January = Hibernation

What a month January has been!! The snow that has fallen this month is unbelievable - and it won't stop!! The weather lady said that we got 2.5 feet in ten days!! Having never lived anywhere else, you would think that I would be used to this, but this truly is crazy - even for Edmonton. On top of the snow, it has been minus 30ish (Celsius people) and at least one member of the family was sick every week since Christmas, including cute little Tyson! At least the weather is giving us a break this week with plus digit temperatures and everyone seems to be over the flu, at least for now!

Poor Brock! I think he almost broke his back shoveling all of the snow - and this was only the start! The snow drift is twice as high as this now!!

Here is our patio the day Brock was shoveling above, day 1 of the major snow storm.

Here is our patio later that same week - where are my BBQ and chairs? Seriously, I was basically snowed in!!

Check out our roof! Crazy!

With all the snow and no one feeling all that well, Tyson and I hibernated for the month. Yesterday was also Tyson's 3 month birthday which he celebrated with a check up at the doctor. My little chunker is now 15 lbs 7 oz, but only 60 cms long. Basically, he is short and fat!! Here is a taste of what we were up to.

Before the snow we went for a visit to Great Baba's house. Ty looks so cute sporting his cute hat from Grandma and Gido. One of my first good smiling pictures!

Smiling for Mommy! A little tummy time in the afternoon.

Just looking cute!

Talking to Mommy in my Bumbo! I just started putting him in his Bumbo this week. He thinks it's pretty cool!

Playing with my Tummy Time Gym that I got for Christmas. This is serious stuff.

Just hanging out with Mommy.

The clip below is actually 3 videos in one. The first one is of Tyson rolling over, the second is talking and playing and the third is splashing in the bath. If you have 5 minutes to spare, they are super cute. Enjoy!

Tyson's First Christmas

After many weeks of waiting, its finally here.....our new computer (and Christmas came too)!! The first couple pictures below are a few to catch you up to Christmas. Tyson has changed so much since October-its really amazing to look back at the photos and see how much he has changed - and grown!!

First Monday Night Football game. Just like his Mommy, loves to fall asleep to the sweet sounds of football on the TV. I think I really only watch the 1st and 4th quarters of games - haha!

I was drying Tyson off from his bath and he decided he could hold onto the towel himself to keep warm. So cute!! Don't look - I'm naked here!!

Tyson's first Christmas was really nice. We spent a quiet night in at Grandma and Gido's house. Tyson slept through all of the present opening - but he had a great time once he woke up.


Tyson and Mommy all ready to go to church.


Tyson and Daddy - best buddies!


First Christmas as a little family - so much fun!!


Getting ready for Santa!


This is classic Tyson. He looks so unimpressed with me, but Brock and I thought he looked so funny with his stocking on his head. Sorry buddy - but you still look super cute.

Tyson in his Christmas bib and M & M onsie. Looking good little man!

On Christmas morning Tyson got some play time in with Gido. As you can tell from the video, he had a great time!
