Happy Halloween

Truman had such a fun day yesterday. He had a little Halloween party at Mother Goose. Bronna, Rebecca and I must have taken about 100 pictures each of our little ones. Jake is dressed as a bear, Macayla a ballerina, and Truman a cow! We then went for lunch and again our babies were angels.

Jerry, Truman, Morrie and I went to Wawa and Grump's for dinner and to see the trick or treaters. Morrie didn't want to feel left out so he dressed up as a lion.

Look at Truman's winning smile!

Halloween Brunch

Truman went to his first Halloween party hosted by the Thornton's yesterday. All the kids were having a grand time, but I don't know how much they were enjoying their costumes! As you can see, my little son was a cow (maybe a more appropriate costume for mommy), Christine a bumble bee, and Olivia a pretty flower! Christine has recently learned how to walk which made her even more adorable.

Thanks Ben, Steph and Christine for hosting such a nice afternoon. It was great to see everyone again. Party attendees included: Myriah, Scott, Olivia and Ethan, Jamie and Erin, and Tim and Katie. Can you imagine what next year is going to be like?

The Weigh In

Truman had his doctor's appointment on Wednesday and weighed in at 5.6 kg! What a chunkey monkey - we are so happy that he continues to gain weight! He was so good when he got his immunizations. I had to leave the room, I could not watch my poor son being jabbed in his cubby leg by needles...yikes!

I keep trying to catch Truman's smiles on camera...this is probably the best one that I got! I love when he smiles, it warms my heart. Today he even gave his Oopa a little giggle!

Truman will be two months on Sunday, where has all the time gone?

Meeting Grandpa

Truman met his grandfather (from Poland) for the first time last week. He sang old Polish songs to Truman to help calm him down and it worked! Krys even got a few smiles!

Truman is starting to talk more and more these days and really likes to be social....he is definitely taking after his father!!

Wawa babysat Truman for the first time on Saturday night, while Jerry and I enjoyed our first dinner date out since the little one was born. Wawa is such a natural, Truman loves to be held by her!

We would like to send our congratulations to aunt Anya and uncle Wolf and welcome their newest addition Joachim to the world. Truman is looking forward to meeting his cousin in January!

Mother Goose

Truman, Jake and Macayla had another Mother Goose class on Tuesday. The kids (and moms) seem to be enjoying it more and more each week. Truman is leaning in to kiss Macayla in the attached picture or at least cuddle with her. Don't worry Jeff my son will act like a gentleman! After class, the moms decided to go for a well deserved lunch at the Pickle Barrel...our little bundles all behaved themselves...we were lucky ladies! In the afternoon Truman, Morrie and I headed for another sleep over at Nanny and Oopa's....we are sure spending a lot of time in Ajax lately. I wonder if Morrie will want to come back home again. On Sunday Morrie was being a stubborn puppy and did not want to get into the car to come back home. Poor Jerry, his heart was broken!

Truman learned to blow bubbles and drool today. I knew the drooling wouldn't take long to learn - he's just like his mom!

Brrr it's cold outside!

We suited Truman up on Friday to take him for a walk in the cold weather even though our little man is usually very hot. Again, Truman had a busy weekend. On Saturday we travelled to Brantford for Andrew and Lori's wedding. It was nice to see all of Jerry's law school friends. Truman would like to apologize to Tash for his little (big) accident. On Sunday we had yummy thanksgiving dinner at Nanny and Oopa's house. We had to celebrate a week later as we had Tina and Pat's wedding the weekend before. Tina made two types of cheesecake for us, pumpkin and apple...it is hard to decide which one was better. Poor Truman was so warm we had to strip him down to his diapers!

Tina's Wedding Weekend

What a good boy Truman was this weekend! Honestly, we don't know what we would have done without the Baby Bjorn - what a life saver! Friday night Jerry and I were able to enjoy our first fancy dinner out with Truman, where we met Pat's family for the first time. Other than the piece of duck that fell on Truman's head - he seemed to enjoy himself! On Saturday we celebrated Tina's wedding. Truman was honoured to be a part of the day! His dance card was full and all the ladies were trying to cut in! On Sunday we went for brunch at Hot House with our new family, and Truman continued to be a very good boy and was on his best behaviour! What would we do without the Baby Bjorn!!!

Busy Boy, Busy Weekend

This weekend was very adventurous for little T-dot. Saturday Truman crashed his aunt Tina's bachelorette party, of course he was the life of the party! He even got a little naked to mark the occasion. On Sunday, Rebecca and Shane held a party in Truman's honour, where he was able to meet all of daddy's law school friends. The food was delish! Thanks for the doggy bag Rebecca! Then on Sunday evening, Daddy took Truman to meet some of Wawa and Baba's friends...of course as we like to say, Truman was such a good boy and showed very well! Then on Monday, Truman met Christine, Ben and Steph for lunch to celebrate Ben's book publishing - congratulations again Ben! We had our first sleep over at Nanny and Oopa's on Monday night - which was great fun for little Truman as he was showered with constant attention!
Truman has been smiling more and more each day - I am trying to catch one on camera, but it is posing to be very difficult! Stay tuned!
