We’re home!

We got home from the hospital today, thanks to some fancy footwork from Krystie.  Normally we would have had to stay for at least two days after the birth but Krystie got us out early, no one wants to be in the  hospital.

We got home to Bob and Brenda at about 3:30pm.  Ethan was happy to see us, but is still a little unsure of Aiden.  We’ll see how things go, I suppose these things are tough on a 2 year old that is used to being the center of attention.  Oh well! Time to share the spot light with your baby brother.

Aiden Kristopher Robinson-Vincent

It’s quite a handle.  Aiden was born today at 1:41pm.  He was 7lb 11oz and screamed his head off almost immediately.

Lift and let it rip

We’re having dinner and out of the blue Ethan leans to right, lifts a cheek and…. Let’s ‘er rip!

Of course he looked at us and smiled.

Yes!!

Two years of “No, No, No, No, No”… And all of a sudden he starts saying “Yes”.

Mommy… I don’t feel GOOO…

Went to the mall today to kill some time and ended up in the food court for lunch.  Ethan drank a small carton of milk and ate a few cucumbers, then told Krystie he wasn’t hungry anymore.  I took the trays to the garbage and before I knew it Krystie was yelling at me to get back to the table.  As I made my way back Ethan blew massive chunks all over Krystie.  She was literally covered in white coloured barf.  I had to buy Krystie and Ethan new shirts to go home in.

Same thing happened at dinner.  He drank some milk and then this look came over his face… and wham-mo… white vomit all over Mommy!

Trip To Ottawa

We just got back from a trip to Ottawa.  Krystie was presenting a poster at a conference.  I think this was the last time we’ll be travelling with Ethan for a few years.  Everything was fine except when it came to bedtime.  Ethan ran around the hotel room until 10:00pm.  He wanted nothing to do with the crib the hotel provided.  I ended up having to run down to Shoppers Drug Mart to get graval.  Three nights of graval was the only way we could get Ethan to sleep, and he had to sleep in our bed.  He is the loudest snoring 2 year old on earth.

We were in Ottawa from April 3rd to April 6th, 2009

The Big Exam

It’s not Ethan related but I wrote my first promotional exam today.  It was pretty hard and I hope I pass because I don’t want to write again.  Ethan was waiting at home to congratulate me when I got home, so that was nice.

The latest way to drive us mental

And just when you thought you had everything buttoned down, and there was absolutely no way your terrible 2 year old could wreak havoc on your home…

Now Ethan has decided to pull all the vent covers out and throw them around the house.

In steps Daddy to screw them all down to the floor!

Pug + Mud + Window = Pudow

And of course Pudow is how Ethan says pillow. Pretty cute if you ask me.

Big boy bed… The saga continues.

It’s been 7 days since we embarked on the journey known as the “Big Boy Bed”.  As I have been told this is a normal stage, but come on, give me a break!  Ethan is killing us, he just won’t stay in the thing.  He has absolutely nothing in his room but the following….

1. Bed
2. Chair
3. Empty dresser (drawers facing the wall)
4. Empty night table (drawers facing the wall)
5. Empty shelf (with no shelves)

Despite only having these things he runs around in there for 45 minutes before going to sleep.  How does he do it?  The terrible two’s are so much worse than I ever imagined.
