December!

Once again, I’m a little late in posting last month’s pictures. Fortunately, with Alex slowly starting to sleep better, I should also get quicker at posting them. He is finally going 8 hours in between his night feedings and hopefully he will soon sleep 12 hours straight and I will stop looking like a “mombie”.

When I’ll be out of my “mombie” fog, there’s a bunch of things I want to do : start the 30 day shred (Jillian, here I come), organize the huge pile of papers/bills that’s been accumulating in a basket in my room, shower more often .... oups!

In the meantime, here are my December pictures. Enjoy the cuteness!

Emma opening some more presents on the 25^th. The book she’s unwrapping is “Miffy” which is a popular children’s character from Holland.

And finally, ready to leave to her auntie’s house on the 25^th!

PS: Did I ever tell you about my husband’s cookies?

PPS : After an epic fail of an attempt, I finally succeed at making a yummy Yule log cake! It was delicious!!

November in photo

I know I’ve been slacking and haven’t posted anything in over a month, but having a 3 month old that doesn’t sleep at night and a tornado of a toddler takes all my energy (brain? What brain?).

The first week of November, we had our first snowfall! I don’t think Emma remembered last year’s snow because she was mesmerized!

Meanwhile, despite not being a great sleeper, Alex has been his usual cute self.

Around the middle of November, Alex and Emma paid a visit to their great-grand-parents. I’m so happy that they got to spend time with them. Emma loves seeing “Mémère” and “Pépère”.

The following week, Emma had a very unfortunate accident, but I won’t be posting those pictures because it was a terrible day for all of us. She fell, busted her lip and displaced her front tooth. Let’s just say it was a very painful experience, but she got to eat lots of jello and ice cream for a few days ;)

In the meantime, Alex has been practicing his tummy time and his chilling technique.

Towards the end of November, the temperature was still very warm for that time of the year, so we took them to the Ecomuseum. Emma loves to check out the otters, the white fox, the porcupines (eeewww they stink!) and the wolves (the big doggies).
