Ramblings

Sorry I haven't blogged much lately - life has been busy with this active tornado we call Calder and also Gary and I are attempting to do a few DIYs around the house. Last weekend we were unsuccessful at putting up crown moulding ourselves due to a few glitches, but we are hoping it will be up soon. Over the next few weeks we will be putting in a backsplash and over the March Break (I have 2 weeks off, yay!) I am going to attempt to paint our master bedroom. Calder is right into the crownmoulding, though - he holds up a piece of the crown moulding and points to the ceiling and nods yes when Gary asks if he is going to help.

Calder's health tends to be the same - in a constant state of cold. I cannot wait for this Winter to be over, for Spring to come - and also, for Calder to be with me in the Summer. Hopefully then we will see Calder without some sort of cold for even just a week. Right now he has yet another cough - thankfully it doesn't wake him at night but when he coughs in the morning, it's not so nice sometimes.

Anyway, I am very much looking forward to the Summer when I can spend some time with Calder around the city - going to the Zoo, spending time with friends on playdates and hopefully hanging out in our (fenced?) yard.

Here are some pictures over the last couple of weeks - some of my current favourites. :) You can be sure that these ones will turn up in a scrapbook somewhere or some scrapbook project. :) Oh by the way, I am now a scrapbook consultant, teaching people how to scrapbook and selling quality scrapbook products. I just received yesterday a hardcover-bound book that I had done of my Pregnancy Journal, and boy, am I happy with the results. I know that one day, Calder, or maybe his children, might enjoy reading this.

I hope everyone has a wonderful last week of February - can you believe it's almost March? Where are you Spring??

Calder loves using the kitchen stools as a jungle gym and a place to sit.

I think Calder was watching Hockey here. His interest is not waning!

Calder relaxing and having a bottle.

Calder's actually beginning to pose a bit for me - if I say 'cheese', he'll say it back!

I couldn't resist this T-shirt when I saw it. I love Calder in this colour, too.

Calder was so happy to have Dora start on TV - and also said 'cheese' for me here. But notice how he doesn't look away from the TV. That Dora!!

Calder's First Haircut!

Gary and I finally decided (ok, it was me who found it hard to finally decide) to take Calder to get his hair cut. While I had just trimmed up the bangs to the best of my non-expert abilities, the back of his hair was just too long and straggly. He definitely gets his hair from his Mom. So, it was time to go to the Little Tots Hair Salon. After a long wait, we finally got it done. I swear, that salon is busier than Adult hair salons. :)

While you can't really tell from the front that he got a hair cut because I had already trimmed the bangs, it's a world of difference in the back. He now looks like a little boy, not my baby boy anymore! I feel happy and sad all at once!

All done and a happy (and handsome) boy!
