Jacey and Daddy


Jacey wondering...why this family?

Still wondering...

Jacey with BFF Ember just visiting

Hey all, this is the beginning of our 52 project. There is a photographer friend who is doing this 52 project which encourages mom's to do photos once a week for 52 weeks(year) with their kids. This will document that YES, mom is there and the change in our little person. I am kinda excited to do it!!! Besides this there were a few more shots of the kid I thought I should put up and also blog, which I haven't done for a couple weeks.

We are pretty much same old same old. Jon is working away and I am still just hanging out. Although the last month has been hectic what with cross province visiting. We hung out with our fam in the Mac and then also with friends in Lethbridge and the Hat. Other big developments with the lady are that she has FINALLY moved out of our bedroom into her big girl crib and is doing awesome with it!! She has been having amazing nights...as have I. We have an MRI appt as well for the 7th of April and are waiting for that. Jacey is a popularly, busy kid what with swimming lessons and books for babies starting and her schedule is just busy!! (Sadly, her time is more in demand than mine) Alas, I have enjoyed her eating her big girl food more so that I can have time to go out and do things by myself more often, see a movie without wigging out that she is starving and whoever is watching her wants to give her away. All in all though the girl is fun and we sure love her lots!!! Just realized that our 52 project isn't on here, missed it, will add both next week!

Wow, I am a lazy blogger!

The lady with her new headband...

Daddy's little accountant helper

I remember thinking that when I decided to start my blog I was gonna be diligent, I was gonna be on this all the time and adding...lets not kid ourselves anymore. I am truly a slacker!!

Anyways things with the Bird's are good. We are busy with traveling again, have been to the Mac and also heading to Lethbridge soon. Cannot wait to visit with family and friends. Jon is still busy with work and enjoying it, I am enjoying the money aspect of it and also when he gets home to relieve me of my crazy messy mommy duties.

Jacey is just growing, growing and changing. We went in on Friday for an MRI, however since she had a cold the week before, the Doc's wanted to wait to do it. Her breathing is good now but they were concerned with her history of Apnea and didn't want to chance it when she is still congested somewhat. Sooo waiting again it seems!!! She is definitely developing though, her eyesight is better even though sometimes she gets a wonky eye. Also her limbs are slowly loosening up enough to manipulate a bit. She is still not grabbing for things or holding anything but now that she is looser hopefully that will come. She is just a very pleasant little girl, very relaxed and ready to cuddle always. She is starting this new thing of spitting on people, it is hilarious! She purses her lips and just lets loose this little spray, it is too funny! She taught Kingston her trick this past week.

But that is all that is going on with us now, hopefully it warms up more so we can go out for walks more often, we have tried her sled and its not her fav but she doesn't scream so it is positive in my mind hehe

Faces galore!

Wow, look at Grampa Hinko's baby blues


WHOA, what is that!


Jumpin, jumpin away from daddy


What a little ginger she is, holy redhead

Squirmy worm

So things with the Bird clan are just moving along. Jon is busy with a new job with a scaffolding company doing the payroll. Seems to enjoy it and well let's face it, I enjoy the paycheck that comes along with it. I am still just puttering around the house. Loving spending time with our lady. This girl is a goof-ball! She is definitely developing her personality and her likes and dislikes. Jacey has the best facial expressions lately and is all about the goofy noises and jumping on laps. We have put up her merry muscles and jolly jumper and she is getting into the hang of them...get it...the hang of them!! hehe She is still enjoying her cereal, she has tried her rice and oatmeal kind now and this week we will introduce some veggies...yummy slash blech! Anyways here are a few of her silly mugs for y'all!

Solids...or a sloppy solidish mess

A few hesitant bites, then SLURP

The thinking of like or dislike

The surprise of deliciousness

Announcing that Jacey Bird has had her first bite of pablum! We made some rice cereal (really runny) and she ate the crap outta it. She just stared at the bowl and spoon and slurped a handful of bites up. Too funny to watch and listen to. Here are a few shots of her experience...

Waiting at the airport

Well this month has flown by! I look at my last posting date and feel a little guilty actually. We have been busy as Jacey and I flew to Seattle along with my mom, two sisters and nephew. It was a really enjoyable trip and alot transpired while we were there. Sadly, Jenny's mother in law passed away the night we arrived and Jenny left right away. Ann will be sadly missed, she was a sweet lady and incredibly kind. We were sad to see Jen leave but knew she needed to be with her husband. On a happier note, the rest of us enjoyed our stay as did our fam we visited...I hope!! The babies had alot of firsts on this trip: such as first hotel(Kingston), flight(Kingston), ferry ride(both), swimming(both) and more! It was a fun trip. Lots of post baby clothes shopping and the outlet buying was redonkulous!!! Coming home was a little sad but we missed our men, so it was still ok! =) Here are some shots...
