Here are some lost pics from October from my Iphone. Not good quality but at least I have some when my camera battery dies.

These are mainly pics from Maddy’s first birthday/Halloween party potluck at SSI on Sunday. Note our daughter NEVER wanted me to take any pics so they are ones where I’m hiding the camera from her. See, how front and centre she is at the cake. Also, Rohan refused to wear his pirate hat. I picked up my laryngitis there too. Fun.

Also there is a typical pic of Daddy & Son. Many people took this pic thinking it was unusual ha ha! It’s just a day in the life of Rohan & his Daddy.

Amanda invited Edzèa over to make a special Halloween craft yesterday. Here is the creation in process:

Rohan very definitely signed milk to me today. He also copied me over and over again when I signed yes. We were both very excited that we understood each other. He is 7 1/2 months old now. He also loves Edzea’s kindermusic class.

I’ve been feeding him much more solid food now. At the Family Centre yesterday he ate cut up cukes, apple and whole crackers. I’ve been giving him rice cakes all week so we are well on our way to having him eat normal food. He has had pasta now too! His Daddy fed him some spaghetti bolognese at SSI the other day at lunch-Tim went AWOL without Mommy approval. Besides the fact Rohan hasn’t had a bowel movement for 3 days…he seems ok!

Sleep training has also been successful. There was one night of misery and now we have him in the crib all night and he last for about 4/5 sometimes 7 hours stretches between feeds. And as suspected, he likes to sleep in. He usually lasts until 7:30 or 8am if he isn’t awakened by his sister! who still wakes up between 5:30 and 6am. We are going to try putting her to bed later in the evening this weekend to see if that makes a difference.

It’s been a whirlwind month. Here are a variety of pics from this month.

Mom & Bruce visited for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately for them, they came to a sick household and left for Vancouver with colds. It was a challenging week with the kids as Edzea and Rohan both had the stomach flu and then I got it and then Tim and Mom picked up a nasty cold. The weather was nice though. No snow and Bruce was able to watch Tim get out and play soccer until the sickness struck. It’s amazing that we were able to pull off Thanksgiving dinner despite all of this.

Mom brought us lots of yummy baking that we are just now enjoying.

Edzea is going to be a frog for Halloween but Mom introduced her to witches while she was here so here she is in her witch outfit. She couldn’t figure out her broom to begin with. She had it backwards and then when she did get it right she said, “Mommy it doesn’t work!”

This is just brief I will try to write more when I get more time. Here are the pics:

Also, when I was away in Calgary with Rohan, Edzea learned to open doors so Daddy promptly went out and child-proofed the doors. Rohan has 3 teeth now. He cut his right eye tooth two weeks ago. He is moving around a bit on the floor now. Not crawling yet but he certainly tries to rock himself forward and around.
