R is 6 weeks!

As usual time is passing by quite quickly. Our baby is now 6 weeks of age and growing, growing, growing:

17.5 lbs

24.5 in tall

Smiles can be coerced if you make eye contact & talk in a high sing-song voice. The cooing is beginning and it's incredibly sweet.

As I write this he is sleeping in the sling and once in a while sucking his thumb, which I find sweet as well. Self soothing is a wonderful talent!

So much for our little 8lb 13oz babe...apparently being strictly breastfed is a the key to fast growth or is this due to the milk being actual whip cream? Definately a homogenized version.

Canada Day

140 yrs old. Still a teenager really. I wasn't the most festive Canadian this weekend...there was no flag cake or matching red tshirts. Friday we attended Stage West, which was a fantastic production. So fun! Canadian music from the 50's until now. There was much laughing, chair dancing, a little singing along and wishing choir was like a StageWest production.
Saturday morning found us packing the trailer and heading "westward ho" for a weekend of camping. Our first family of four camp out. We've all returned in one piece. No one fell in the river, and the children were not carried off for a feast by the abundant & mutant mosquitos. Therefore we will definately attempt this again. On our way home, my favorite husband asked what I would do differently next time we go camping.....nothing, the baby was a breeze & the toddler did really well all things considered... I guess just ensure we have booked into a family oriented location.
Camping Quote of the Weekend: "B......W is playing with the woodhammer". (aka Axe....from our 4 yr old friend "Rock Star")
