Happy 1st Birthday Kingston

 
Today I was filled with so much joy and happiness, that I cried about four times.  The tears of joy are the best tears to shed.  Today is Kingston's 1st Birthday.  To him it was just an oridinary day but for me it was another milestone in his life that I was blessed to witness.  I'm looking at his one year calendar and its filled with many milestones I'll always remember.  This very first bath, first visit to the pedertrian, his first giggles and frowns, his first baby word, first time we crawled, then when he took his steps, and now he's developing into his own little person.  I know when he's a little bit older and I tell him these things it won't be a big deal, he'll probably even give me a "ah mom, you wrote those down", but to a parent watching their child grow its probably the most important thing, to be able to witness those precious moments.  Raising a baby is hard but I love the rewards.  I can't wait to see what else this little boy has in store for me and Ned (well maybe I can).  Happy birthday to my little boy, Kingston, who has made me and his dad, the happiest people in the world on this day one year ago and still very happy.  WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!

Costco Holiday Party 2009

Kingston's 1st Christmas 2009

Kingston's first Christmas was busy.  Christmas morning we headed to grandma and grandpa Casault's house for breakfast.  He opened the wooded toy he got from grandma and pretty much didn't care for the rest.  He didn't really play with the pretty wrapping papers.       

Kingston's not really caring about the gifts.  Maybe next year.

 

Grandma just enjoying it all!!!

Grandpa enjoying his gift.

Christmas evening we headed to my sister in-law, Sherryann.  She had a buffet of goodies and of course my blood sugar numbers were off the hook and we all had the best secret santa gift exchanges.  I don't have pictures of Christmas Eve, but we also headed to my aunt's house.  I will have to steal some pictures from my cousins and post them later.

These guys have the spirit!!! What a great holiday season it was.

Laughing his Butt Off

I just have to share this funny video of Kingston laughing at my sister's dog, Bellah, while she was playing with her doggie toy. 

Kingston Update

Mylene's 2nd birthday party

I'm seriously sluffing on posting.  I have some Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures I'll post as soon as my netbook returns to me in a few weeks.  But since I'm updating you, let me just say how super excited I am for my little boy to turn ONE years-old.  It is crazy how fast a whole year has gone.  Kingston has made major advances, since I last updated.  He's taking steps not fully walking about at least he's got his balance.  We are going to his ONE year check on next week so I'll share everything the doctor tells me about his progress.  I'm goin to post a few videos for the steps and his favorite new thing to do, clapping his hands.

Its a Boy's World at my House

My world is blue, but in a good way. I'm happy to announce that Kingston will be a big brother to his future best friend, Zatique (? not positive on the name yet?), his baby brother. I'm feeling a bit sad that I'm already moving some of Kingston stuff to another room so his room can go to his brother. There's a custom changing table in the room and Zatique will be using Kingston's crib. Once the baby is born Kingston will have a toddler bed all ready for him in the "green room". I have a lot of nesting to do. There's so much of my personal crap to get rid off or at least move downstairs. I hate to do it because our downstairs really needs to be remodeled or at least upgraded. I have a doctors appointment today and I think they have some bad news from my blood test because I got a call from the nurse the day before my "reminder" call from the reception about my appointment. No sense in worrying or being negative, I'll just post the results when they tell me tomorrow.

First Halloween

Kingston was a lion for his first Halloween

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again, time first by so fast. This was Kingston's first Halloween. Mama put him in a lion costume. I almost cried because I was scared he wouldn't fit it. I had bought it a month early and when he tried it on at the store it fit him with even a little room, but a month later it was high water. I couldn't believe how much he grew in a month.

Can you see it? High waters?!?

We had a very lazy day. We hung out at home all day until late afternoon, then we were off to grandma and grandpa's house for an early dinner. The boys attempted to trick-or-treat but none of the neighbors had their lights on. No trick!!! I honestly did not want to take him in a public place, due to the swine flu situation. Kingston and I at the time still haven't had our H1N1 shots. Maybe next year with his new little sibling. I have more photos posted on my facebook page.

Too Cute!!! I know Red was not happy being a hotdog...haha...

Kingston will be a BIG BROTHER!!!

Yes, already!!! We planned it and we are excited. Kingston and baby#2 will be 16 months apart. I know two little ones in diapers. We are not crazy we, more like me, just wanted to "get it over with". Baby #2 will probably be our last one. The morning sickness alone was enough for me to call it quits. But if I don't get my girl I might try for baby #3, maybe, a BIG MAYBE!!! Mama is doing well, besides the normal morning sickness. The only other issue is I have gestational diabetes. I have been doing well with portioning and NOT eating sugars, so I pray the baby will be healthy. I haven't had an ultrasound so I have no pictures and no idea of size, I haven't even heard the heartbeat. I will post pictures and news next week when I see Dr.Martin.

As far as Kingston, he is doing well. He can now crawl on this knees and lift himself up with assistance, like his crib, the couch, mama when she's sleeping, etc. He is growing up so fast. Only a 3 more months until his first birthday. I have yet to plan his birthday. I do have a goal of finding a venue by the end of this month so I can at least make invites. I still need ideas for food, entertainment, and everything else. I'll post pictures when I get my netbook back from Dell.
