I know what we did this summer!

Okay so yeah, its been a while without an update. We've been busy finishing projects (the flooring is done!), doing laundry, making formula, transporting the offspring to various outings, S has been working 50+ weeks at work and we all been trying to squeeze in some sleep.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention almost the entire month of August was in the 100Fs. For those fellow Canucks, think high 30s-40s C, yeah, freaking hot.

With all that we were up to, it didn't leave much time for blogging or uploading photos.

I think we are slowly inching ourselves to some semblance of a routine. R sleeps (we are still working on a nap schedule), eats and needs his diaper changed. That's his day. T has enlarged her 'friends' collection to include a pink gorilla, she now loves to watch Scooby Doo (who doesn't?) and still doesn't want to eat her meals when they come from the food pyramid.

After all our post natal visitors went home, we signed up T for a zoo camp. It was a 1.5 hrs a day for week...the first week we had 100F temperatures. The poor thing baked but loved every minute of it. We also got her signed up for a Kids Day Out program, which she starts next week.

Today, she started preschool. So far, so good. Her next school day is Thursday.

Me and the offspring have been making outings to the zoo and to local natural trails in an effort to fill our day and get some much needed fresh air. T gets to play with her little friends, R gets to sleep in his car seat and Mommy gets to chat with an adult other than herself.

At last count, R was about 10.8 lbs, which was a couple of weeks ago so he's likely upwards of 11lbs by now. We have been slowly trying to get him to nap. We've also been working on our tummy time to help improve his neck and head control. Its slow but steady. Did I also mention I'm starting to see the outline of two bottom teeth thru his gums? He's starting to be a drool machine too. I hope he cuts teeth better than T did.
I have some better shots on my other camera but they require a little more work before they can be simply uploaded. So for now, enjoy these!
