Dayhome Found!!

Well, as you can tell by my very discreet subject to this post, we have found a dayhome for Colby!!! So exciting and a HUGE relief, since I wasn't making much progress with people I was phoning. I kept being told that either they were at full capacity or more often than that, he was too young and they didn't want to take an infant. Anyway, it all happened very quickly (within a few hours!), but worked out great!! Laura actually lives down the street from us in Westerra, which is way too perfect. They are absolutely amazing people who genuinely love and care for the children in their home. So great to see!! We have no hesitations leaving Colby in their home. Colby and I went over for a visit today to see Laura with the other kids and he did great! He was playing with the other kids and she held him and he didn't mind one bit. :)

Well, no teeth yet, but I sure hope one cuts through soon. He has been on the whiny side these days and his cheeks are still quite rosy. Hopefully soon!! We are hangin' out in the pool quite a bit lately, which has been so much fun!! Colby absolutely LOVES the water, loves splashing, and has a great time in his kiddie pool or the bathtub! I'm trying to convince Gerry to come with us one day to the Tri, as we've only been a couple times. But I think he can now enjoy it a little more that he's a bit older. We had a kiddie pool party at Kristy's with our Mommy Group on Thursday. It was a lot of fun and was pretty cute seeing all the kids in their swimsuits and playing together in the pools! We'll have to do it again sometime... we're thinking of doing a picnic and pool party at the Stony Plain Outdoor Pool soon!

I can't believe it's July already and my little baby is almost 7 months old. It's unreal to think that our nephew, Blake, was 7 months old when Colby was just born!! And now they're both getting so big!! I'm trying to soak up every minute at home this summer, since I'm headed back to school at the end of August. Sometimes I just sit and watch Colby sleep! I know, sounds very corny, but true. I love watching him sleep, so quiet and still. He does not like sleeping on his back anymore (or anytime on his back for that matter!) and likes to sleep on his side or stomach. The naps are definitely improving with age, and we're up to a couple of naps a day, both being about 1 1/2 - 2 hours long!! Wow, the amount of stuff I can accomplish in that time compared to 20 or 30 minute catnaps!! :) Now we're just working on the sleeping past 5:30 or 5:45 in the morning! Hopefully this gets better soon... Colby has one tired mommy!!

We have quite a few camping trips planned this summer, so I'm looking forward to using the trailer more and more. So much fun to be outside and travelling around! Anyway, take care and enjoy the sunshine (although personally, I'm kind of enjoying this bit of rain to cool things off a bit!!)
