Today, Ryan is one month old and I can't believe it. He has grown so much in the last month that I'm starting to think he is part weed. What a great month it has been too! Tyler and I are having so much fun with him, even when he keeps us up late into the morning. He is such a special little man and we can't wait to see him grow even more.
We are now up in Sherwood Park again. We came up yesterday for Family Day. My sister was having my siblings over for brunch so we got out of bed and packed up all our things and made the trip to her house. And we were late. Tyler and I hate being late to anything but now that Ryan controls everything, we have to loosen up on our need to be on time. We were 45 minutes late for brunch but luckily for us, the waffles and eggs were still being made and we didn't miss any of the fun. And it was a great day. All my siblings and their spouses were there and it's always good to see everyone. We enjoyed great conversation and many laughs together. I love spending time with family as we always have such a good time talking.
Ryan started getting fussy and I couldn't calm him down with food so we did have to leave early. We also had to go to a toy store to spend a gift card Ryan got. We picked him up a play mat with dangly toys and some duplo. He is a very spoiled little boy already and people have been so generous to us. We are very appreciative of everything people have donated or bought for him.
After that, we came home for a short few hours before heading back out again. I had a date with Tyler's cousin and we needed more gas in the vehicle. Tyler's cousin, B, had asked if I wanted to go see a movie with her so that was the date. I fed Ryan in the parking lot of the theater before heading in to enjoy some movie time. Tyler took Ryan home to enjoy an evening just the 2 of them. We saw a very funny silly movie and enjoyed some more conversation. I always enjoying talking with B because she is awesome and we get along very well. Tyler came to get me from the theater and we came back home again.
We wanted to go to sleep right away, but Tyler informed me that my aunt and uncle from Denmark might be stopping over to see Ryan before they went back home. We weren't sure what time they were coming so we didn't go to sleep. We ended up watching movie trailers on the computer waiting for them to come over. They didn't end up coming over because they had a very busy schedule but we got to see my mom and dad before we went to bed.
We stayed up talking with them until we could no longer keep our eyes open. We were exhausted because Ryan kept us up late the night before. So we headed off to bed. Ryan had other plans. The turkey kept us up for a little while and then later woke us up again but it's to be expected. I'm not ever surprised at what he does because babies do whatever they want.
Today, a friend of mine from high school came over and we talked for about an hour and a half before she had to leave again. It was so good to see her again.
Our day looks pretty relaxed and low key as usual. In a few minutes, I'm going to wake Tyler and Ryan from their naps so we can go and get Ryan weighed. I'm curious to see how much he has gained in his first month of life. Then I'm thinking we might go to Chapters. I was given a gift card and I'm really looking forward to finding some good books to read. We then will head to Costco with my parents tonight for some vital things. We decided that instead of spending an arm and a leg on the same things out in Bella Bella, we will just bring them with us. It makes more sense this way.
I can't believe our big vacation is coming to an end. I'm still looking forward to heading back home and it's coming closer and closer. Maybe I'm looking forward to it so much because I know we will be back very shortly so our good byes aren't that sad. Sure, Ryan will grow a little in the 2 months we are gone but then we are here for 4 months. It's a good thing for us to be heading home. We get to be our family of 3 and I'm so excited for that. I get to learn how to make dinner while calming down a screaming baby - doesn't that sound like fun!
