A Night Out

So Chris and I went for supper and a movie tonight without Zander! We had my parents babysit and it was nice to get out by ourselves for awhile - although one of the first things we said after the movie was "wonder what Zander's doing"! Earlier on this week we went and visited Zanders cousin Aidan - it's amazing to see how similar they are, definitely going to be double trouble! There is a picture posted above of Chris holding both of them. It will be interesting to see the two of them playing together in the summer as right now all they do is stare at each other and think "that's not the same baby that looks back at me in the mirror". I'm excited for Zanders first easter that is coming up - I keep searching for a cute easter outfit but so far I can't seem to find any boy outfits that dress him up as a chick or bunny - I guess he will be thankful for that once he's older! So happy early Easter everyone!

Growing boy!

So on Friday Zander went for another doctors appointment and we had him weighed - He now is 14pounds 11.5 ounces! I call him my little budda baby! I just love his chubby legs! We had an interesting week - we ended up babysitting Kaitlyn for a couple afternoons as Grandpa Mutlow had to have major surgery so mom was in Saskatoon with Grandma for awhile. Wow! Two kids is a lot of work - although Kaitlyn is at the age where she can help out, she would give Zander his soother and wipe his mouth when he spit up - although the thing she likes best is to watch him get his diaper changed! I've never seen any kid enjoy that so much! Grandpa we are happy to say made it through the surgery very well and was sent home yesterday!
We also had two birthday parties this week - Jaret turned four and Christian turned seven - I got to see what I'm in for with kids birthday parties!
This weekend we went to Saskatoon for an Epp family trip - we all stayed in the Sheridan and went waterslidding (okay well Zander and I just went hot tubbing) and then played mini golf yesterday. If was a very fun time - lots of good memories were made, and of course it gave us a chance to do some shopping also!
Zander has now found his toes! It's amazing to watch him touch them and then wiggle them because someone is touching them! He can sit for hours and amuse himself! Speaking of sitting that's another thing he is doing very well now - you still have to watch him and prop him up but he loves to sit up and look at everything that is happening around him - man is he growing up fast!

3 months old!

So today Zander is 3 months old! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by - to think that for 3 months now we haven't gotten a full nights sleep! Okay I shouldn't complain - he sleeps for around 7 hours a night but really we probably get around 5. Oh the joys of parenthood!
Zander is continuing to grow like a weed - we go for his 3 month check up next week -I'm excited to see how much he weighs - I know I'm definitely getting some strength in my arms from carrying him around. We received good news today - Zander is going to have another cousin this summer! Auntie Lita and Uncle Kevin are expecting! We wish them all the best.
Zander still continues to smile constantly and is trying to roll over - I'm dreading that day as then he'll really be less of a baby!
