Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

Last weekend we were blessed by a visit by Ryan's parents. Jared got a lot of cuddle time with grandma and Micah had fun swimming with grandpa. We went to some of the local touristy spots: Hockey Hall of Fame and the CN tower. We also went out to St.George to visit Ryan's aunt and uncle. It was a refreshing weekend for us and so wonderful to see family.

Jared One Month

Jared reached his one month milestone this week. We feel so blessed to have this precious little boy part of our family. This is the latest info:

1)   Weight: 11lbs 15 oz – he gained over 3lbs in 2 weeks. Length: 21 inches

2)   He does not like his arms confined. He most often will sleep with this arms over his head.

3)   He loves being carried around in the cradle position (so that he can look around and see different things) and have his bum patted.

4)   He grunts and groans all the time.

5)   He is very active on his mat and has been trying to roll over.

6)   We have caught random smiles that warm our hearts each and every time.   

Family Visits

We have been blessed to have Pam's family come and visit. Her brother, Bryce, can make the claim to be the first to meet Jared (to the envy of her mom and sister). He came over two days after Jared was born and was quick to introduce him to the wonders of the Blackberry.

Pam's mom came for a week and spoiled us with cooking and baking. Micah got lots of grandma time. She made him homemade play dough and lots of cookies. Micah showed her the local playgrounds and wading pool. We even went to check out the museum - ROM (since which Micah keeps asking to go back).

Jared got lots of cuddles and kisses from grandma. Grandma became known as the 'burp master', as she was always able to get the burp out of him after feedings. We are very grateful for her company and the help she provided while she was here and the freezer full of meals that she left behind.
