'Eggstraordinary'

 Here are the kiddies all ready to attend their friend, Sophia's 3rd birthday party!
 I've been DYING for her to wear this outfit...thanks Grandma and Grandpa B  :)
Too bad she didn't have the cardigan on yet....tres cute!
 ....and here, is where our day got 'Eggstraordinary'.  It would appear that sweet baby M.....is totally allergic to eggs!  She hasn't had eggs "straight up" yet....and today she got to try scrambled eggs.  What.A.Mistake.  You never know these things until it happens.  For those of you that might wonder "Hmm, I thought you aren't supposed to give your baby eggs until 1....?"  Well, those are old-school 'rules'....but maybe I kind of like that idea now!!!  The guidelines nowadays suggest eating anything and everything, in tiny pieces....and the only food to avoid until 1, is honey.
She had a pretty immediate reaction....she had only had a few bits and started screaming, crying, coughing, repeat.  At first we thought maybe she had too big of a bite, and it was "stuck".  You know, when you swallow a big piece of dry bread?  Haha.
She just wouldn't stop.  Screaming, coughing...a bit of wheezing, and was getting a rash around her mouth.  Pat convinced me to just ride it out, and she did finally stop and looked a lot better. We went out for a walk to the park, and in an hour so, came out, she ate dinner and I noticed her face was getting red again. I got her undressed for a bath....holy red baby!  She looks like she was suntanning on the beach all day...in the nude!


Looks like a trip to the doctors and allergist are in order.  Boooo.  Poor babycakes.

Little Explorer

 "Hey, look at me!  This is the farthest I've traveled out of the living room by myself!"
Maliya has figured out that she can slide places once she gets to the hardwood!
 "Maaaybe I'm not so sure about all this!"
 "Hmm, what did Lucas bring me?"
"Ok, I'm all good"

Sunny Saturday Fun

What a great Saturday with some of our favourite people....Coley, Gary, and Madisyn!  It was nice and sunny, so we decided to head to the seawall for a walk and play at the park!

 "Cheeeeeese!"
 Lucas' first time drinking from a fountain.  He thought it was the coolest thing!
 Never run with your hands in your pockets when you're 3.
 ...it almost always ends like this!
 "Why don't you want us to go up here?"
"Because you'll break your legs", says Coley.  I agree.

Super Fast

This boys feet do not stop growing! Today he got his first pair of 'real' running shoes.


"See my new kicks?"
"They go super fast!"

10 Months Old!!!

Guuuuuuess who's 10 months old?
Maliya had her, ahem, 9 month check up....ahem....yesterday....and she tipped the scales at 15 lbs, 14 oz. Lucas weighed that around 2.5 months!!!


Miss Cheesy


She would NOT look at the camera. She was just too busy playing.

....and here comes Lucas. Had to be in the picture again...and show off his cool new kicks. We had just gotten home from the store!

"Mom......really? This is MY photoshoot!!!"

"Ahh well, I'll just play with his shoe then"

Preschool!!!

Our big boy had his first day of preschool today! He was soooo excited! There's only 2.5 months left until summer, but we thought he might like trying it out now, rather than waiting until the fall. It was a success!



Silly Kids!
