It has been a very eventful week and a half... Colby had his 9 month photos at Sears last weekend, which were a lot of fun. Although pictures were a lot easier when he was much younger and didn't move!! LOL! He liked to crawl around and push the toys around instead of sitting/standing still! Too fun... I'm excited to see them when I pick them up in about a week and a half... I'll post a new photo ASAP! That day while we were at the mall, we went looking for a snowsuit for Colby. I cannot believe how little selection there is!! It's unreal! We really had one somewhat-reasonably-priced snowsuit to choose from. There are tons to choose from after size 3 or 4, but very few for infants. We did end up finding one and he looks really cute in it! Now for the winter boots and we're all set for the snow to fly! Well, okay, maybe not ready quite yet!
Since many of you know of our bad sleeping habits lately, we decided to finally try and 'break' Colby of his night waking for a bottle in order to fall back asleep. At first, I chalked it up to a growth spurt, but then after a couple of weeks, realized that it can't possibly still be a growth spurt and he was in a bad habit. So Tuesday night, we let him cry it out. Not so fun. He cried for about an hour in the very early hours of the morning, but eventually fell back to sleep. It was one of the hardest things to lay there and listen to, but we knew it had to be done. Since then, after that one really tough night, it's been back to a wonderful 10 - 10 1/2 hours of sleep for the little man! Yay!!
Colby never ceases to amaze us... on Thursday, he was at my parents' house because Grandma picked him up from the dayhome, as I was coaching our Cross Country Team at a race. He watched his cousin, Landon, for a minute, then decided that he too could climb up the stairs!! Unreal! So yep, he can now climb their entire flight of stairs... it amazes me how he learned to do this, as we don't have stairs in our house that he can use! Those little guys have lots of surprises for us! He got one more tooth today - that makes 3!! I know that his top teeth (about 4 of them) have been bothering him for a while... all you can see is white on his upper gums. Poor guy... I'm sure they're going to start popping out here quickly in the next few days!
An update on the finger burn and dressing changes... we're good to go!!! Colby had his last check-up today at the Wound Clinic and everything looks great and healed perfectly. There is no more need for dressings anymore, which is such a relief! Strangely, while it didn't seem bother him at all, it was a huge nuissance to do the daily dressing changes. Glad he's all healed up and back to 100%!
That's about it... September is always a very crazy month in the school world, so I've been working a lot trying to keep up. I have a really great group of kids and am loving my new staff! They've been so welcoming and I work at a truly great little school! Oh yeah, some fun, exciting news... my class and I were on TV tonight!!! The meteorologist from CTV News, Josh Classen, came to visit my class and the other 5/6 class this afternoon!! He taught us a lot about weather, which is what we're studying in Science right now. He was a lot of fun and we got to be the first CTV Weather Watchers of the new school year!! Such a great time!!
Anyway, have a great weekend everyone!! Enjoy the last bit of sunshine before the cold begins to settle in!
Gerry, Lesley and Colby
