This was a good week. We recognized a few cool things this week. It was our 2 year anniversary, the 2 year anniversary of our first trip out to Bella Bella and it was my dad's birthday. We didn't do much actual celebrating but it was a good week non-the-less.
Yesterday, I was shocked when I looked at Ryan. That kid is getting so big. He looked like a giant baby, not the 3 months that he is. We had to move him up a size in sleepers because his feet are kind of busting out the bottoms of the ones we had him in. He's still as cute and sweet as ever just huge. He has a doctor's appointment this week so we will see what the weight on him is. Last time, he was 15 pounds and Tyler weighed him on our scale and he was 17 pounds. I can't believe the size of this boy. I feel like he should be walking already. He's still so much fun. I love making him laugh and he laughs a lot. Those cute little giggles makes everything so much better. This morning he waited patiently for me as I slowly pulled myself out of bed. I looked over at his crib and he was kicking with eyes wide open. He is just the best baby in the whole world and I'm excited to get to share him with our families again.
We just sat down after doing a marathon of dishes. We've put them off as long as we could but it could a little ridiculous. We had no plates, cutlery, bowls, mixing bowls. We used every possible dish we could before we finally had to do dishes. There is just hardly no time to do house chores these days. Tyler is studying his tail off, I'm spending lots of time with Ryan and the chores take last place on our list of important things to do. We are also sort of packing what we can for our trip home.
We learned the other day that someone else will be staying in our place while we are gone. We aren't too thrilled about that. When people come for a short time, they tend not to care much about where they stay. I'm afraid they aren't going to treat this place like it's someone else's home, my home. I know the cleaners will clean up after this person leaves, but we know the cleaners around here don't do a real stand up job. It makes me feel icky thinking about someone else living in my home. One good thing is that we do get this place back when we move out here again. We don't have to move into another apartment. And we have requested that whoever does stay here isn't allowed to bring pets. I don't want a dog walking around my house when we're bringing Kitty back out here. I don't care if there is a dog in anyone else's place but we've steam cleaned our carpets and we don't want to do that again.
Ryan has been sleeping ever since I came back from a nice long walk this morning. I left him in his harness because the velcro that holds him in always wakes him up when I try to get him out of it. And naturally as soon as I typed that out, Ry guy woke up and was fiercely hungry. I'm typing this now about 4 hours after I originally started. He has the best timing.
Our afternoon was pretty awesome. Tyler took a break from studying and we did the dishes and sort of started getting ready for moving back to Alberta. We know we are coming back out here so we don't have to pack everything up. And we are moving into an apartment that is fully furnished with dishes and all that so we don't have to bring any of that stuff home. We are getting more and more comfortable in knowing we will likely be able to fit all we need in the vehicle on the trip home.
We just got another bag of clothes from our friends for little Ry. It's unbelievable how generous those people are. They are basically clothing Ryan for the first year of his life, and if we stay out here for a long time we would likely get more clothes. It's so nice having the next size up in clothes but we have so many clothes for him. We tend to just pick from the top of the pile and therefore the clothes that are on the bottom get forgotten about. Today, we cleaned out his drawers and found so many clothes that he only wore once. We currently have a pile on our coffee table that need to be packed away once we get home for kid number 2. It's unreal how many clothes he is now too big for. My boy is growing so fast.
We will be on our way home in less then 2 weeks now. I can't believe it. These last few weeks have gone so fast. I know that the summer will also go fast and before I know it we will be back out here again. I'm excited for this year. It's bringing so much change and it so fun to think about. Being home for the summer, enjoying camping with family and friends, weddings, Ryan playing with Madi and learning a bunch of new things, getting to meet Baby W #2, Tyler finally doing his MRI practical and not having to study every minute of every day. It's just so much fun to think about. And then we get to come back out here to be with our Bella Bella friends again. It's a fun year ahead of us.
I can't wait to come home though. 2 weeks!!!
