.... Well, the real reason we used it was because baby K had a blowout... poop all over his carseat, I had to clean it and let it dry, so we still went out for our walk with the other part of the stroller :). I'm having big issues with diapers these days. I went up a size to see if it would help... but nope still happens :/ 

This evening I went down to visit my mom and sister to discuss my sisters wedding next week... NEXT week!! We talked about or hair and makeup and decorating the house. We are all sooo excited.

Today baby K got a gift from his grandma. This gold bracelet with his initials KLM :)
 

Baby is sleeping, so I'm going to try and sleep too. Wish me luck!

Just some Tuesday fun

We started off our day with no coffee in our house. I was a little grumpy, but then decided to just buy breakfast and enjoy it at the park with baby K.

The weather was perfect.

I wanted to just stay out the whole day! But Baby K was a little fussy today so we spent most the day indoors.

We ate some cereal and made a mess and we watched some Mickey Mouse videos too.

We also received his cute shoes for my sisters wedding! Which is just 10 days away! How cute are these black leather slipper shoes with his name on them!

Then this evening my sister came over and we went to the mall to shop! DH babysat ;) we had a awesome time at the mall.

Tuesday fun pics ;)

Fun weekend, zoo, lake and eating out

This weekend was great! The weather has been amazing the past week, and will continue to be this week! It's awesome and everyone is enjoying it!

Friday I went to the zoo with my nieces. They had soo much fun. My older niece got to feed a lama and my baby niece was loving the animals. We had a great time and the weather was great!

Saturday my husband and I decided to spend the whole day out in the city. We started with our favorite breakfast place then headed to a park, (we went to the same park I was at Friday, and someone had burned it down early saturday morning. How sad!!!) we also went for a walk on lakeshore and ended our evening at a sushi restaurant we use to always go to in our old area.

Baby K loves being outdoors. He loves looking around and absorbing all the new things around. He hate just sitting in his carseat when we are at restaurants. He wants to be able to look around and be part of the conversations. Haha

He must have had a lot to think about because he has been sleeping much better too.

The weather this week will be awesome too! I'm looking forward to going for a walk everyday!

Hope you had a great weekend too!!!

Blog post - Beautiful week, shopping and playdate

Today was such a beautiful day!

So was yesterday! Yesterday my nieces came over for a visit. My 18 month old niece was having so much fun dancing and singing, she has the most adorable personality. She was copying everything I was doing, and she just loves her baby cousin.

The sun was shining so bright today, I love that spring came early! Today baby and I went out for a walk and went out to shop a little too.

While out shopping today at homesense I saw 2 chairs that I like, I have the perfect spot in my bedroom for one. Hmm!

I love homesense. Today I bought 2 new pots!

Yesterday I tried putting baby boy in the seat attachment of the stroller, see the pic below. He is wayy too small for it still. Although this seat can recline so he could be in it very comfortably if I use it.

Hope you all had amazing weather today too!
