2 month immunization: Rohan is now 13 lbs 5 oz and 90% percentile for weight.
23 ” and 75th percentile for length.
Doing well and cooed for the entire appt until he got his 3 needles. Ouch and was fussy for the day. Poor little guy.
So we spent the day at home today as we were trying to have Edzèa get over her cold before her “way too big” birthday party on Saturday.
Key points from today. When Tim and I went into her room at 7am to sing “Happy Birthday” to her, she asked: where’s my cake? My Cake? See it. I want to see it.
She repeated this over and over again until she was distracted by her pile of presents on the dining room table and her anticipation of waffles for breakfast.
She received: a pair of Flower gumboots from Bumpa, she will be receiving a tricycle from Grandma & Grandpa (pending the re-opening of the channel on the Mackenzie River), lots of cute clothes from Bumpa & Nana as well as a pile of Dr.Seuss books and two great puzzles. Mom & Dad gave her an easel with a chalkboard on one side, a bubble machine, sunglasses and the big hit of the day: soft pom pom balls which she played with for the majority of the day.
Since she asked for a cake and I wasn’t planning on having one for her thinking she wouldn’t notice…(oops…I forget who my daughter is)-I ended up getting a cake and putting a #2 candle on it. We brought it in and she was happy but commented on two things afterwards…
“Where are my kids?” and looked around kind of forlornly. We tried to explain that all of her “kids” would be coming on Saturday. And then she commented “1 candle”. She knew she should have had two. Who knew????
Anyways, this is a quick and dirty post just to mark down the fun moments.
Oh, also, when she and Nana were playing for a while and Nana commented on her pretty new skirt. She replied” It’s from the Sally Ann.”
Which it wasn’t!!! I actually bought this outfit new for a change but we got a good laugh out of it.
Here are some pics from Georgia’s 3rd Birthday party today. Princess theme. There is also a pic of Rohan happily having his bath last night.
Here are some photos from the start of our trip. These are mainly from the visit with the Okotoks Froehlers. Pictures of Rohan with his Froehler grandparents and Alsip cousins and Auntie Clare. From there we went to Ottawa. I will upload the rest of those pics another day. Busy day as we just arrived home and unpacking/laundry/cleaning house takes priority.
New pics of brother and sister and Daddy.
We’ve had a very quiet weekend. The weather has been a bit colder so we didn’t get out much. We were able to move Rohan into his room. We’ll try to have him sleep there tonight and see how it goes. He’s 5 1/2 weeks old now so we figure he can move out of his parents bedroom now!
Edzea is now completely using the potty on her own (meaning she takes herself there and tries to do it all without telling you).The only problem is that she tries to wipe herself and pull her pants up when she is still dirty. She wants to be completely independent but she isn’t quite ready yet.
We had Maria and Mathieu over for a playdate this morning so that Daddy could sleep for a bit. Rohan slept through the playdate and Mathieu and Edzea had a good time. Maria is due on Aug.4th.
My friend Katherine had Gina and I and babies over for dinner and chick flicks last night. It was nice to get out and do something social without the toddlers as it’s hard to have regular conversations when the toddlers are present!
Rohan continues to be a doll.
He smiled at his Daddy for the first time last night just after Tim put him in the bath. BIG SMILE and Tim was so happy and then the fire hose erupted!!! straight up into the air …it was hilarious!! and Edzea thought so too!
Here are some new photos of Edzèa and Rohan. One of the pics of Edzèa is dressed up in her gift from Auntie Karen…dress-up hat and scarf! She also received a foam clown nose but wouldn’t put it on yet…
Here are some pics from our Easter weekend from the SSI Easter Egg Hunt to our own Easter Egg Hunt for Edzea to our Easter Pot luck party at our house. Enjoy.
O k, well, I know that Rohan smiled at me for a long time one night when he was 1 week old but since no one else saw it, some people don’t believe it counts. So he’s been smiling on and off for the past few days and I didn’t catch the best ones on film but here are a few pics of his first smiles as well as a portrait or two. One of the smiles is more like a grimace but I’ll catch better ones soon! He also giggles in his sleep. It must be nice to have such pleasant dreams!
Well it’s been a busy month. Grandma Froehler just left today. Here are some pics from the past month. We are on our own with the two kids now. Luckily, Rohan continues to be an easy baby.
Edzèa has a terrible cold right now so she isn’t quite so easy to deal with when she is sick but we managed ok today without Grandparents. I’m going to use up everything in the freezer over the next month I’m sure.
We’ve had lots of lovely gifts and visits from friends which are much appreciated. Edzèa loves her little brother and it’s hard to keep her away from him while she is coughing away. I am hoping that he doesn’t catch her cold but we’ll wait and see. I’m on antibiotics at the moment so maybe that is saving the two of us!
The Easter bunny comes this weekend and Edzèa is excited about this. We have a group Easter Egg Hunt/Party planned for Saturday at Tim’s work. Our weather is improving again. We are actually forecasted to have positive temperatures this week! Yay!
Enjoy the pics and I’ll write when I get a chance.
