Not a lot to say today...
Today's positives:
1: We had our usual nice walk. We enjoyed looking over the Halifax river.
2: James had a lovely bath this evening
3: Gracie watched Yo Gabba Gabba before bed. It's become a part of her routene she looks forward to every night. Very strange show but I love watching her dance along to it.
4: Gracie's new favorite book is Green eggs and ham. Can't say I will miss Brown bear Brown bear but after a few more weeks of this it may start to look appealing ;)
I am looking forward to getting some good sleep tonight!
goodnight all

2: James enjoyed gumming on a bagel.
3: Matt taught Gracie the words to Big Ol Jet Airliner and they had a great time singing together. She even had the tune down. (apparently she started an encore in the bathtub this evening)
4: Then we went for a walk through the beautiful white sands and clear water. Gracie did a happy little victory dance which consisted of throwing her arms in the air, running in circles happily shouting "EGGS"
5: Then we went to the familyChristian book store and picked up a book to start a bible study with Gracie.
6: We took a nice long evening stroll through the local neighbourhood with our dog Bay.
7: We started the bible study. Gracie enjoyed hearing the stories and looking at the pictures.
8: Gracie did wonderful sleeping in her bed for the first time last night. She didn't get up until this morning.

Day 74: Monday Monday
Today is the start of our weekend! 2 whole days of Daddy being home to play! Fun times :)
Today's positives:
1: We took the kids and dog down to Ponce Inlet, the beach for dogs. It was nice to feel the sand between our toes. The kids love to be outside!
2: James has been reaching and rolling over to play with toys.
3: Gracie found Matt's wallet, pulled out his debit card saying "Shoes Shoes". Maybe not a positive but very funny.
4: James has started to enjoy playing with bath toys. He has his favorite rubber duckie he likes to sit with.
5: When we heard James wake up this morning, Gracie ran to the bedroom to go get him.
6: Today we converted Gracie's crib in to a toddler bed. We both feel a little sad that our baby is growing up. She did very well. She only got out of bed once and that was because we forgot to give her, her paci.
7: James ate two jars of baby food today at one time. Apples seem to be his favorite.
8: When Matt and Gracie went to walk the dog this morning she made him put a bow in her hair. She had 3 different people tell her how cute she is.
Well that's all for today.
goodnight all

Day 54: Mary Mary Quite Contrary
Today I have my first guest blogger, my Mama *grin*. Seeing as Matt is M: she is going to be G: for Grammy.
Today's positives:
S: We had a better nights sleep last night, in the fact that we actually got some!
G: Today I got to spend the entire day with my daughter and grandbabies which was exhausting and fun. It was funny watching Gracie and seeing Sophie as a small child again. Gracie is a lot like her Mama. She is fiercely independent, strong willed, brave and adventurous, all wonderful attributes.
S: It was cute watching Gracie go out with her big hat, beads and sparkly shoes. I can't wait to see what her fashion sense is like when she is older.
G: James sat up! All by himself for almost a minute.
S: Mum and I tag teamed a double trouble diaper changing session this afternoon. While Gracie was not so amused, James found it quite the comedy to watch his big sister physically express her displeasure.
G: Lol, yes, James does find Gracie's flailing arms and legs hilarious which in itself is pretty funny. He has such an infectious laugh. James is such a happy baby, he grins at every opportunity.
S: I was proud of my little girl managing to climb three flights of stairs to get up and down to Grammy's apartment.
G: We had quite a fun time taking the children for a walk around the neighbourhood. James enjoyed being carried by his Mummy in the Moby and Gracie enjoyed setting the pace and direction which was fine because who needs to actually walk in a direct line right? She was very inquisitive and showed a lot of curiosity in a small tree, she found a piece of bark that fell off the tree and was quite determined to reattach it. It was pretty funny to watch her try and climb the tree, again, another of her Mummy's childhood traits coming out in her.
S: While we were investigating trees Gracie found a nice little ant nest. I think it was probably one of the scariest moments so far for me as I watched the tiny black critters cover my baby's little feet and legs. Thankfully my Mum still has her Mummy ninja reflexes and between us we managed to pull off her shoes and get them off her before too much damage occurred. I know this may not seem like a positive but what I was most proud of was how my little one handled this situation. Not only did she not freak out and grab at her legs but she was fine and ready to get down and play once me and my mum had finished bashing all the ants off her. In fact she was angrier at being held down than she was being bitten. She is very brave!
G: I got to feed James his lunch which may seem like no big deal but since he is breastfed it was very kind of Sophie to give me the opportunity to share this precious time with my beautiful Grandson.
S: Gracie tried meatless corn dogs and meatless meatballs today. She seemed to really enjoy them. I also noticed they are dye and preservative free. Always an added bonus :)
Today has been a full, fun and VERY tiring day. I am so glad I came up here to visit. I am having a brilliant time, and it's going by quickly.
G: My only wish is that my favourite son-in-law was here too. Matt, thank you for letting your precious little family visit with us for so long. Love you Son-shine.
G'night all.

