Family, Friends, Food and FUN!

Well 2006 is certainly getting off to a good start!  What better way to start the new year than with a PARTY!  Lindsay’s 2nd birthday party was a blast last weekend.  She was utterly spoiled by everyone in the family and by her friends too!  She’s a very lucky little girl!  We also spent some time visiting with Grandpa Mark, Lisa and Sam last weekend.  We don’t get to see them very often, so it’s nice to catch up!  As always, we took way too many pictures of everything, so there are another 100+ to peruse.

I also promised an update on Ayden’s 6-month appointment.  Everything is on track developmentally.  The concerns we had about his head seem to be correcting themselves without any special help.  He’s a whopping 16lbs 10oz, and 25.5inches long (both numbers are 25th percentile)… however his head measured 45cm which puts him in the 75th percentile - - stop snickering!  It’s not funny!  The pediatrician just said that he has lots of brains, and we’re sticking with THAT story!  He just has some growing into his head to do, that’s all.  Other than that, he hated the shots - and who wouldn’t.  The next appointment is at 9 months.  Until then….

Settling in Nicely

  Ayden is now 5 weeks old WOW!  Chloe and I almost have a routine, then the weekend arrives, and so do the family members.  Don’t get me wrong the company is great, it just kills the routine. 

 Chloe has just enough time in the day to upload, name, and try to give a capiton to the photos, so I’ll try to get you up to speed on our lives from my point of view (The male point of view…. so I may skip over some of the details).  The business is keeping me very busy, but come 6 o’clock I try to get home as fast as possible to relieve Chloe.  Not that she is relieved when I get home, but just an extra set of hands around the house.  Anyone who has had a child knows what I mean.  Yesterday was a pretty hectic day for Chloe, Ayden was very fussy (all day) so she wasn’t able to get as much done around the house as she likes to (too much).   6 pm rolled around  and I got home shortly there after, to spend the evening with the fam.  Chloe told me the days events (details left out) and how Ayden hadn’t given her any time.  Long story short I got home and Ayden and I took a nice long nap!!! YES!!!  Got to get back to work now.  5 weeks WOW!!
