Mitchell is 1 month old!

Wow - it is hard to believe that our little guy is already a month old! Crazy!


This month we have been spending most of our time getting used to each other. He is a good nurser and LIKES it for a LONG time. We camped out most of the time in the living room and at 2.5 weeks we started moving upstairs for bedtime. He is liking to stay with us where ever we go so independent sleep is not happening much. He is enjoying using the slings and the snuggle time they allow. We have the playpen and portable basket as well as the change table all set up in th eliving area to avoid extra travel.


We had 2 doctor's appointments (March 31st and April 12th) and 3 weigh ins (March 29th - 7-15; March 31st - 8-6/ 54 cm and April 12th - 9-9/ 55 cm). He is doing great.


We spent Easter Sunday at the farm and then to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner with Drew's family joining us as well. Our next door neighbours had a baby girl named Josie on April 8th. It will be nice to grow up with some playmates. We went to the Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival and have had several friends visit. We made it out to church and the odd errand but have generally been taking it easy. The daycare kids are all still coming with the help of Grandpa John and Nana Jan. Mommy's first walk to school with you was April 16th.

Generally everyone seems to be in awe! I still can't get over the fact that you are here!