Day 51: and a half...
So yesterday we missed out on blogging! The drive to my mums house was long, and apart from a bit of a nutty hour where James decided to sing and we had a bit of a hairy moment with the car seat and a truck rest stop, it was plain sailing! We left around 3.30pm and arrived at 10.15pm. As a non stop drive its 6 hours so we did well.
Today has been a lovely first day. Gracie has had three showers, James took a 3 hour nap and its been pretty relaxed. Even a trip to Walmart was not so bad, considering it was a holiday weekend.
Today's positives:
1: Grace enjoyed taking a shower, the water pressure is not too hard on her, Good job as she has been quite the mucky pup!
2: James has been very content sat watching everyone in his little bouncy seat.
3: Gracie has been excellent and not really gotten in to much mischief... Of which there has been plenty of opportunity. She has even been nice to the cats. Only stopping to pretend to tickle them.
4: Gracie got to show her Grandpa the joys of Yo GabbaGabba...
5: James got his first bath in the kitchen sink. Just like Gracie used to have when she was his size :)
6: Gracie is spending her first night in a bed with out sides! She is sleeping in a real bed. She was going to sleep on the new camping bed but she rolled off it and when I went to check on her she was sleeping underneath it... So now she is in a proper safe bed :) I guess I'm camping out ;)
7: Gracie has enjoyed dressing up today. She had a lovely time in her Easter hat, Grammy's fluffy socks, a long string of beads and a little gold bracelet that belonged to my Mum as a little girl.
8: James enjoyed a lovely storey time with Grandpa. Brown bear Brown bear.
Well that's enough for today! Tomorrow is the Iris festival :)

Day 47: Measles
Today has been a full day.
I rescued a mole(or baby gofer as some people thought) from being trampled in the parking lot by a scary screaming lady. We found out Gracie has a case of measles from getting the vaccine 2 weeks ago. We hung out alot. Went on a 2 hour walk and tomorrow Matt is taking the ASVAB! Exciting!!!! We are also including some pics from the past few days, just cos they are cute and I forgot to post them :)
Today's positives:
S: I got to take a nap with James.
M: Gracie carried the bag from Walgreen's up the stairs for me.
S: Gracie wore her hat all day long. She in fact spent most of her day in just her hat and a diaper.
M: I got to give James a bottle for the first time in a long time!
S: I enjoyed reading Brown Bear Brown Bear to Gracie.
M: The highlight of being a parent so far happened to day. While we had Gracie and James in the bathtub, Gracie was dancing and doing anything she could to make James laugh and he was laughing hysterically.
S: I have to admit the bath was pretty much one of my favorite moments as a parent so far. I just love the relationship my children are building.
M: I like how they both where content and happy when we went for a walk with them.
We hope you enjoy the pictures!

