This weekend was great. We had a great time. Friday night we just took it easy, after we got home (Kelly came into town w/ Trish and the baby for lunch) After we went home we had dinner, fed Taegh some food, gave him a bath, and we all just hung out. That boy is amazing, what a total miracle.
Saturday Kelly had an appointment, her mother and her had an attunement to Integrative Energy Therapy (IET) Taegh and I spent the day together. It is the first time we had spent an entire day together. We played, we went for a walk with Rhea, I gave him a bath, fed him, we watched some football. Being a father is an indescribable experience. I could never imagine NOT being a father. Saturday evening we went over to the inlaws for dinner. It was nice, everyone got to see Taegh, he is such a ham. Always laughing and flirting.
Sunday we got up early and headed out to Bayshore. We all had a great day, we did some shopping, some Christmas shopping for Taegh, that was so fun, god I can't wait until Christmas day :) We went for lunch at Moxie's, we were at the mall all day. We left our house at 11am and didn't get home till 4 and not once did that amazing little boy, didn't fuss once, or cry or anything, he was a total angel, how blessed are we that we can go out w/ our son and he has a good time all day !!!! Sunday evening we went back over to the in laws for dinner it was nice not to have to cook dinner.
All in all it was a great weekend!
Love you Taegh & Kelly

A true wonder
As I sit here this morning my mind wanders, with thoughts of happiness and excitement. My life has in the past few years changed dramatically from what I thought it would eventually become. I wondered if I would ever marry, yet I found a beautiful, wonderful, caring woman. A woman who, has become my best friend, she has a wicked sense of humor and can make me laugh like no other. In our years together we have shared many wonderful experiences, we had a truly memorable wedding. Our honeymoon was fabulous, spent in Quebec city. As our life together evolves and develops it truly has become a wonderful experience. As we spent out time together we bought a new house together, a house that is ours, that we can build, grow in and start our family in.
After a few years of being together we were blessed with the news of a little one on his way. I never thought that it could have this much of an impact on my life. But as I have learned and spent time and watched him grow. It truly is a miracle and it truly can only be described as a life altering experience. My son is a wonder, he is a miraculous child. His smile can light up a room.. He has the best laugh, where he has this little screech and his whole body shakes. I am in awe, as he watches things and sees things, as I take them for granted; he sees them with amazing intent, the paint on the wall, the hanging mirror, and the raindrops on the window. As I attempt to see with his eyes, he helps me see life in a new light. My wife has become an even more wonder in my life as she grows into an amazing mother. His determination and will and drive to succeed, makes me proud as a parent To watch him concentrate on sitting up or standing, or figuring out what we are saying, at holding a block in his two hands. Life is grand, and to be taught how to see again, is a wonder, to not take things for granted, having your son as a teacher truly is a wonderful experience.
To my wife, my son, you truly are my miracles, my friends, my family. You truly both have brought me to new heights in my life, that I truly never could fully thank you both for. Without you I wouldn't be where I am, without you I couldn't have goals and visions of where the future might lead.
You truly both are wonderful people
Here's to you My love, my son, my life!!!
Love you both Kel & Taegh
Bobby - Daddy

Engagement? Congrats
Friday night we had friends over for their (well more our for them) engagement party. They are really good friends. Unfortunately we don't get to see them more often. Anyways Friday night, we had them over, Gare & Laine and Liam & Allison over for dinner. It was a great night, friends, laughs, and generally fun times.
We did a end of summer bbq, it was great food, salads, potatoes, veggies, it was wicked. Mark, good choice on the ring. We got a cake company to make a miniature wedding cake,
Everyone had a really great time, a few drinks and lots of pictures, check them out...HERE
Have a good one and I'll make sure it's not another month before I post.

The changes are prevalent
Seeing you grow is astounding. You are growing so fast. You spoke your first words, you stand on your own. You giggle, giggle to make me laugh, giggle to shake your tummy. I can't believe that such a little boy, can change your day in an instant. I can come home from work and have the worst day, and as soon as I see you, my day is forgotten, you are wonderful.
Last night I put you on my hands and made you fly, you were laughing so hard, you had so much fun. I was laughing too, it was great, you have the most wonderful smile buddy, god you could bring peace to the middle east.
I could never have imagined having a son been so much fun, been so easy, AND been able to sleep.
Taegh, you're amazing, you're wonderful and I love you sooooo much!!!

Exploded head of husband
Alright, this is a simple tip for all you wives out there. And listen up. If you like the way men do things for you, get you things, treat you, then you cannot, I repeat CANNOT do things that will cause their head to explode and their brain to leak out their ears.
My wife, (god I love her dearly) today, asked me to pick up a bag and a card for the gift for her parents anniversary. Now my wife (god i love her dearly) is EXTREMELY anal retentive when it comes to gift wrapping, and usually when I pick stuff out, it's not what she likes. Well today my wife (god i love her dearly) wants me to do this. She wants me to pick out a bag for the gift that will fit the box the gift goes in, then she wants me to get a card that matches the bag , then my wife (god i love her dearly) wants me to buy tissue paper that matches the card that matches the bag. Then my wife (god I love her dearly) wants me to pick out a ribbon, that matches the tissue paper, that matches the card that matches the bag to fit the box that the gift goes in.
.....the writer of this blog is no longer here his brain has EXPLODED.

So apparently, my son missed the "babies never sleep" train when he was born. All throughout the pregnancy friends, family all talked about how we'd be soooo tired, and sleep deprived and how stressful it is. We had friends that had a baby 3 months before us (and their child was colicky) telling us how hard it was, how much sleep they didn't get etc.
WELL... have i got something to tell you
Our son, our wonderful, beautiful, smart, son sleeps, he sleeps like a rock, he sleeps like a baby, he sleeps like every metaphor to sleeping everyone has ever made. Oh and if you think I'm kidding, keep reading.
The first few weeks of our son's life, he slept completely through the night. We would put him down at 11:30 or so and he would sleep until 5:30, 6am. Damn that's a good boy. After that it was down to 3 or 4 hour chunks. Asleep around 11 wake at 2 or 3 feed and back to sleep for the night. He always slept in our room, or in our bed. Well recently (he's 11 weeks tomorrow) we started putting him in his crib. Well one of the first nights we put him in his crib @ 11:30 at night and he slept through the night again, till 6:30. 7 Straight hours.
Oh and just cause I'm so proud of my son, last Saturday we all went to bed @ 9:30 he slept until 3am fed till4 and then slept again until 9am, almost 12 hours w/ a new born, can you believe that,
YAY SON
Daddy's little boy.

Suddenly I See...
Appears the author of the song who's title matches mine knew what she was talking about.
I see you, watching me, watching your mother, the dog, all of it, taking it in. You watch with such concentration and dedication. Trying to figure it, us, all of it out. You learn more everyday, you make new sounds, you hold your head up more.
You have become experimental w/ your voice. Making different sounds, gurgles, giggles, high pitched screeches enough to shatter crystal (good thing we don't have any) pouty sounds when you're just plain sad.
Suddenly I see, what it all means, to be a father, to look down at you watching me w/ such admiration, making me so proud to watch you try and sit up, or watch how much you have fun when I hold you and you stand up, or when I'm giving you a bath.
Suddenly I see, what it all means, to have a son, a child to be honoured with that responsibility. All I can say is wow!!!
Suddenly, I do see!!!
Love you son
Dad
