Comparisons

Okay not exactly the same age here. Bobs is 1.5 months younger but they have the same bottom teeth going on. I am hoping to get a shot of Mads doing a similar smile. 

Being Like Big Brother

Mads just wants to be like his big brother. Walk like him, drink milk like him, and play with his toys.

 Today he drank some milk out of Bob's sippy cup when Bobs went onto his juice sippy. My mother said I gave up mothers milk when I was around 8 month and wanted my own pink cup to drink from. Mads is still drinking mothers milk for now, and I hope to keep on with it until he is a year old. Then he can be drinking cows milk regularly.

How We Spend a Cold Monday Afternoon

It is cold here, especially with the windchill. I was very sick yesterday and Daddy was sick the days before. Now that I am a bit better we went to the library and got some books and DVDs. We are also colouring, and eating in the dining room.

I would really like to redesign this dining room once the kids are a bit older and once we get hardwood flooring on the main floor of the house. I can see us spending a lot of time in here as a family with many meals and many activities by the fireplace.

My Baby is Growing So Quickly

Standing Up

Mads likes to crawl and pull himself up to standing position. Unfortunately Bobs comes by and pushes him over.

Sarah's Baby Shower

Sarah is having a baby (girl we are pretty sure) in late January. KK and I hosted a shower for her. KK and Sarah have hosted my showers and have done such amazing jobs.

We made her a silly hat out of tissue paper. We joked to her British mother that now Sarah was ready to head to a British wedding, or the horse races.

I found a baby carriage pinata for her to smash. Her sister in law is from Guatamala and I asked her afterwards if we did any of it right. No we didn't.

It was KK's idea to decorate the Christmas tree with baby items. One of the guests thought it was for real.

One of Sarah's friends made Sarah's belly look tiny! She was due only a week before Sarah. We wish them all the best!

New Year's Eve and JJ's birthday!
