Holy boobiejuice batman!

I took Indigo for his last checkup with my midwife today. At 7 weeks old he weighs...

15lbs!!! And he measures 25 inches tall! Holy crap!! 5lbs gained in 7 weeks! Hooray for breastmilk lol
Loooooooook at these cheeks!! Oh I am just so in love with this little boy...

In other news...
My friend Pam and her kids were here Monday and Tuesday visiting from Seattle before heading out to Ontario for a month to see family and attend a couple of weddings. We took a day trip out to Drumheller to the Royal Tyrrell Museum and had a really fun (albeit long and exhausting!) day. Stupidly I forgot to check my camera battery levels and my camera died after taking only two pictures. Argh! The two pics I got are pretty cool though. They have this bubble wall at the end of a dark hallway, and beside it it talks about the possibility of airpockets being the source of the beginning of life and how it is still one of the biggest questions in paleontology. So these are mine and Pam's kids checking out the wall:




I had my cousin over last weekend for dinner. She's the one who was due 5 days after me with her first baby. She ended up going 10 days past her due date and had her baby girl 2 weeks and 1 day after Indigo was born. We were really tickled at the size differences between Indigo and her baby girl (who was 7lbs 13oz at birth). I get a real kick out of these pictures!! Her daughter is about 9lbs and 4 weeks old in these pictures, and Indigo is about 15lbs and 6 weeks old.

And lastly...a couple of really cute pictures of my little sweethearts :) Can I just say that it is some feat to get an in-focus picture of all three at once?! These aren't dead-on focussed either, but better than nothing!

Oh Nova, my sweet little helper. She just loves her little brother. And she changes diapers!! The other day I was in the bathroom and I could hear Indigo waking up from a nap...next thing I know Nova is handing me a wet diaper and telling me that she changed Indigo all by herself!!

And then, of course, we must not forget the obligatory naked cheeser face pic of Faeryn lol I swear she wears clothes sometimes!!

Not a great picture as far as focus is concerned, but I love it nonetheless...ah sweet sibling love
