I've been looking at fruit bouquets on the net and have been wanting to try making one. Soo...tonight I bought the fruit, recruited my hubby and went ahead and gave it a go.



Here's how it turned out...





















Ok so it looks a little lopsided, and the lettuce garnish on the bottom is wilted from the heat of the kitchen, and my first attempt at chocolate dipping strawberries didn't go so well but other than that it was a success! I have more ideas for next time to make things look a bit better but this one will still taste good!





On the Keiran front - poor kid is getting in many, many teeth. He already has two on the bottom, popped on on the top on sunday and is gonna pop another on the top soon and maybe two more on the bottom. We've had a rough 3 weeks and I'm just wanting 3, maybe 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night, is that too much to ask for???!!!! I'm crossing my fingers that this passes soon.





One cute pic to share of him before I call it a night.





We took him to the Calgary zoo when we were there for Stephen and Connies wedding and he got so tired he just passed out on his arms, it was sooooo cute!!!! Love that kid!

I love it when Daddy goes to put Keiran down for a nap. Sometimes he doesn't come out right away and I start wondering what's going on. This is usually what I find:

Yesterday Keiran was playing on the floor and Charlie felt the urge to join in. I think those two are going to end up being really good friends! Once Keiran gets past the grab and pull stage that is...





Just a cute shot of him playing with his blow up lion this morning.

A couple of weeks ago I put Keiran in the living room to play and went into the kitchen to do some dishes. I came back in a few minutes later to check on him and this is what I found!!!





And I thought I would just add a few shots of bathtime! He has so much fun playing with his toys!!!

This kid is just full of squeals! He now screams to hear his own voice, I think it's hilarious!!!

Easter!

Lucky Keiran got 2 Easter baskets this year! One from us and one from Nana!!


It didn't take him long to try and reach for them.
He wasn't sure what to think of the bunny, he thought it felt weird.
Playing with bath toys from Nana.
He loved this little egg that winds up and walks.

My Grandpa Johnston passed away recently so Brian, Keiran and I went to Vancouver Island for his memorial. We met up with most of the Johnston clan, which was really neat to see since I haven't seen most people in ages!
The day of the memorial, the cousins all went down to feed the ducks and I took a few pictures of Brian and Keiran that were really cute!
This first picture is of Lindsay holding Keiran and Savannah at Grandpas memorial


Keiran all dressed up and ready to go on a walk.
Daddy and Keiran chatting on the walk
Keiran got sick of his stroller so Daddy carried him
Like father like son. Very similar expressions, look at the lips!!!

Keiran and I were having fun the other week and I thought I would post a few pics from that...

We were at the MFRC last week for our wednesday morning play group and he was pretty tired. I got him home and put him down with a toy for a minute, turned my back and this is what he did.
He totally fell asleep with his toy in his hand!!!
He was sitting on Brians lap and sat up by himself!!!
Then he puked.
Then he sat up again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The other day I had Keiran sitting on the couch watching TV. It was really cute.

Then he started to fall over, so I let him...
I walked away for a second and then when I came back, this is what I found:
He is sooo cute! Notice the puddle of drool under his mouth.

Procrastinating time

I should be unpacking. I should be doing laundry. I should be organizing. I am instead going to post this cute video of Keiran. 2 (or was it 3?) days ago he woke up and he could talk. Sort of. He babbles now and says "aye-dah-da" and a little bit of "ba-ba" "nah-nah". It's so cool! And amazing that he just woke up one morning and could do it! So enjoy the video of his first day ever making those noises!

Preliminary house pictures

As promised, I'll add some house pics today! They aren't going to be that great since we just moved in and stuff is EVERYWHERE, but it'll give you a general idea. We love our new house!!! It's just so cozy, not super huge but nice and comfy. I'm sitting in the kitchen right now at the table while Keiran has a nap and it feels right. Nice and light in here (almost makes me think it's warm outside. ha.)

Anyone wanna come over and unpack and organize things for me??!!! Please????

That first picture is our living room. Hard to tell at this point what it really looks like but I'll put more pictures up when we get furniture! Notice the hardwood floor - sweet!

Next is the front entry that leads to the living room.

Now a few shots of the kitchen before we put the table in, more to come later once we get a new table.

Keirans room is next:

Our bedroom. We're getting new bedsheets!

the guest room (hint, hint)

Ok that's it for house stuff for now. I have some cute pictures of Keiran to add and I'm also going to try and add a video but I should get some stuff done first!!! I'll add pictures of the basement when we get things set up down there!

New pictures coming soon - I promise!
We move next weekend to our new house and I'll take pictures and post them.

Has it really been 4 months since Keiran got here? Honestly, where does the time go? I still haven't even gotten thank you cards out for baby presents yet!!! We sure are enjoying him though. He is all smiles and happiness. He has started to talk quite a bit (baby talk of course) and really likes being on his back and just happily chatting to us! I love it! He is discovering his voice and it is really cute.

We are heading to Calgary for Christmas next week. I am almost done shopping, just a few small things to go. It will be fun!

Ok, time to add more pictures. We went on a photo shoot at the Assiniboine park conservatory last weekend with my friend Nicole and she got a few really good shots!
