Smiling!

Well Trace has been smiling at me for the past week or so... trying to catch it on camera seems to be a whole other hurdle! haha! He has also started to talk to himself when he is sitting in his swing or in his crib, I take out the video and yup he shuts up! Ahh well I will get him one of these days! His smile is so precious and I can't believe that he is already 6 weeks! Time is flying and I already want it to slow down!
In good news I am sleeping through the night which is awesome and we are moving in two weeks and I feel prepared! I have all of our extras packed and a list of other things that I need to pack in the next week, then the last couple of days will be spent packing up our dishes and glasses. I still can't believe that we are leaving. As excited as I am this is our first house, and so many other firsts happened in this house, first child, first dog, all the building we did (well K did!) and just feeling pride of ownership. I am super excited for our new house, it is bigger and I get a garage yipeee!!! But I have grown pretty close to some people up here and it is going to be really hard to leave them. You know who you are lol!
Well I have posted more pics below. I got the end of a smile and some pics from Uncle L's visit. That was pretty precious. To watch my little bro with Trace was so special! Plus he is the bro that we think Trace kinda looks like! The end of the smile! 6 weeks!!!!

His very first bottle of breast milk.
Just chilling, he was so cute I had to take a pic!

New House!

This is how he likes to take his naps!

In one of his sleeping outfits.... so precious!
The swing! I love it! So does he!!!

So we have finally, after 3 weekends in a row of going to Edmonton, found a house! The inspection is done and the mortgage is approved and we are goooood to go! I am so excited to move and so relieved to finally have it done! I have started packing up this house and find it sad walking around and seeing all of our house decorations and paintings not there anymore. It is just strange.

In other news my brother is finally going to come out for a visit. He is in Edmonton with his wife and is coming up for two whole nights to visit with Trace and who knows maybe he will feel the need to move a few boxes that I have packed down to the basement. I am hoping to pack a little more this weekend, but who knows.

K and I have invested in a swing for Trace, it is the rain forest fisher price swing and my goodness do I LOVE it. I can get ready in the mornings and he is just so content to sit and look at all the bright colors that he no longer fusses when I am not holding him. The other nice thing is that I don't have to worry about the cats trying to sit on his lap while he is in it as he is off the ground. Such a relief and I can't believe we didn't buy one before.

Well I have posted some more new pics of Trace so enjoy!

Time Flies..

Wow I can't believe that it has been a month already.. tomorrow is Trace's one month. I have been a mommy for a whole entire month and I have made it. Trace is doing well and I am loving it! We have finally bought a house as well... signed the paperwork today. Our house sold in 3 days and ever since we have been looking down in the Edmonton area for our new one! I love it. We are going to do a little work on the kitchen but other than that and a little paint in the bedrooms it is perfect! BIG back yard, double car garage and over 2000 sq feet of living space! yipeeee to a lot more room!

We went down to Edmonton 3 weekends in a row and I have to say that I am excited to spend a weekend here... haven't done that since Trace's very first weekend. Last weekend was our long weekend being Canada day and we stayed with friends of ours and got to catch up with other friends and meet their little one as well! I posted some pics of the weekend. Well Trace is fussing so I should go but enjoy the pics!
