Swimming

On the weekend, Darian had to work. So, Aaralynn and I went done to my parents and went for a swim. It was the first time she was in any swimming pool. She seemed to enjoy it. Here are some pictures.

Getting ready to go into the pool.

It was a beautiful day so Aaralynn and I, and our friends Angela (taking the picture) and Hailey walked to the park.

What's over there?

Update

So, Aaralynn had her 2 month check up today. And she's big! But the doctor isn't worried so, I guess I shouldn't either. Also today she had her 2nd of 3 hep B shot. She did very well. Only cried for a few seconds.

Current weight: 15lbs 6oz
Current height: 23 inches
Current diaper size: size 2 but will be in size 3 very soon
Sleep: Last 3 nights she would sleep for 5 hours in a row. And last night she slept for 8 hours in a row. (That was nice)

Hope to have pictures soon. Will take some when she wakes up from her nap.

Where To Start?

Where do I start? A lot has happened since I last blogged. Aaralynn is growing like a weed. She is now in size 2 diapers. (Actually she has been in size 2 diapers for over a week.) And I personally think she must weigh at least 12 lbs now.

Aaralynn took her first plane ride last Friday. We all went to Newfoundland for Darian's parents anniversary and to also visit and celebrate Darian's Nan's birthday (she is 93 years young). She also got to be introduce to a lot of new relatives. Including her uncle Sheldon, aunt Amanda, cousins Jocelyn and Spencer and many grand aunts and uncle. It was a very good short trip. Aaralynn did great on the plane. We had a very late flight down so she slept the entire way (including take off and landing). I was told (by many people) that I would have to feed her on take off and landing so that it would relieve some pressure in her ears, (so I was a little concern about that), but it didn't bother her at all. On the way back, since it was an early evening flight, she was awake for part of it. She was a little fussy but she was happy for most part of the trip, except when she needed her diaper change. Yes, we had to do diaper change on the plane (It was a little tricky). All I have to say is "thank goodness she isn't any bigger", she would have never fit on the change table.

Waiting to board the plane. (It was delayed by 1 and 1/2 hrs. She slept through the whole thing.)

Weekend

What a busy weekend!

We started this weekend (Saturday) with a court-yard sale. We didn't have too much to sell, but we had lots of people stop by (most came to look at Aaralynn). We sold about $30 worth of stuff, but only ended up with $5 profit. This is what happens when you buy your neighbours' stuff.

Then on Saturday afternoon we when over to Grandma's and Grandpa's for a swim. Aaralynn didn't get into the pool but Mommy and Daddy did while Grandma and Grandpa baby sat. It was great. For about an hour or so I was living the single life.

And, yesterday Aaralynn attended her first birthday party (It was Nathan's birthday). Actually it was her first (any kind) party. She did very well. There wasn't too much crying (only when she was hungry). Aaralynn at this party also met lots of our friends for the first time. Here are some pictures.

One Month Old

Happy Birthday Aaralynn. My baby is a month old today. I can't believe how much she has changed. I've been told that she now looks more like Darian. You can judge for yourself when I get her one month photos from the photographers. Yes, we got some professional photos done today. She did very well. No cries. (Photos will not be ready for 2 weeks) She also stays awake more during the day and sleeps a lot more during the night. And when she's awake, she doesn't just cry anymore. She actually looks around and when I talk to her, she looks at me (most of the time).

I can't believe how much my life has changed also. I don't get to sleep in anymore. My days now start at 6 am or earlier and my nights now end at 9 pm or earlier.
