and finally…

We took Christian in for his 12-month shots the other day and there’s only one word to describe it all – waterfall! It was painfully funny watching him cry and scream and the tears just kept gushing out. The nurse asked us if we had any concerns about his development, and even though I know not all babies walk/talk before 12-months…she reassured us that Christian’s doing great and some things just take time.

Somehow her reassurance didn’t help…I kept thinking I should’ve done more with him, and I secretly blamed Jason for being such a lazy parent – he could’ve done more, too! I was walking at 7 months and Jason, too, before 1. So, what’s wrong with Christian? Then..finally…today…he took his first steps! *Whew* I guess we are not bad/lazy parents afterall.

Now, I just need to get him to drink his milk from the cup. He’ll use the sippy cup only if it’s juice, water or Chinese soup. But once I put milk in it…he just throws the cup back at me.

Birthday present from Grandma!

Jason and I took Christian, Grandma Bubbles and Smakey to Cultus Lake on Saturday. The weather was gorgeous – not too hot not too cold (could’ve been a bit warmer tho). The lake wasn’t as busy as we expected (we got there after 1pm). We found a nice spot in the shade for our little picnic and afterwards it was splash time in the lake. Though we didn’t get any pictures of Christian in the water, but we got quite a bit of before and after ones.

Hopefully, the weather’s going to be nice this summer so we can take Christian to more parks and lakes…maybe even Kelowna, too!

Warning: it IS quite annoying!
