Mommy and baby are both nursing a cold today. I must say Adrian is much more cheerful despite of his cold than I am. He has been sleeping alot more and is extra cuddly (or maybe that's me that needs the cuddling?). But the good news is I think we are on the mend. Even Adrian's little cough is cute.
We had a busy weekend with our family party in Stickney and then our send off for Brian early Sunday morning. He has been in touch from Regina and is doing well so far. We are thinking of him and miss him very much!
Other than that there isn't much new here. Adrian is still loving his jolly jumper and goes in it twice a day. He is definitely recognizing Mom and Dad these days. As soon as his Dad comes home at night and Adrian sees him his entire face lights up. Coming home to that smile will never get old!

22 weeks - Dedication and farewell Uncle Brian
On Saturday Adrian had a play date at the lovely Abby Dekleva's house. It sure was fun to get out and see all the babies (and fellow Mommy's for me). Each play date will get more fun as they become more social and interactive.
Sunday was a special day in our house. Not only did Adrian turn 5 months old, but our family attended a special dedication ceremony for him at our church. Afterwards we had a little brunch at our house to celebrate. It was a great day. What a proud moment for Mom and Dad!
More big news for us... Uncle Brian is headed to Regina next Sunday for 6 months of RCMP training. Boy do we hate to see him go, but we are all very proud of him at the same time. Next weekend is going to be a tough one. Adrian has volunteered to fill in in the hugs and kisses department for Aunt Tracey while Bri is gone! And Grampy already has plans for a mini Creeper so Adrian can help him work on cars in the garage if he needs an extra set of hands.
P.S. A happy birthday shout out to my '20-something' friend Sipo. Have a great day!!

21 weeks - Being a baby is frustrating at times
Looks like we are in for a big storm! Adrian and I had plans to go to Stickney for a few days this week but I guess it will depend on the weather. Although I am not a big fan of snow I am glad to see that winter has finally come back. I don't think it would bode well for our environment if we had a warm, snow free winter here in NB.
Adrian is busy as usual trying out new things. He is very strong on his tummy now and has mastered rolling. He is pretty eager to move onto crawling but hasn't figured out how. He will lay on his tummy and if a toy is out of reach he just stretches his arms out as far as they will go and then gets super frustrated when he can't get at the toy. It's all I can do not to reach over and hand it to him every time but I am sure it is the encouragement he needs to move onto his next big physical milestone... crawling. Oh my, life will be different around our house once Adrian is on the move.
Adrian's dedication is this coming Sunday at the Hanwell Community Church. The regular service starts at 11AM and everyone is welcomed to attend. It will be a proud moment for Mom and Dad! Be ready for lots of pictures next week.

20 weeks - My Jolly Jumper
Wow! Adrian and I just got up and looked out the window and there is about 10cm of snow out there. I am glad that we don't need to venture out today. All this snow makes me feel pretty lazy though. I do believe this is Adrian's first real storm. Welcome to NB winters baby!
After our Jolly Jumper experience at the Fairweathers last week we had to go get one for ourselves. Adrian is loving it. He will bounce away in that thing for about 15 minutes and then he is pretty tired. (I used this to my advantage yesterday and put him in it right before church so he was nice and relaxed through the whole service.) It is still very amusing to watch him go. You know he wants to get in it if you hold him in a standing position and he keeps bending his legs expecting to bounce.
I just did a load of laundry for Adrian and I must say that boy has more clothes than Jamie and I put together (and we have a lot of clothes). It's always such a hard decision for me on what he should wear each time I change him since we have such a selection. He looks pretty cute in everything (I am not bias of course).

19 weeks - recovering from the holidays
It feels very strange for Adrian and I to be sitting here all alone. Everyone is back at work today which means no visiting or visitors. Even Jamie is gone. We sure had a busy holiday season, lots of parties and visiting. It was great.
Adrian went to a New Year's Eve party and had a blast with all of his kids. We can't wait until he is running around with them too (although I must admit that looks like ALOT more work). New Year's Day we went to visit the Fairweathers where we learned that Adrian LOVES the Jolly Jumper. Adrian and Victoria couldn't get enough of it. Adrian has a very unique form of Jolly Jumping, he sort of looks like he's dancing a jig. It made for a good laugh for the parents! I have a feeling we are going to have to invest in one, if nothing more than for the laughs.
Adrian is trying to stand up a lot these days. I have a suspicion that he will be walking before he is crawling. He also has a strange little rash on his face... it has been suggested that he is teething.... I sure hope not! I would really missing his gummy little smile.
