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

Day 75: Beach Fun
Today has been so fun! I love our weekends :D
Today's positives:
1: This morning we packed up a breakfast picnic and went to the beach. We had a lovely time sitting by the ocean, eating together as a family. (pics below)
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.
Then when she took a nap, she slept and once ready to get up stood at the door knocking to be let out.
It's just been an all round nice day. Thank you Lord :)

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 72: 6 Months
Today James is 6 months old! I can't believe he has been part of our family for half a year now.
Today's positives:
1: We started off the day with a nice long walk to our local park. (pics below)
We stopped at Walgreens. Gracie enjoyed a nice chocolate marshmallow treat. Then we all had fun at the playground.
2: We did our grocery shopping. Gracie insisted on riding in the baby seat on the cart (the ones meant for newborns) and James wanted to be carried by Daddy so it all worked out!
3: Gracie learned the word cheeks today and ran around all evening saying it.
4: As I cuddled James to sleep he babbled away. I love that he is so chatty. I think he was telling me a lovely bed time story.
5: I almost forgot to add, Gracie went down the slide all by herself for the first time today and she climbed the rockwall ( okay that one had a little help)
We have lots of pictures from the playground this morning!

Day 71: June 15th
Today I am left feeling, the best part of having children is watching them grow up but the worst part is how quickly it happens. One moment your little girl is gripping her Daddy's finger in the hospital room and the next she is swinging next to you taking your hand. I wish there was a way to pause time. I do feel like today has finally been a blog worthy day though. Lots of lovely things.
Today's positives:
1: Today started out nicely by skyping with Grammy. Gracie loves waving and dancing with Grammy. I think they are both as daft as each other :)
2: On our way out to run errands today, we noticed one of the stray cat traps in our parking lot had caught a opossum. Upon further inspection we got to see 3 little baby opossum's!! I know I am a nursing mother because the first thought in my mind was "Poor Mama opossum, with a brood like that she has got to be starving!" teehee. Gracie enjoyed seeing them. She would insist it was a kitty (kinda looks like my folk's cat Tallulah). It was all I could do to stop her trying to pet them. Thankfully they were set free back in to the woods this afternoon.
3: Gracie, James and I had fun out running errands. We went to Walmart and thankfully they had a double shopping cart. I love having them both sitting in one cart because we can laugh and be silly all around the store. We even stopped for a chat with a nice old man who enjoyed chatting with Gracie.
4: Our new project with Gracie is to teach her body parts. Lots of singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. So far she can say eyes and thinks her nose is called "Beep Beep".
5: We took the dog for a nice a stroll around the park this afternoon. Daddy slept in as he worked until 4am, but it was nice to spend some time with him before he headed back out to work.
6: On the way in from the walk Matt needed to carry up the dog food. Gracie seemed proud as punch to be his little helper. It was cute to see her run after him and try to help him up the stairs.
7: Daddy, Gracie and James all shared some apple sauce. (pic below).
8: Then we walked Daddy to work.
9: On our way back from dropping off Daddy, we stopped at the bench swings over looking the river. I had James in the Moby and Gracie sitting beside me. We sat for a nice long time swinging. The best part was when my little Gracie reached over and put her hand in mine and Jame leaned his head back in to me and we sat quietly together for a while.
Then Gracie started to talk (baby talk) about the things around us. We had fun watching a lizard do a funny little dance and puff out his neck. Spring time is fun to watch nature!
10: When we got home Gracie "read" stories to me and James. We looked at "Chocolate for breakfast" for a good long time.
Now both my little ones are tucked up in their beds. I have had such a lovely time with them today.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
Goodnight all

Day 60: I love Florida
It's been a very nice day here. We pretty much jumped back in to the norm. It's been nice to all be back together again.
Today's positives:
S: James is getting so good at rolling over I can't turn my back on him for a second. Today he almost rolled right off his changing mat.
M: I enjoyed blowing raspberry's on James's feet. It made him laugh.
S: James, Matt and I all had a nice long cuddle together on the bed.
M: Gracie kept bringing me books to read to her today. She loves stories!
S: We went for a nice long walk along the beach this evening. I carried James in his Moby and Matt ran around in the surf with Gracie. It was lovely.
M: Gracie gave me a goodnight kiss.
Well goodnight all!

