The future's so bright...

I've got to wear shades.

"No Eat Chocolate"

Story Time!

I'm busy cleaning up the house and trying to put away all the gifts, Colin's working away on his computer and Robbie was in his room playing with his new toys. After several minutes I realize Robbie wasn't making any noise, so Colin goes in to check on him. "Heather, come see this! He put himself to bed!". We're both awww'ing over his cuteness. I see his little legs hanging out of the bed so I go to cover them up and as I pull the sheets over his feet his little head pops up..... it's COVERED in chocolate! He went underneath the tree, picked up a tin of chocolates my girl friend had made for us, went to his bedroom and hid under the covers because he knows he's not suppose to have it. It was all over his linens, his face, his legs (he was in a diaper and shirt) and hands. He looked at us and all he could say was "no eat chocolate".

I'm a big brother!!

Robbie is such a great big brother! He loves to give Lana kisses, hugs and tickles. He shows Lana how to take her Vitamin D and gets new diapers for her.

Robbie's also started to poop on the potty! So far he's done it 3 separate times, timbits have become a great incentive!

Pressure

Geez, I'm even feeling pressure to give birth from my 2 year old!

"We go see Grampie?"
"We see Grampie when baby comes"

Let it Snow!

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" I can't tell you how excited I am to pass on the Christmas traditions, stories, sights, sounds and smell that come with Christmas. Robbie can associate Santa, snowman, Rudolph and reindeer!

We went to Walmart and he got another rubber duck to add to his collection (he already has a yellow, blue and green one) this time they had holiday ducks, so Robbie chose a snowman duck... he is in love with this thing. Everything is "snowman"; snow = snowman, snow boots = snowman boots, etc etc.

He loves the Christmas tree and constantly asks for "lights".

We've had snow the past couple of days and today was the first time I was able to bundle Robbie up and send him outside with his Daddy while I snapped pictures. I apologize for the lack of pictures lately, lets just say my flexibility and balance isn't what it use to be.

The laundry basket has oh so many uses!

A Visit from Grammie and Grampie

We had another great visit from Grammie and Grampie, unfortunately it wasn't so great for Colin. He had gone to the Oilers game the night before and must have eaten an under cooked burger as he was up the whole night vomiting and kept going well into the afternoon. He was throwing up so much that he popped a bunch of blood vesicles all over his face, it looks/ed like he had purple freckles all over his cheeks, eyes, forehead, etc. I think they're kind of cute but Colin thinks otherwise.

Grammie and Grampie came with a bag FULL of goodies for us. They got us a reusable advent calendar that Robbie absolutely loves, Grammie finished the baby's blanket (it's gorgeous!) and they brought their stockings for a template. I'm going to be making the family our stockings this year and I'm really excited to make them, stockings were always THE BEST part of Christmas and I hope to pass on the love of stockings to my kids.

This was the last visit from my family until our new baby decides to make her grand entrance... quite exciting!
