I took this little "chubbers" in for a check up this week. Since a couple weeks after birth he has definitely seemed like my chubbiest baby. So I was surprised to find out that he was only in the 32% for his weight and 63rd for his height! Which makes him my smallest baby. He's got he biggest chubbiest cheeks and thighs...just a big old marshmallow.
He got his first tooth today. He crawls all over and just started pulling himself up this last week. Which, in my opnion, he is way to young for. It's very frustrating because he's into everything! And has no interest in baby toys only in the rocks from the fireplace, paper, dog food and water...
He's a happy, sweet boy, and we sure adore him!

360 Wraps

The one thing that got me excited about Max needing a second helmet was that he got to get it wrapped! Another mom at Craniel Technologies told me about an amazing company, 360 Wraps, that will wrap (like a big sticker) your helmet for free. So I contacted them when Max had his first helmet and they told me that they have a big group potluck once every few weeks. But, that they want the babies to wear the helmet for at least a month after they get it wrapped. Since Max wasn't going to have that long on his last helmet I didn't think we were going to be able to do it. So, when we found out he'd have to have another one, I signed him right up.
We went in a couple weeks before to have the helmet measured and to pick out the design. Last week after max's appointment we headed over for the party. It was so fun to meet other people who's babies wear these things and to meet the amazing people who spend their time and money to wrap these little helmets. I can't say enough about their generosity.

The process is pretty cool.




This is the guy who makes it all possible.


It turned out so cute!


I haven't taken a picture of the back yet. But it's a dump truck and it says "Under Construction"

The other kids had fun too.

Being husbandless for 3 weeks...not fun. Getting to meet him for a few days at the end of that...very fun! I said goodbye to the kids at Grandma and Papa's and headed up to Calgary, Alberta to spend a few days with Jonathan while he was up there for work.
As soon as I got there we headed to Banff, an amazingly beautiful ski town in the mountains near Calgary. We walked around the river, saw waterfalls, ate really amazing food and chocolate, rode horses through the river, went hot tubbing in a huge underground hot tub, and just enjoyed relaxing without kids for a few days...It was amazing.








Lake Louise






Banff


There were elk and deer everywhere on the streets. We went on a walk through the woods and didn't see a single animal, but they were walking all over the streets.




Jonathan really wanted to go on the Gondola. The views were absolutely amazing. I have to admit I think it's a little freaky way up there dangling from a wire. There was a lot of snow at the top of the mountain. So, of course, Jonathan was seeing how far he could throw the snowballs down the side of the mountain. As I was rolling my eyes I saw every man up there doing the same thing! Whether they be, Asian, Hispanic, European...they were all throwing snowballs. I guess it's a guy thing.








Then we headed back to Calgary. After spending a few cold days in Banff we had some amazing weather in Calgary. That's all anyone would talk about was the weather. Jonathan had to work a couple of days up there, so I got up and got to run around the beautiful river, take my time getting ready, reading, meeting Jonathan for lunch, shopping.


The train Jonathan and I would meet for lunch. Colton loved this picture.


We went to the zoo, which was great. I especially love the Gorillas.




I already feel nostalgic about this trip. It was so fun and so nice to spend time with just Jonathan and I. It's good to remind ourselves every once in a while that we really like each other!

But we did miss these little crazy heads
