Euan's 1st Christmas.

We had a great time over Christmas it was pretty quiet and we did not do too much. We got up and helped Euan open his presents, built up his toys and skyped with both sets of parents which was very nice. We went to Burnaby Lake, fed the ducks and then came home. Christmas dinner was Roast Beef and it turned our really well, we were all very surprised.
This pic is a little blurred but thought you would like to see him using his car. Its actually a walker but can be used as a little seat too. He used it a fair bit on Christmas day but has not really used it since. Hope he gets into it soon and learns to use it properly.
This pic is just very cute, so it had to be included.
OOH exciting!!!!
First thing on Christmas morning when he came down to his presents. There are quite a lot there for a 10 month old. I swore i would not do it but i have to say in my defence it was all very cheap.
This was on Christmas Eve after bringing the bigger presents downstairs, after Euan had went to bed.
Euan watching one of his baby Einstein dvd's.
One of his favourite moves at the moment crawling and climbing inside the exerciser, once he gets in there he is very stuck and he cant get back out again.
The Olympic rings overlooking Canada Place.

The video is really the only exciting one that I have taken for a little while. Its just after we came downstairs on Christmas morning and its just looking at him with his presents.

Winter time..

Well dont have too much to update. The pictures we are putting up are mainly from a baby gym called motoring munchkins.. it was a little too old for Euan but we went around playing with the toys and he seemed to quite enjoy being inside this car getting wheeled around, as you can see from his smiley face. He already has the bad driving habit of putting his arm behind him on the seat, hes going to pick it up quick! The other pic is one that Steven though would be funny, you know he likes to stick things onto heads, it used to be the cat now he has a person he can do it too. Euan did not actually seem to mind too much and he thought it was quite funny. This could be your little Christmas present sent by air mail!!! The first pic is from the Rogers Santa Claus parade we were standing like this on the street for about 90 minutes in downtown Vancouver, Euan was pretty good, he was crying towards the end as he was bored plus it was freezing, he was nice and toasty, Steven and I were cold so we left and went to a restaurant for lunch/dinner instead. We missed Santa but I dont think it really mattered.

I am uploading 3 videos, 1 is of him just playing with a toy and making noise its not particularly interesting but I though you would like to hear him a bit more. There is a video of him touching the cat, he had just woken up from a nap and its pretty cold so I had him under the cover while he was sleeping, as today he has his first cold. The last video is of him clapping his hands, we have been trying to get him to do this for ages, with no luck and today he started doing it with no prompting and it now seems to be one of his favourite tricks today. Its a little bit clumsy still but mummy and daddy were both very proud.

We have not been up to that much lately.. its to snow all weekend so not sure what we will be getting up too hopefully something exciting. This week we went to a playdate with our friends Francis and her little girl Elise, she invited us and another 6 mummies and there babies so it was pretty noisy but great fun, on wed we went to the cinema and the film was awful so we walked out after 40 minutes and came home. Yesterday I went to Metrowtown to buy a toy for Euan for CHristmas and ended up buying him a little phone toy that he can play with now. I swore that I would not be the kind of mum to spoil my child like that, but when I was there I couldn't help it.

This weekend Steven is off so hopefully we get to do some exciting things, as I said before it has been forcasted to snow all weekend, so not sure what the roads will be like. I want to go and see Santa to get a picture with Euan on his first Christmas and maybe ride the Christmas train in the late afternoon once its dark. There is a special event on tomorrow morning at the aquarium for members starting at 8.30, its very early in the morning and Euan has a little cold so we will need to see how he is tomorrow morning. We will put up our Christmas decorations on Sunday so that will be interesting but nice, looking forward to seeing Euan's face when he sees all the lights on the tree, he loves trees so I dont think we will be able to keep him away from it, it will be just another obstacle to drag Euan away from every 5 minutes.
