My New Big Boy Room!

Over the past few months, we have been working on turning our office and spare guest room into James' new big boy room, to make room for our new baby! We didn't show him the room as we worked on it but finally couldn't resist taking him into his new room yesterday! We still plan on using the nursery crib for a while, but will move everything else over (clothes etc.) soon so that he isn't too confused with having two rooms. Needless to say he LOVED his new room, especially his big boy bed! As you can see, there's a little bit of a theme going on...

Checking out his new firetruck bed!

A present from the baby...an Elmo alarm clock (like we will ever set it!!)

Seeing the pictures of Daddy and James with Dad's firetruck on the wall!

Already mastered getting in and out and let all his teddies take a spin in the new truck!

We took this today as he fell asleep in Geoff's arms so we thought we'd put him in his bed to nap and keep an eye on him...it only lasted 45 minutes and then he napped with me, as he woke up kinda scared....but he looked so cute while it lasted!

The Next Best Thing

Since we love dogs, but not enough to get one and James is obsessed with my parents dog, Lexi, he has a miniature version that he loves to take care of each day. He makes sure she is always fed and gives 'little Lexi' lots of cuddles. I caught him kissing her at snack time yesterday and sharing his crackers with her, even though she has her own dog food (shredded wheat)!

Here are a few pics from their snack time!

Groovin' with Grover

Today James was practicing his jumping while watching Grover jump around. I just happened to catch it on tape and had to hold myself back from laughing too loud which would have distracted him! Hope you have a laugh too! Jumping's hard!

Christmas Fun

We had a great Christmas around here this year! 

James loved getting carrots out for rudolph!

Maybe the rudolph ornament on our tree will eat the carrots?

Waiting for Dad to come home on Christmas morning!

Then I got a new kitchen! I'm making eggs!

Grammy got me some tools for the garden so I can help Daddy this year!

Hmm, this present thing is kinda fun!

Check out my wild hair! Mom is 28 weeks prego!

The McIntyre's

Me and my folks

Dropping off turkey for Dad who had to work, I just had to drive the firetruck on Christmas night!

An Early Christmas in Victoria

We just got back from a great trip to Victoria for an early Christmas and to meet baby Freya! We had an awesome time and crammed in lots of fun visits and events!

Here we are meeting Freya (I'm surprised he is smiling because he did not like me holding the baby at all!)

Here is Freya and her beautiful Mommy Amy, guests of honour at a baby shower at my Mom's house!

Always fun bath time with Grandma!

Helping Grandma open her Olympic mittens!

Opening his first present!

A guitar!!

We got to see Noey and Everett! Not sure these two will ever like sitting beside each other on a couch...I'm sure we'll keep trying though!

All tuckered out after lots of fun!

The family for brunch!

Taken this morning in his new bathrobe - only one more sleep til Santa comes! And we've so far only had to tell him to wait until tomorrow for the star on top of the tree about 20 times!

Snow!

We have a little snow right now and after a few tries of convincing James it's safe to walk and play in - he was ready! We have the only little hill on our street so we take advantage with our wee sled!

Let's go!

Silly camera battery died right in the middle of the hill - I'm sure we'll have more to come though if the snow keeps coming this winter!