Day 56: Attack of the killer swan.
Today started out nice and calm, we went to the play ground and Gracie had a fabulous time running around playing. Then we went for a nice quiet walk around the lake... We almost got murdered by a rather large, angry swan, who had good taste in footwear as it decided to steal and guard my mothers flip-flop.
Today's positives:
S: We slept in until 7am! Lovely for Mummy :)
G: I had fun pushing Gracie on the swing and hearing her squeal with laughter, shouting "WEEEEEE", then playing on the climbing frame. She has excellent balance for one so young.
S: It was funny watching Gracie climb in the tunnel and peek out at everyone. Then once in a while wave at me with a huge grin on her face.
G: It was very cute having Gracie help me push James in the stroller.
S: James was splayed out and sleeping while we took a nice walk. He seems to love being out side and finds it very relaxing.
S: I actually managed to nurse James while we walked around Walmart. Auntie Shay got me a nursing cape for my baby shower and it has turned out to be one of my most used and prized possessions.
G: I am quite impressed with the way Gracie asks to take a nap when she is tried, she walks to her bed, points and waits to be lifted in. Then she snuggles down to sleep.
S: I am also feeling quite pleased with how well she has taken to time out. While I do not like having to punish my baby I am very proud of how well she has responded to the occasional correction. She will not move off her cushion until she is told to do so and has become quite good at listening to explanation of punishment then giving cuddles.
G: Swimming with the children was quite an adventure. James quite enjoyed being gently swished through the water. Gracie on the other hand believes she is part fish!
S: Gracie has become quite fearless in the water. She likes to be dunked under and I think she has the determination to possibly learn to swim this summer.
G:After dinner Grandpa treated everyone to a trip to the ice cream parlor. It was fun sharing an ice cream with Gracie. (Strawberry with sprinkles).
S: James did have a little lick of my ice cream teehee.
G: I was very glad both the babies where in the stroller when the swan chased us.
Well today has been VERY busy and tiring. Our swan adventure was funny enough to add in but not necessarily be considered a positive...
Whilst walking along the river a swan slowly swam towards the bank. As we wandered a long the dirt path we were quite surprised as it hopped out of the water and started to charge us. Mum and I both being girls and slightly afraid of big white beasty started to scream and panic run in circles. Somewhere in the commotion Mum lost her flip-flop. It was then I knew it was game over.
Swan then grabbed mum by her charming purple shirt and mum returned the favor with a firm grip of its neck. I, seeing them in each others death grip panicked further and charged at the squabble screaming a scream that sounded like it might belong on the sound track to Jurassic Park (T-Rex voice over). Then offering my best high karate kick the swan who released my mother and stopped to have a quick "Oh no she dihent" moment, then proceeded to chase me, before realizing my madness was not worth it and going back towards angry screaming purple lady.
By this point my mum hopped past me on one foot with the stroller screaming "save yourself forget the shoe"
After running to a safe distance, we turned to observe the swan who was now back at the flip-flop marching back and forth, wings splayed and honking. The mother in me took over and knowing I did not have enough gas to go home to get my mother different shoes before going to Walmart I waited for the swan to go back to the water before running and grabbing the shoe then returning it to it's rightful (non webbed foot) owner.
Needless to say we both felt a bit like jello and rather shocked that nobody had come to tell us off for making such a racket never mind rescue us.
When talking to the owner of the park cafe she told me this swan manages to bite at least one person every year and is known for being aggressive. Slight shocked and annoyed that they don't have warning signs Beware Psycho Swan.
Okay, now we have that off our chest. I think it's time to go chill out!
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 48: Not So Fast.
Sophie isn't feeling the greatest, so I'll be doing the blog tonight. Today was a calm and quiet day, well as quiet as a day can be when you have 2 kids! We had a lot of fun and didn't do anything out of the ordinary. That's the great thing with kids, even on ordinary days things still seem great :)
Today's Positives,
1. James has been in a fantastic mood all day and has been smiling at everything.
2. We went to a healthy food store and Gracie got some fruit bears and absolutely loved them.
3. Gracie tried to play "Hidey Boo" with James. They were both giggling.
4. After our daily walk Gracie picked up Bays leash and walked her up stairs. I think she really loves that dog :)
5. James and I sat reading a book today, I think its great that my kids like reading.
6. Gracie got dragged a book and her baby doll to the couch and tried reading it to the doll. It was adorable.
Well those are some of the highlights, I hope everyone had a great day.
Goodnight,
Matt and Soph.

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!
Goodnight all

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!
Goodnight all
