The boy is growing up and now thinks its ok to stand at his crib and blabber away while he is supposed to be napping.

St. Patty's Day
This year we stayed at home and enjoyed St. Patty's Day with just the 3 of us. We had a nice candlight supper with some wine (we've been drinking alot of the good stuff lately.... probably isn't good that we have 60 bottles in the spare room and another 30 on the way).

We've been busy!!
We have been a busy lil family (as usual). Dryden and I went to MJ for a few days and hung out with Stacey, Blake, Rhian and Jordyn. It was a good time we had some great food (Blake made beer butt chicken on the BBQ.. Yummo!!) and of course some wine. The kids had fun entertaining each other. It's super cute watching them all play together.

We also spent some time at Shauns parents farm in Manitoba. It is always a good time at the farm and D loves seeing his Grandparents (I'm sure it has nothing to do with them feeding him all kinds of goodies hehe). We took Dryden outside for a while to get some fresh air and to see the baby calves that were born that morning.

Dryden is EIGHT MONTHS OLD.......
That's right... The boy is a whole 8 months old. He came into our lives just 243 days ago. The last eight months has passed by so quickly but they have been the best months of our lives. We are so blessed to have such a healthy happy boy, we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Some Stats on the handsome lil fella:
Weight; approx. 21 pounds
Height; approx. 27 inches
This month Dryden has learned to sit all alone without falling all the time, he now sits or lays on his belly in the tub ( he will NOT lay on his back because he is too busy playing) he pulls himself up to a kneeling/standing position while holding onto furniture, turns on the blu-ray player and surround sound a million times a day, still rolls every where he wants to go with the odd army crawl, he moves around SO fast it is hard to leave him alone for any length of time.
He still won't eat canned baby food. So I still make pureed food and freeze it in ice cube trays or muffins pans for easy use. He loves eating bananas, my homemade strawberry/orange/apple puree, pureed broccoli, carrots and sweet potatoes. Last week I pureed chicken breasts and tomatoes which he also ate all up. Of course his grandparents still spoil him with lots of goodies including the cupcake my mom gave him to feed himself. D loves cake (because of Shaun's birthday and valentines day we had plently of cakes and goodies around here. Dryden will actually throw a fit if we have goodies and don't share)
D still has two naps a day. He has a morning nap around 11 and afternoon nap around 4 which he sleeps 1 1/2-2 hours for each. He is still sleeping through the night but will sometimes wake up around 6:30-7:30 for a bottle and then sleeps till 8:30-9:30. For his nap times and bedtime we lay him down in his crib with a bottle, turn on his Fisher Price aquarium and close the door. He usually falls asleep within 2-10 minutes. He never cries when we lay him down and if he decides that he is not tired he will play in his crib until we go get him. Sometimes if I am busy doing dishes or cleaning or having a bath I leave Dryden in his crib for up to an hour while he plays and talks to himself. It sure is a nice break whether he is sleeping or playing.
Dryden still smiles ALL THE TIME although he has started to throw fits when we have food and don't share or we aren't paying attention to him when he wants us too. He doesnt cry when he has a fit instead he moans and groans and he bangs his hands and feet on the ground and will put his head face down on the ground in hopes that we will feel bad for him.
Drydens teeth count is still at ZERO!!!

Well I hope the next few months go by a little slower than the last eight!!

February's Happenings
Well it looks like February flew past and well....... I didn't blog.... Not even once. Ooooops. So once again I'm looking back and seeing what we did for the last few weeks.
We started off February with some crappy weather (typical Sask). With that being said we never made it to my nephew Reid's birthday because the highways were horrible. We also missed out on visiting with my sister Sheri from Alberta who was home for the weekend with her new handsome man. (That was the first time ever that I have missed out on Sheri being home and not seeing her which seriously broke my lil heart) Then we had Shaun's birthday....... Shaun and I had a date night while Dryden had a sleep over at my mama's house. It was so nice to head out on the town for some alone time.
We also spent a few nights at my Grandma's house which was so relaxing. My mom, sister Stacey and her two girls Rhian and Jordyn went with us. Too bad the weather wasn't more cooperative so that we could have played outside but we had plenty of fun inside.
My mom also gave D his very first cupcake that he got to eat ALL BY HIMSELF!! Of course she left the cleaning up for me to do.
February also included our adventure to Saskatoon to see Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engval. Which was AWESOME. Would definitely go again.
We ventured to Shaun's farm in Manitoba to visit for a few days. I got to see a calf being born and we spent a few hours outside enjoying the sunny winter day.
Hopefully I will be back to post again soon!!!
