Breana's 5th Birthday

Well, our little baby girl officially turned 5 on Saturday. I can't believe it! It feels like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital, and now, she's 5! Happy Birthday Sweetie!

She decided she wanted to go swimming for her birthday. So we headed to the Sportsplex to swim. We had a blast. All the kids had a lot of fun going down the waterslide, climbing the climbing mountain, and splashing around! We originally only planned to swim for a couple of hours, but we ended up swimming for 3 hours! The kids were just having too much fun!

After swimming, we went back to our place to open presents and have cake. The kids went wild playing downstairs, and then we fed them cake, right before supper, so they were pretty hyped up on sugar! Most of the families stayed for supper. We ordered pizza and had salad.

All in all, it was a wonderful day. And my mom says it was a lot nicer of a day than it was 5 years ago. It was very cold the day Breana was born (apparently). Of course I wouldn't know, because I was on bed rest like 4 weeks before she was born!

Anywhoo, here are the pictures from her birthday! Enjoy!!

(The pictures are in reverse order...and I don't feel like fixing them!)

Sorry for the inconvience.

I know, I know...

It's been way too long since I've uploaded some pictures for all to see. We have been very busy with gymnastics, preschool, swimming lessons, and planning someone's (Breana's) birthday party next week. I can't believe she is going to be 5 already! It's so hard to believe. And I also can't believe that Seth is already 8 1/2 months old. He is getting to be such a little man. He is getting himself around pretty good. I wouldn't say he is crawling, more like putting his hands on the floor and pulling himself around. I guess it helps that we have laminate flooring and it is slippery. I think if we had carpet, he'd be crawling by now! We have also hit another milestone...Seth now has 2 teeth! He got his first one on the 26th of January and his second on on the 1st of February.

Anyways, on with the pictures. I know there are lots of them. They include the new teeth, skating, swimming lessons, gymnastics and other misc. pictures.

Enjoy!

6 Months Old

Yes, it's hard to believe! Seth is already 6 months old. Seems like yesterday we found out we were pregnant. Wow, how time flies! Seth had his doctor's appointment on Monday. He weighed in at 16 pounds 13 ounzes and 27 1/4 inches long. He is the same length as Breana was at this age, but 6 ounzes smaller! For a little boy who was over a pound heavier at birth! The crazy thing is, his head circumfrance is that of a 1 year old!!! He gets that from his daddy!!! He got his needles and did wonderful. He only cried while the needles were in, and then gave the Dr. a really dirty look! Oh, the personality!

Breana is doing great. Right now, she is spending 3 nights at my parents house because I was busy with a CGA exam. She is all done gymnastics for now. She absolutely adored gymnastics! She did so well! I can tell she will be the teachers pet no matter what type of school/sports she participates in! She has 2 more classes of preschool before Christmas and then we have a break. In January, we are planning on re-enrolling her in gymnastics on Tuesdays, she has preschool on Thursday afternoons, and she is enrolled in swimming lessons after that. Busy girl at 4 1/2!

Like I said earlier, I just wrote my FA4 exam last night. I'm 98% sure I'll probably have to write that one over again. I don't think I did too well on it. Oh well. I came down with the flu Saturday night, so I was out of commission until Monday. No excuses, I just don't think I studied well enough. sigh!!!!

Breana got to see Santa on Sunday at the Santa brunch in Oak Lake. Terry said when she went up to him, she gave him 2 big hugs, so big that she almost choked him! What a sweetheart! She had a blast at the brunch. She decorated cookies, sat on Santa's knee, got a flower balloon, and did some shopping for daddy and me. After the brunch, her and Terry went and celebrated Tyler's 5th birthday. And again, Seth and I had to miss it because I was sick. Being sick sucks, if no one already knew that!

Terry is doing good. He is still going to the gym 4 days a week. Work is kinda slow, they aren't selling a whole lot with the exchange rate like it is now, but they had a little bit of a spurt last week. We just got dumped on with snow, so hopefully that will get everyone in snowmobiling mood and they will get busy right away!

Anyways, I finally have some time, so I thought I would write what is going on with us. I better get back to cleaning my house. It's in desperate need of it!

Take care and Happy Holidays

His first food...

We fed Seth rice cereal last night for the first time. He sure liked it. He gobbled it up as quickly as I could spoon it to him. And when I didn't spoon it quick enough, he complained! He kept trying to put the plastic bib in his mouth, so that was always in the way of me feeding him, so he complained some more!

I was hoping that the cereal might help with the sleep patterns, but if last night is any indication, we're in for some very long nights! He went to bed around 9:30, and the only hour on the clock that he didn't wake up, was the 2 o'clock hour! Needless to say, I'm a little tired today!

Breana is doing very well in her gymnastics. They had an "I Can Do" session last week where they received a progress report on what they could do, and low and behold, she can do everything! She enjoys gymnastics very much. It will be hard when it is over in December!

Another thing that she has excelled in is her bike riding. She can now start and stop very well, and do lots of turns, and even stands up while peddling! She caught on to the 2-wheeler very fast and really enjoys going for bike rides now!

Mom, myself and the 2 kids are off to Winnipeg for a couple of days tomorrow to do some shopping. Watch out Tall Girl, Old Navy, and A Child's Place, we're coming in!!!

4 Months Old

First day of preschool







Seth is now 4 months old. It is so hard to believe...it has gone by so quickly! Hr has his 4 month appt yesterday, and his stats are:

Weight: 14 lbs 6 oz
Height: 25.5 inches
Head circ.: 17.75 inches (wowzers, that's a big head!!)

He is doing great! He isn't rolling over yet (back to front), but is close. He cranks his head around and gets on his side. I'm thinking another week or so and he'll do it!

He has finally started to laugh. I actually caught Breana making him laugh on camera today, so if I can figure out how to post video, I will.

We were out at my parents place on Sunday and Breana had a big accomplishment. She learned how to ride a bikw with no training wheels! She did very goof for her first time.

She is a busy little girl. She does gymnastics Tuesday evenings for 45 minutes, and is in pre-school on Thursday afternoons. She absolutely loves both! Her best friend, Tyvek, is in both activities with her, so they have lots of fun together.

Here are a few pictures to tide you over for a while !