Day 44: late night
Today has been pretty great. Matt worked the day shift so me and the kids hung out all day and then when Daddy got home we went grocery shopping, walked the dog, had dinner and hung out!
Today's positives:
1: James not only rolled today but did a series of rolls right across the living room floor!
2: I started running picture flash cards with Gracie today. She loved it. They have pictures of animals, places, colors and every day objects. She said a few new words so I guess it worked.
3: James enjoyed looking at his little Einsteins chewable baby book. He waved it all over the place and looked very intently at it.
4: While I was nursing James I suddenly heard Gracie's bedroom door shuts followed very closely by a little knocking sound... Every time Gracie shuts her self in some where she now knocks to be let out. I much prefer this to the hysterical crying we had before lol.
5: We packed Daddy a nice big lunch and walked it down to the guard check. It was nice to see Gracie running around having a good time in the sunshine. She also carried my tote bag home which is almost as big as her. Adorable!
6: Gracie was building with her duplo blocks for ages while Matt made dinner and I nursed James. It was nice to have everyone busy and content.
7: After bath time when Gracie had just gotten out of the tub. She put her arms up to Matt so picked her up and she gave him a great be soaking wet cuddle.
8: Both the babies snuggled in to Matt for milk time. Gracie even fed James some of his bottle.
9: After everyone was done with their bed time milk we all fell asleep in a big pile on the sofa.
Today has been a very pleasant day!

Day 41: Tea Party
Today was a bit crazy but we had a lot of great moments. We had some events transpire that caused us to postpone potty training, we will resume that endeavor again soon. We played with the kids a lot and got a lot of laughs and giggles!

M: I had a pillow fight with Gracie, she absolutely loved it. She was laughing and having a great time.
S: I enjoyed sitting on the couch this evening listening to Gracie in the bath shout "weeeee" and make big splashing noises, followed by her and Matt laughing hysterically.
M: I was feeding Gracie lunch and she got her little tea set out so we had a tea party! It was my first tea party and I must say, I quite enjoyed it. Gracie makes a very cute hostess :)
S: I enjoyed Listening to James talk away while he was standing in my lap!
M: James was in his swing and I hooked up a rattle toy for him. He loved it and just sat playing with it and grinning wide!
I hope everybody had a good day.

Day 39: Mothers Day
Today has been a lovely mothers day! My little family have spoiled me.
I got to sleep in a little this morning, when I woke up I nursed James and Gracie brought me a picture she had colored for me. Matthew brought me some roses he has picked and a lovely letter.
( I might add I got my gifts a few days ago, which included, a Jar of branston pickle, a chocolate orange and a toastie sandwich maker).
We took a lovely family walk. Matthew made everybody breakfast and we hung out for a while. The kids napped so Matt and I snuggled up and watched some T.V. Then when Gracie woke up we went and walked the dog around the park. Matthew cleaned the kitchen and changed diapers, did laundry, bathed the kids, sorted out dinner and was in general my hero.
Thank you for a lovely day family. I love getting to be Mummy :) All my love my darlings. I am so excited to spend forever with you all xxx
Today's positives:
1: Today was Gracie's last day in diapers "fingers crossed"
2: James has had a big growth spurt and outgrown lots of his clothes. About time!
3: Gracie finally called Matt Daddy instead of MAAATT.
4: When we walked down to the guard check she said "night night Dada" as we walked away.
5: James and I snuggled up and had a nap.
There is probably a million more things. I couldn't feel more blessed and happy.
Looking forward to having Matt off work for the next 2 days!

Today's positives:
1: Gracie has really gotten good at climbing up and down the stairs. Which has made my life so much easier.
2: This afternoon I had fun playing with Gracie and Matt. We showed Gracie how to do her shape sorter, then we all played with Gracie's box of eggs that she loves.
3: Matt and I got the kids bathed together before he went to work. I think they enjoyed having us both there.
4: Gracie did the actions for Two Little Dickybirds for her Grammy over skype.

Excited to see what the day brings!

Day 34: Washing the Van!
Today has been a fantastic day. Not only did we get a lot accomplished, but we had a blast doing it!
I'm not gonna lie to you, I have some amazing kids :)
Today's Positives:
M: Today Gracie and I washed the van, she loved getting sprayed with the water and running around in the puddles. It was some of the most fun I have ever had washing a car! And then when mummy and James came out Gracie decided it would be a good time to eat dirt. She actually got on her hands and knees and was trying to eat the mud. The van got clean, she was a soaking mess, and we had a blast :)
S: Today we started potty training Gracie. We have had a busy time cleaning up lots of mess but Gracie now knows to pull her pants down to sit down and pull them up when she stands up. She also has very cute little underwear :)
M: James was awake while Gracie took a nap, so I got some quality time to focus on him. I had him on my lap and I blew raspberry's on his belly, kissed his toes, and made funny faces. He was laughing and giggling up a storm. we had a great time.
S: It was very peacful doing bath time with James tonight.
M: After bath time I was getting James into his PJs and Gracie was climbing on my back. She randomly stopped and came around and gave me a big kiss! That's a rare occurance these day's but it absolutely made my night!
That's all for tonight folks.

