BOO! Happy Halloween!

Hello Everyone!
Tonight was Halloween and I dressed up like an Elephant!
Aren't I just too cute?
Mommy Gave me this little kitty in a Pumpkin for my first Halloween and I played with it for a while, but I became more interested in...
CANDY!
I went to visit Opa squared and Uncle Jon and Uncle Jon gave me an Oh Henry bar...my first bar of chocolate!


Mommy took it away though, and ate it herself....How mean! Just because I don't have teeth doesn't mean I don't have feelings!

GOODNIGHT!
And Happy Boo!!

My "Punkin" in the Pumpkins!

Yesterday afternoon we made a little trip to 'Pingles Farm Market' just a little north of Oshawa. Jay 'picked' out his pumpkin and of course we had to do a mini-photo shoot. He was so excited to be outside, there were so many new things to look at and to touch. I tried to keep him from licking and chewing on the pumpkins (ewww!) as best I could. We had to prop him up between a few pumpkins because he couldn't quite keep himself up...that, and it made a really cute picture!

I am so lucky

I am so lucky to have a husband like Christopher.
He's such a wonderful daddy to Jay.

Every day while I go off to work, Chris stays home with Jay and he's so good to him. I couldn't be any luckier to have such a great man. And Jay has no idea how lucky he is to have such a loving and devoted daddy!

Various pictures of my sweetie!

FEED ME!

Jay had his FIRST meal this week!
We had tried to feed him a little cereal earlier on this month, but he wasn't into it...he had no interest and was having more fun spitting the cereal at me than trying to ingest it.

He's so cute when he eats, see the second picture for what I mean. He makes these sweet little faces, as if to say "hmmm...i wonder what's in this?"

We're doing good! Jay has his 4 - 8 ounce bottles plus a meal of rice cereal every day and he's doing great!

Baby in a Box

Saturday morning, October 22nd.
As I was still sleeping (thank you Chris!), my father and mother abducted my sweet baby and put him in a cardboard box!

He had a blast!

Opa twirled him around the floor in the box and though he was really unsure about it at first, he started to have a little fun. Thank goodness someone got it on film!

PHOTOS!

Hello There...It's been SO long since I've added anything to my blog, I feel bad...so I have a HUGE pile of pictures to add as well as so many milestones to tell you about.

Here are a few of Jay with his "Opa's" Opa 'squared' (my Opa) and Opa (my father)

Are you confused yet?!

Mama and Son time

Jay and I were just hanging out on the floor (yes...on the floor) again just talking to each other and cuddling a little.
Jay was telling me all about his day with daddy and how much he misses his mama. To which I said I missed him more and more every moment that I'm away from him, but how happy I was that daddy can watch him while I was gone.
Jay is such a sweet little baby. I am such a lucky girl to have such a healthy, happy, beautiful son.

Must... eat... finger...

Nooooo...somebody isn't starting to teethe...

Yummy.

Hanging out on the floor...

Yesterday, Jay, Christopher and I hung out on the floor in Jay's room.
We set up Jay's 'aquarium' gym and let him go at it with the hanging fishes and the musical kick ball...it was definetely a sight to behold. Jay has gotten very good at swatting the living daylights out of the plastic fishies. He also gets this very 'serious' look of deep concentration on his face when he's playing with the fishes. He puckers his little mouth and flares his nostrils (in what Christopher calls his 'dragon face') and just bubbles and coo's until he's good and done with the fish beating.

BIG BOY HIGHCHAIR!

So...The Beast eats with the rest of us!!!
Actually, he's been eating with the family for a while now. We first put him in the highchair to eat with us when he was around 11 weeks old. He used to sleep right through dinnertime, but since he's cut out that nap altogether, we didn't think it was nice or fair to keep him in the other room...so we wheeled him into the kitchen to watch us eat!
He has the coolest highchair! All these toys attached to it, making noises and bubbling fishy things swimming in his (as opa calls it) "laptop".

He watches us eat, he chews on his safety straps, he drools everywhere and just LOVES to be with us in the kitchen. I don't think it'll be long until Jay decides he wants to try what we're having!

The Littest Et-Tet-Tet

In case you're wondering what the HECK "et-tet-tet" is, it's what I used to call an elephant when I was very little. I guess it was really cute...LOL!

Anyway, yesterday Chris Jay and I had a good day, a nice outing doing some stuff for Opa (my dad) and then we came home to relax. Jay and I were in the middle of watching our daily dose of Oprah when Oma (my mom) came home and rushed into our space carrying some stuff for Jay (as always!).

She produced this awesome aquarium light up monitor thingeemajig for Jay's crib...and this absolutely HILARIOUS elephant costume for Halloween. She said she 'couldn't resist' and that it was only 'eleven dollars, so if you don't wanna use it, it's no skin off my back'...(which kinda means, I love it, wear it, if you don't, I'll be crushed).

So...in true mommy fashion, I zipped Jay into the costume and all of a sudden, this little boy emerged, the most perfect little elephant there ever was!

Chris got a good kick out of it too!

I have to admit, I do like the costume, but I am kinda hung up on getting him a shark costume. But I guess that all depends!

HAPPY BABY!

I'm so happy because I get to sleep whenever I want to! And eat whenever it's pleasing to me!
I also enjoy waking up at all hours of the night for nothing in particular! Screaming for no reason is just fun stuff for me! Mommy has to wake to feed me at least twice a night, but I won't eat the whole bottle, in fact I'll sip an ounce back and then pass out in her arms. Ah yes, being the son to a sucker is so much fun!

sigh...

How can you stay mad at this face?
