We're going to stay on the topic of stuff on little c's face with this one. Not sure if you can see it since the lighting was poor and I didn't want to use the flash, but the little future makeup artist came home from school like this one day last week. I'd better keep my MAC away from him.
Had a fun-filled, action-packed weekend, complete with painting our storage room, family trip to Costco, a trek to Wheeler Farm (which should be renamed Dullsville), dips in little c's new pool, navigating through millions of double-wide babystrollers and enormous dogs at the Farmer's Market, delicious sockeye salmon and corn on the cob for dinner one night, and little c's first bee sting!
Photo re-cap soon. In the meantime, you'll have to settle for this one. Let's just say he really enjoys pasta.
A couple of weeks ago I hosted an Usborne Book Party at Hancock Manor. I met a consultant for UB at the Avenues Street Fair last September and she convinced me to host one. If you have little kids that love to read or you want them to love to read, you should definitely think about hosting one of these parties. As a result of my sales, I snagged 15 free books for little c and my nephews.
Can you guess which one will probably be Cohen's fave?
If you guessed this one, you're most likely right.
I'd say these are worth far more than costume jewelry or some Pampered Chef pizza stones, although I'd take both of those in a heartbeat too!
I guess it's been a couple of weeks since I last posted anything. No good reason why I haven't...just need a break every once in awhile.
We had a very lovely fourth of July long weekend last week. Big C and I both realized it was the first relaxing weekend we've had since little c came along. We stayed at a friends cottage in Park City the entire weekend and enjoyed every second of our 3.5 day weekend. We swam every day, played at an amazing playground, went running at 5000', ate really well, slept in, went to Park Silly and had build-your-own Bloody Mary's (Cohen had the virgin kind), and took it easy in between. So great. So needed too.
If that is the only vacation we take as a family all year, it was a good one. A perfect 10 out of 10 in my book.
Here are some highlights from the weekend.

Don't look like you're in pain or anything Cohen!
I am the proud owner of an 18 month old today. So crazy. The time really does fly by far too quickly.
The kid has far too many words to count (over 50 and growing every day) and likes to repeat everything we say, including the naughty words. Big C has been working with him on saying "Love you" and his hard work finally paid off the other day when Cohey Bear said "wuv loo". My heart skipped a beat and I of course cried. And now he can't stop saying it. He even told Thomas the Tank Engine "wuv loo" tonight right before he kissed him.
For my friends and family in Canada and the US, have a lovely holiday weekend and know that we wuv loo!
I love the look on Big C's face. Pure delight. I scored in the husband department!
I took little c in for his 18 month check-up yesterday. We were hanging out in the waiting room, watching the fish, colouring on the table because who colours on paper, and climbing up on chairs. Little c's name was called and as he innocently rounded the corner to walk through the door to the exam rooms, he spotted Dr. Rachel's nurse, H, and instantly started screaming like one of those monkeys you see that are being ripped from the jungle and sent to some zoo or lab or somewhere equally horrendous (like Hollywood). Not only was he screeching, he was clawing at me to get away from her. You see, H is in a wheelchair and is the one that gives him his shots. I think he remembered the wheelchair and has figured her out.
Needless to say, it was a tough chore getting his weight and there was no chance of getting his height or head size. But I think it's safe to say he's below average on the height and in the 95%ile for head size, based on how he's tracked all along.
All in all we had a great visit with Dr. Rachel and little c is in fine form and hitting all of the milestones.
