The princess and the pauper
Henry is (finally) sleeping better, Spring is enroute and I am starting to think about what seeds to start germinating! Will this be the year I actually have some time to spend in the garden? I do hope so!

Sir Nudesey
Is there anything a baby likes more than an after-bath nekkid romp around the house? Here is Sir Nudesey pressing his man-bits all over the couch while attempting to get the phone. (The phone is his very favourite chew toy - he likes to fill the gap between the buttons with drool).
Hard to believe he's almost 10 MONTHS! Time flies!

My bathing beauties
Sometimes my heart is so full of love for these beautiful imps, I can hardly bear it.
(This usually happens once they are asleep for the night.)
Behold the bathing beauties.

Christmas re-cap
Despite both kiddies being sick, we had a lovely Christmas. 17 people here for dinner on the 24th, with all the associated chaos and calamity. Seriously. I'm buying all the adults noise-canceling headphones for xmas next year.
The 25th included a quiet morning here with the kids, then supper with Grandma and Grandpa in Lakefield.
This is the first year that Evy has really 'gotten' it. She was SO super excited that she opened her presents in about 4 minutes flat and then just went ahead and opened Henry's too. Luckily he didn't mind too much. Here are a few photos of the festive magic from the xmas morning.
The rest of the week has flown by with some boxing day shopping, a visit to Toronto, more sickness for the kids. Will the snot ever stop? [New Year's resolution #42 - more Vitamin D!].
So, now it's Jan 1st. The Christmas Tree is outside for the birdies to play in for the rest of the winter. Unfortunately, the bulk of its needles were left inside. The decorations have all been put away, and it's back to reality starting on Tuesday when Rob's back at work.
In other news, Henry is officially 9 months old and he celebrated today by doing a victory lap around the living room. He's crawling like a champ with an occasional misadventure where he ends up under the coffee table. (Better than the other day when I came in here and he was hanging from his teeth on the edge of said table. Boys are weird). Speaking of teeth, he clearly misunderstood the song 'All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth' because he suddenly has another 2 up there, 6 in total now. All the better for clamping onto furniture with, I suppose.
And, Miss E is offically 3.5 today! 6 months until she's 4... and then it'll almost be time for SCHOOL! The time sure has flown by.
I hope that all of you had a jolly Christmas too (with less teething and snot)! Here's to 2012 bringing even more adventures for one and all!

Two sleeps
Two more sleeps 'til the big guy is here! Someone (Miss Evy Maude) is more than a little excited. Here she is at playgroup last week - super shy all of the sudden when the big guy himself arrived unannounced. Pretty cute.

7 months (and 1 day)
My beautiful blue-eyed boy is 7 months old! How did that happen? He is a lovely, happy, smiley, and very handsome wee man. The only complaint? He's still pretty sure he's a newborn baby and needs to eat every 3 hours overnight. One look at his hefty thighs tells me that he's not wasting away, so I shall live in hope that this trend will come to an end. Soon.
Lucky for him that he's so darn cute, otherwise, he'd be sleeping out in Rob's workshop in a pile of wood shavings. 7 months! Onwards to walking, talking, and crazy shenanigans!

Sweetness
Sometimes I look at Henry and don't know WHO he is! I joke that they must have given me the wrong baby at the hospital, though I'm pretty sure he's mine. But where the heck did this blue-eyed-super-blonde baby come from?
Here is the little man. Note the mystery dimple (where did that come from?!) and his features which are similar to Rob's sometimes, similar to mine when he's crying (according to my mom - thanks Alice) and his sweet little face. Right now, my theory is that he's a mix of both of his grandpas. That explains the blue eyes, at least. Now, if only I could pinpoint who's responsible for the 'farting like a dirty old man' gene that he's inherited.
Saturday was his 6-month 'birthday'. I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. He's halfway to a year, and will be crawling, popping teeth out and saying his first words soon. For some reason, time seems to travel at warp speed with your second kid.
Six whole months. Although I don't feel like it, I must be getting more sleep, because right now I feel like I could do it all over again. (Quick, somebody get Rob the phone number for the vasectomy clinic!!)

Beach Babe
There are many beautiful beaches within a few minutes' drive of Alice and Jim's cottage - all of them fabulous. We hit one of my favourites today.
Madame E was in heaven and sobbed when it was time to leave. No doubt we'll stop by again to enjoy a few more moments like these:

For Daddy
Today, Rob turns 36.
Happy Birthday!!
No doubt he is struggling with the knowledge that he's on the fast slope to 40, but he's also without the shining lights of his life - the kidlets and his amazing wife.
Here's a little photo to brighten your day, Rob. We're missing you and I hope you're not having too much fun in the quiet peaceful house. And with the bathroom renovation that you're doing while we're away! (See, doesn't he know how to partayyy?!)
Ev and Henry wishing Daddy a happy b-day
May the year ahead bring all that you wish for - hopefully including more undisturbed sleep! Sending lots of love from New Brunswick! oxoxo

The 35-month old and the 2-month old
June 1st! Summer is here (in every way except on the calendar) and we've been adjusting to the new steamy temperatures! (Why did we decide not to get air conditioning when we got the new furnace? Something about reducing our carbon footprint, saving energy, blah blah blah... sorry, I can't remember, I'm too darn hot).
Hard to believe Mr Henry is 2 months old! And also hard to believe that our little pipsqueak is turning 3 in a month! (I pulled out her summer clothes from last year and she's still fitting into the shorts and capris - some of them size 12 months). Oh well, she actually eats her dinner a few nights a week, so I'm not too worried. Now if I could just convince her that pooping on the toilet is cool, we'd be set.
Here are the two cuties having a snuggle:
I think we've reached a turning point (knocking heavily on many species of wood) with Mr H. The days are more good than bad, and the nights are steadily improving (he slept a 5-hour stretch last night - woot woot!). And, Miss E makes me laugh every day. She's a pretty funny girl, and her imagination is into overdrive. We spend most nights re-writing the plotlines of her favourite books and her giggle is just about the best noise in the world.
So, what's with all this love and chipperness? (I swear it's not just delirium from sleep deprivation... or, wait... actually, it probably is.) The only dark cloud on the horizon is the fact that Al & Jim aka Granny and Poppa are loading up the truck from the loooong drive to New Brunswick. Sob! They leave on Sunday and we're missing them already! Must go right now and book our trip to visit them in July.
Happy June to one and all, and enjoy this fine (finally!) weather.
