little video…
i decided to buy a new highchair for Khéna… the one that we had before was just too big and bulky and it took up too much space… so I am trying to sell it…
I decided to buy the new series of fisher-price chairs just because I like the colours… however, it came with a toy…
I can't stand plastic musical toys… but we decided to let Khéna try it and he caught on pretty quickly and now loves it!!!
I have to admit… my like of being able to eat with both hands is surpasses my hate of plastic musical toys… and batteries are always removable…
doc appt’s and bummis….
Yesterday we went to a Well baby visit for all three boys…. the boys hadn’t been in a year and a half so I though that I should bring them in as we were going for Khéna anyways…
First I stopped off to see my grandma and got a few pics with her and the boys.. well…. Colin didn’t want to so he’s not in them…
Isn’t she beautiful! She is 83 BTW 🙂
We the headed to the doc… I don’t do well baby visits often since I don’t really see the point in them since the schedule is really only for vaccines and of course I am completely against routine vaxes, especially for young children whose immune systems do not stand a chance … but I want to make sure to keep our family doc and keep a good relationship with him since he is a great doc and Quebec has a shortage… the exams were brief as they always are, and he is great with kids… talking to them, playing with them, engaging them in conversation… and he said to come back next year with Xavier and Colin…
Khéna’s appt was pretty brief also… He had nothing to say about him being born at home unassisted, though he would have liked a “at birth” weight. He asked his permission to touch him and talked to him during the exam. Khéna was calm through it all… he asked about vit D and Vax and I told him that we won’t be doing them… he asked why… I told him… he said that he doesn’t agree but that it is my choice and left it at that… he doesn’t give vaxes in his office anyways so really it wasn’t a problem… right before he went to weigh him he mentioned the birth weight again saying that it is useful to know if he is gaining… I kind of smirked and said that I am pretty sure that there was no problem….
We got the scale and he understood what I meant… but… he wasn’t the 16 pounds that we thought (Simon weighed him on the bathroom scale on wednesday)… So yesterday, At 7 weeks 3 days, he weighed in at 17 lbs 4 oz…!!!!!! meaning that he has been gaining more than a pound a week! I couldn’t believe it… but then I can… he is heavy and rolly and oh so squishy!!!
After seeing the doc I went to one of my favourite stores….Bummis!!!
They have bins under the counters with things half price so I had fun picking out some new covers… for cheap!!
Here’s what I found… aren’t they great!!!?
Not much to say…
Things are quiet here…
No rants to make, no gripes, no worries.. could sleep a bit more but it is just a question of going to bed earlier. Khéna pretty much sleeps through the night and goes 5-6 hours without nursing… so he is not at all the cause for our lack of sleep…
It is great having Simon home.. he just got the final amounts that we will be getting during his leave and we won’t have a problem…. so until June we are both Stay at home Parents… It makes having three kids a lot easier…
Khéna sleeps a lot and doesn’t like to be out and about too much… he sleeps well in the wrap but only if we are walking a lot… otherwise he would rather be laying on me on the lazyboy.. he doesn’t want to sleep in the Amby either during the day… but in the evening, after the kids are asleep and he has been pottied, I can put him down in there and be get some stuff done…
Though I am in front of the computer most if the day I am limited to one hand because of the way things are set up.. so I don’t do much else but surf, read and I have been updating my website… then I am going to give my blog a fresh look I think…
I have been thinking about homeschooling more and unschooling.. I really need to deschool myself more.. I will be writing a post on some thoughts and fears that I may have….
On another note… Yesterday I bought my first Babyhawk Mei Tai, well really my first MT all together. I am so excited! I decided to go all out and and get it custom made.. I think it is going to look great!!! I can’t Wait to get it!!!!
So here are a few new pics of the boys…
My friend Gen made this hat.. Colin LOVES it!
I didn’t change the colour of Xavier’s eyes… just made the rest B&W
a bit of an update…
I haven’t been around much lately… well not much around anywhere… though I spend most of my day next to the computer.. I don’t type much because I am tired of typing with one hand… so I have just been doing more clicking etc…
We had a nice holiday…. Simon’s mom, sister and her bf came for the eve, we had fondue, exchanged gifts and they stayed the night… the boys had presents waiting for them in the morning…
I got a new Palm which l am having a lot of fun with… and because of a mix up we ended up getting two… so now both Simon & I have one…
Actually after starting this message on the computer, l decided to write the rest on the palm so that it would be easier to write..
Anyway, the holidays were nice… Having Simon at home has also been great… l have really had the chance to babymoon and give Khéna all of my attention… but Xavier and Colin are not lacking attention either…
The boys are all changing so quickly… I took a picture of Xavier yesterday that makes me realize how he is growing… how much he is changing….
He has a new found love now for Playmobil’s and a big bag that l found last year with his pirate ship has kept him busy for two days now… He is almost weaned but not completely. He now goes a week or two without nursing and then comes back for a few days…
Colin has also changed… though the boys can now play together better, they can also fight harder… Colin is still a little joker, he can make us smile in an instant, he has also become very temperamental and very sensitive… I see him taking the role of the middle child…
Colin is in love with trains and was so exicited to get some “Thomas the train” clothes and a new train for his train table…
He still amazes me every day. His vocabulary is amazing which is both great and hard at the same time. Great because we can talk to him and understand him, but it also means that it can be easy to forget that he is still a babe at only 27 months old…
And Khéna… well he just turned a month old yesterday… he is an amazing baby. He is a great sleeper but loves to sleep on mommy… luckily he has a mommy that hates putting him down and who believes that babes should be in arms as much as needed and as much as they want…
EC is doing very well… he just keeps on getting clearer and clearer with his signs… we rarely miss a BM and catch many of his pees…. he is also starting to hold it in more and more until we catch on to what he is trying to tell us…
Khéna also just keeps getting bigger (of course) but he is outgrowing his clothing so fast… footed pj’s need to be 6 months and onsies are 6-9 months…
We have also been all gifted with his first smiles which of course is one of the greatest things… (haven’t caught it on photo yet though)
