9 weeks!

Baby had his first set of shots yesterday (Monday). He is supposed to get it next week but had his this week instead. Marc held him while he got the needles. He cried a little bit. His dad gave him snuggles and kisses, and then it was mom's turn :). He is really healthy and is averaging 52% and 82% for his weight and height. He is getting close to double his birth weight. He was 7lbs at birth and is now 12Lbs 31/2oz. He measures 22inches and 3/8 (20inches and 3/4 at birth). Our little boy is growing. He was so little when he was born and now he is just getting fuller and heavier. LOVE MY BABY!!!

Taken after church. He was waiting patiently for his bottle.

He's NOT always patient when it comes to getting fed, lol!

Tradition!

On Saturday, we celebrated baby's second month of being part of our life for eternity. We took him to the "Border City Collectors show and sale". It's basically a toy and antiques collectible show". Marc and I have been going there for 6 years now, so it's like a tradition for us. This year, we shared it with baby even though he really doesn't know the meaning of it yet. For those who know Marc, he is a toy collector and has been ever since he was 8 years old. He has totes and totes filled with toys in our basement's storage room. Some of his toys (lots of them) are now collectors item and are still in their original packaging. He collects cars, trucks, tractors and other cool farm equipments. He collects mostly ERTL, Johnny Ligthning, Hotwheels, and Matchbox. Anyway, going to a toy show is inevitable in our family, lol.

It was such a beautiful day out that we got to use baby's stroller for the first time. We enjoyed our little family outing. I am glad I have a boy. There's lot of trucks for him to play with in our basement :).

Grateful!!!

In June, Marc and I will be renewing our mortgage at the bank. I can't believe it's been five years already. One of our dream is to have the mortgage paid off as fast as we can. I am grateful that the mortgage is the only debt we ever had (well, still have). We don't have to worry about car payments or credit card bills or other monthly payments.

I am grateful to have grown up the way I did. I am grateful for my dad who has shown us how to live on a budget. Grateful for my mom who has been a great example to me of how to spend money reasonably.

I may not be the best money saving person in this world, however, I know I am not the worse money spending person in it ether.

That said though, It doesn't mean that I never spent money unwisely or unreasonably. I am still human after all, lol!

First shot!

Tiffany came by today to teach Marc how to give me my shot, so I don't have to go to the clinic once a week. She gave me my shot and also explained the whole procedure to Marc. She is really good at what she does. I didn't even feel the needle go in and out.

After it was done, we invited her to stay for supper, and she got to snuggle with baby for almost an hour on the couch while watching a movie. Marc then made us both a banana split for dessert. Mine didn't have bananas because I HATE them.

I am glad to be back on my shot. I had to have it done because things were getting out of control. The RA has spread to my spine, so I couldn't afford to wait any longer. It was getting really hard to do even the simplest thing like holding my baby or opening a water bottle. Hopefully the "drug" kicks in fast, so I can enjoy life with less pain.

THANK YOU TIFFANY LOW !!!

Pinteresting again!

It's been months since I've been on Pinterest. It's time to go back and get some inspiration, lol! Tomorrow, I'll make a dish that I've pinned a while back and hope to do a lot of cooking from Pinterest. I need to get crafty again, and get some ideas for Marc and Yann's birthday next year. I know it is early but I want Yann and daddy's first, well second birthday together to be AWESOME!!! Let's pin some ideas again!!!!

Clingy!

Saturday was quite an interesting day for both Marc and I. For some reason, baby decided that he didn't want mommy, lol. The only person he wanted was his daddy. Marc had to often stop doing what he was. Baby was so clingy. It was all about his dad. It was quite cute to see, lol. He usually is AWESOME with both of us but saturday was daddy's day. Marc LOVED it!!!

ps: the date on the camera is wrong, lol!

Smiley face!

Yann has been smiling a lot lately. I find it really hard to capture a smile on the camera sometimes. By the time I grab my camera, baby doesn't want to smile any more, lol. Here are some of the smiles I was able to take with my camera. A couple of them are from grandma B!

 My favorite one so far :). Smiling back at daddy!

 Playing with daddy

 This one makes me smile.

We both couldn't go back to bed,

so we had a little play time. I love those moments.
