6 month needles!

So today Angela went to get her 6-month immunization. She was such a good girl!!

She weighs 18 lbs 2 oz.

Her head is 42cm round.

She is 72 cm long.

That puts her in the 50th percentile for head. And 95th percentile for height and weight!! The doctor called her a super baby! She is doing so great.

We are all doing well and trying to get organized for Christmas! I love being able to buy everyone gifts and watch them unwrap is the best thing ever! I love this time of year. =)

First tooth!!

I am proud to announce that Angela has got her first tooth!!! Which would explain her random bursts of crying in the middle of the night!

She is such a big girl now! I will post a picture later!

We are very excited to be going to England for Christmas! We phoned home today and dad sounds very busy getting the place ready! We can't wait! We'll be sad to miss David and Rachel who are on their missions - But we are happy that they are doing well out in the field.

This is Angela at 5 months 3 weeks. She loves chillin' out with her hat on! lol Sadly, I lost the hat when we went to Boston.

She is almost crawling... She really likes to walk holding your hands more than she likes to attempt crawling.

She loves to say "Ga-ya-ya-ya" Haha -Daddy taught her that one! She is such a happy baby and we love her!

Vacation to Boston!

All right! So, we decided to go to Boston for a little family vacation and relaxation time.

It was fantastic! The hotel was awesome! The people were so nice and everyone loved Ange so much. The people of Boston were so kind! Everyone smiled at eachother and were considerate! So many people stopped to talk about Ange and play with her! And people helped us with the stroller on the subways and giving us directions and picking up things I'd dropped! (Except for her GAP hat that I lost!! Cutest hat in the world RIP... And I lost Jamie's gloves.... Man, do not put me in charge of anything!!)

Anyhow, it was fantastic. We went and saw the Old North Church, and walked along the Freedom Trail. We saw Paul Revere's house too. It was really awesome to see the area and walk around it. It was all still brick streets and it was very cool!!

Anyhow, Angela is sick with the flu, so I am out!

Has been a while!!

Okay, so we are doing great!!

Jamie is working at RBC and he had his work assessment done last week and he scored "Outstanding!"

School is going well for him as well. Come January, he is going to slwo down a bit and only take a few courses instead of the full-time schedule!

Angela is getting big! She was 17 lbs at her 5 month appointment. She tries very hard to speak - Comes out as gurgles and "ya ya ya" is the highlight of the sentence! She was saying "Hi" but everyone freaked out with laughter when she did and she got scared! lol

She hates being on her tummy. Forget crawling! She wants to hold onto your fingers and walk around. She loves playing with her blocks and books and her favorite game with daddy is called destruction. lol He builds her block towers and she smacks them down!!

We are very excited to be going to England for Christmas to visit our family. And we are going to go to Boston this weekend as Jamie has some vacation time and we'd like to rejuvenate before exams and the hustle bustle of Christmas! (Oh, and not to mention shopping!!!)

Owning a house...

Okay, so the stress of owning a new home has hit! To a small degree.

We went through the house to see, and while the cupboards and counters look GREAT, the upgraded tiling that we got is less than impressive.

The floor slopes up and down in areas, and the tiles don't meet the baseboards in places as well as most annoying of all..... In the master bath, the floor creaks in a large area... My gosh, how annoying is that going to be every day....

Anyhow, other than that it is 4 1/2 weeks until we move in! Yay!! And 3 1/2 until Jackie doesn't have to work in Toronto anymore!! Double yay!!

Jamie is doing great at school and his last test he got an A!!

Update

Well, lots of exciting things are going to happen very soon!!! Just under 8 weeks until we move in to our house!!! And then it is a few weeks after that when the baby is due to pop!

Jam is doing well in university and is enjoying the program. And his work is also going very well. He may even have his first business trip coming up!! He is such a hard worker.

Other than that, we are just waiting for the spring to come so that we can enjoy the outdoors! We are planning the rooms in the house and it is all very exciting.

We have been so blessed!

Our First Blog!

This is our family's little blog!!

We thought that this would be a good idea since our family is everywhere! This way, everyone can keep up with what is going on - Especially since the first little one is on the way!!

Not too long now. The ultrasound technician pushed our due date back a couple days, but that's all! So, now the due date is June 11th. 1 day after my birthday!

Everything is very exciting right now. We just bought a house!! The sales people were shocked that we picked the house and all the colours and decor easily without fighting! lol

We are both working downtown TO. It is very difficult in the winter because the commute takes longer since the weather is bad. But it is great to spend more time with each other, even if it is just in the car.

Anyhow, we will post more as it happens!
