It has been quite some time since I posted anything onto this blog. I now have lots of videos and pictures that I want to upload so its going to take some time. We went home to Scotland in January which was great fun and it was fantastic to spend time with our families and I am missing them all so much. We had lots of fun, we went bowling, we went to Edinburgh and Glasgow a few times and we had a birthday party for the wee one which was so nice. It was a little early but we wanted the grandparents to share in the special day. The flights were good not half as bad as we had expected so that was a great bonus. We spent lots of time with our families and that was what we wanted to do. Euan loved being the centre of attention and he certainly felt it when we came back home, back to just Mum and Dad. Graeme came home from Switzerland too so it was a great vacation.. I bought far too many baby clothes and shoes but it was really hard not too.
The birthday party was lots of fun and it was mainly family from either side and some friends too but it was lovely, Euan received some really smashing gifts and really he was spoiled rotten. I have some videos and pictures from our time at home, visits to the Irwin house and videos from his birthday party too.
Since we came home its been a bit quiet... we have been to the park quite a bit as we have discovered that Euan now likes to go into the swing. He loves it... so there is some videos of him on the swing and on the see saw and also in the sand pit which was from todays visit.. i thought it was a good idea. He had lots of fun but I had to strip him off in the garage before coming into the house.. i discovered lots of sand inside his nappy so he needed a wash before nap time. Lots of sand also went into the mouth which is to be expected. I am sure he will be just fine.
There is some pictures and some videos of his first dabble with painting and he did a pretty good job with no help from mummy or daddy. I was a bit worried at first.. I had bought non toxic paints but as you will see when the paint is covering his face and it was inside his mouth i began to think it might be non toxic to skin but you might not be able to eat it... but all is well and we may have a budding Picasso on our hands, that talent will come from neither of us that is for certain.
As you know its currently the winter Olympics here in Vancouver so I have included some pics and videos of recent events that we have participated in, not going to see any sports but we have been in and around town, so its been quite fun, but I am looking forward to it ending so we can get back to normal.
It was Euan's actual birthday on Thursday 18th Feb and Steven was working so we went to meet him on his break at a mall nearby, we spent some time at a kiddies play area and then we had lunch and he had his first real taste of ice cream as a birthday treat.
He did not seem to like it due to the coldness but he certainly wanted more.
There are some videos from his 2nd birthday party which was on Sunday.. (I know what a spoiled little boy :) We had some friends round with there kids so that was lots of fun too.
We also went to a place called motoring munchkins which is like a gymnastics hall, as you all know Euan loves to bounce so there is a video of Euan on the trampoline with his daddy, he had lots of fun but Steven was knackered.
Lastly there is a final video of the little one walking this afternoon with his walker he had a great time.. and he seemed to be upset when he ran out of space. We will keep encouraging him with it, but this afternoon was the first time he walked with it so that was very exciting.. Steven and I were bouncing around with excitement and it ended with Euan having a late bath and bedtime.