Day 33: Home At Last
Today was my first day off in a long, long time. It was a great day as I finally got to spend alot of quality time with my kids!
Today's Positives:
1. James was crying and would not settle no matter what I tried. I finally gave up trying and put him and Gracie on my lap, right when he looked over at her, he instantly settled and was all smiles for his big sister!
2. I got to feed James a bottle and by the time he finished it he was fast asleep. I just sat there holding him, something I haven't had the opportunity to do much.
3. Gracie and I played alot today, she was full of laughs and smiles.
4. When I was feeding James his bottle, Gracie came over and sat on my lap and she fed James his bottle for a while. It was definitely a cute and proud moment for me.
5. I know I am forgetting stuff, but it was a awesome day. I love being a dad!
Hope everyone has a good night,
Matt
We thought it would be fun for Matt to get a chance to do a blog post for once but I did quickly want to add one thing. Tonight our son discoverd bathtime means laying in water and was scooching down and trying to lap it up like a dog. So gross! I kept telling him not to drink his bath water but every chance he got he was drinking it up. Oh well...
Goodnight All

I kept telling him not to drink his bath water but every chance he got he was drinking it up. Oh well...
Goodnight All

Day 31: Atleast.. I think its 31...
Today was lovely!
Today's positives:
1: We walked down to the guard house to walk Daddy home from work, bright and early this morning.
2: We came home and had a delicious breakfast of crepes with cinnamon sugar.
3: We got to hang out and relax together. Even going grocery shopping was more fun as a family.
4: James and I got to walk the dog while Daddy and Gracie took a nap.
5: Gracie put her baby doll on her sit and ride and pushed it all over. I am pretty sure the baby doll had as much fun as Gracie ;)
6: Gracie has discovered a new show called Yo Gabba Gabba. She has fun dancing as there is mostly music. Very strange show... Very strange...
7: James went to sleep earlier so Gracie and I got to have a lovely long cuddle before bed.
I think I'm going to enjoy having Matt home :)
Goodnight all

Day 22: Dogs for sale...
Today was a full and busy day. We did lots of fun things. We also found out Daddy is going to have 5 days off in a row and have decided to have our own little staycation. We are thinking a beach day and picnic in the park. Any other suggestions?
Today's positives:
1: This morning I gathered up a small bucket full of things to show James. This included a light up stick, some rattles, a fuzzy dog and a few other bits and pieces. We had a lovely time looking at everything. James laughed so much when I tickled him with the fuzzy dog. I even managed to get a picture (see below)
2: A couple of weeks ago I started poking Gracie's nose and saying "beep beep" and it made her giggle. Today she climbed up in my lap and did it to me a few times. I think it's become our new thing :)
3: Today we had fun doing some coloring. I think I may have colored more than Gracie did *blush*. She did have a crafty nibble of the green crayon.. Silly girly!
4: After coloring I laid James out on the sheet and him and Gracie had fun playing with each other. They had each other laughing their heads off!
5: James had his first yogurt today. Him and Gracie shared it and it was adorable! Strawberry banana flavor. :)
6: I am not sure this is really a positive but it cracked me up so I have to include it... When I was in the bathroom cleaning up from bath time, Gracie came trotting in with her purse swinging from her arm. When I was finished I told her it was time to leave the bathroom. Gracie, not being too amused by this, then proceeded to start bashing me with her handbag. I know its a bit naughty but it took everything I had not to laugh when I realized what she was doing. I can already see what kind of old lady she is going to be ;)
7: This afternoon both of my babies snuggled up with me and we watched the velvatine rabbit. It was lovely afternoon.
It just occurred to me, I had envisioned my children having sleepovers with their friends but never my dog... I only hope I can get them to behave this weekend as well as my children do!
Goodnight everyone!
