My caption on this photo that I put on Facebook captured it all... "Quick, take a picture... Colby is actually sitting for a picture with Jenna!" It doesn't happen very often, but I was so happy that he let me take a photo (or two!) of the two of them on the couch! I thought they looked pretty cute!
January is off to a great start!! We have had a busy week and it has seemed like we haven't been home much. We've had a few playdates, visits with friends, Preschool, Tick Tock Time, and swimming lessons. Colby did really well at Preschool again this week! It's fun seeing the kids from his preschool class in other places, like the playgym and the curling rink of all places! Kind of a funny connection, but Colby enjoyed hanging out with Hayden for a few hours there! He really likes playing and the craft each week! On Friday morning, we went to Tick Tock Time (a song/story program at the PERC building in Stony Plain). Colby enjoys it and often says, "More!" at the end of each song. It's a bit of a juggling act now that Jenna is awake more these days and trying to engage both of them. On Friday evening, Gerry and Colby went to swimming lessons! Both Tick Tock Time and swimming began last week, but Colby was still pretty sick with a cold so we decided not to go. He did great!! He's not such a fan of jumping in from the side of the pool and needs to hold Gerry's hands each time, but I'm sure that will come. He hasn't been in lessons for quite a while now, so he'll continue to improve, I'm sure! I'm glad he enjoys it... and he loved that Daddy went swimming with him (and Mommy, Jenna and Grandma came to watch)!!
Jenna loves to look around at everything and talk, talk, talk!! Her coos make me smile from ear to ear and I love the sounds that she comes up with! I put her in the Exersaucer for the first time this week and she LOVES it! More things to explore and discover, I guess! It's really fun watching Colby show her the toys and explain how they work and what she can do with them! Jenna will be 4 months old next week (I know, already!?!) and goes for her immunizations on Tuesday evening. I'm interested to see how much she has grown and how much she weighs now. She is definitely eating well, so I'm sure she has put on quite a bit of weight and I hope she's growing in length too. She did quite well with the two month needles, so I'm crossing my fingers that these ones aren't too bad too! I hate hearing that dreaded "pain" cry.
This morning, my mom and I took the kids shopping for a bit at WEM and then home to watch curling. Gerry, my dad, and uncle are in a curling bonspiel this weekend in Stony Plain. They have done very well and are playing in the "A Semi-Finals" tomorrow. It was a very close game this afternoon and my dad's last rock won the game with a draw to the button! Whew... intense curling! LOL!
We are definitely enjoying the beautiful weather this past week and have been going for walks and shovelling the driveway quite a bit to get some fresh air! It is supposed to continue to be nice for a while still, so we're looking forward to that! I can't wait until the snow melts, we get a fence built and can play in the backyard! Colby wants to go in the backyard all the time and play with his fire truck, car, dump trucks, balls, sand box, and the list goes on, but I have to remind him that sadly, everything is covered in snow. He is excited to get a bike this spring! Every time we go to Toys R Us, he wants to get one off of the shelf and take it for a test drive! I guess we'll have to get one once the snow disappears!
Have a great rest of your weekend (even though it's Sunday tomorrow already!) and enjoy this beautiful (although a bit bizarre!) January weather. Gerry and I are really looking forward to our Vegas trip... we leave in just over 2 weeks (February 1st)! It will be a great little getaway for the two of us and a fun way to celebrate Gerry's 30th birthday! We are very grateful for our moms who will each be taking care of our kids for a couple days while we are away. Thank you both SO much!!
Take care and talk soon!
xoxo Gerry, Lesley, Colby and Jenna
