Happy 2 month birthday!

It's been a busy couple of months and it's gone by so fast. Yesterday was Mattias' 2 month birthday and "Auntie" Cara was over for the day to visit. After walking Jax for about 2.5 hours we had lunch and all ended up having a nap :) Oh it was so nice to have someone play with Mattias for a while so I could have a really good nap.

On the weekend Auntie Jeanie came over for the day on Monday and we took Mattias to the rec centre for his first swim. He seemed to like it, especially the reflection of the light on the water. We were there about 20 min. fun fun!

Mommy games

Mattias was all smiles for this little game until daddy pulled out the camera. Oh well, he's really cute anyway :)

Still alive

This mommy thing is pretty time consuming and I haven't even been keeping up with my regular email let alone blogging or facebooking. But here I am!
Auntie Mayumi threw a baby shower for Mattias last weekend. The best part was that several of my friends that I haven't seen in YEARS were able to make it. What a great way to catch up. Mattias enjoyed being passed around and cuddled by all the beautiful women :) Yeah, he pretty much slept through the whole thing. We played some games - identify the baby food and a Baby-um version of cranium that Mayumi and I made up. All in all we had a blast.

This has been my first couple of weeks alone with the munchkin now that my parents have left. So far we're doing well. Jax is a bit stir crazy by the time I get Mattias fed, dressed and packed in the stroller to go out. He'll get used to it soon. My friend whom I met in prenatal yoga happens to live close by and we have started going on walks together along with our mom and baby yoga class. I've been playing hockey for about 4 weeks and have started getting back to the gym at least once a week. Hopefully all that will help me take off those baby pounds.

It's been a while since my last post but there's really not alot of new stuff going on. Just plugging away trying to get things done.

First month of Mommyhood

We celebrated Mattias' one month anniversary on Saturday the 13th... can you believe it's already been a month?! Much of it feels kind of dazy... probably due to lack of sleep and lots of visitors. We had my friend Duncan from Scotland ... currently living in Luton, England,

Peter of North Van just freshly home from Manchester, England,"Auntie" Mayumi the Surrey girl

and now my mom is here from good ol' Shelburne Ontario.
We also went to Sidney on Vancouver Island for Thanksgiving dinner with the Saville clan last weekend. Busy busy busy.

Rem went back to work last week when my mom got here... hmmm... :) He seems to be settling into being in charge quite well and gets lots of cuddles from Mattias when he gets home.

As for me, I'm back to my old self ...+ about 30 lbs though :( . I started playing hockey again on sunday evening with a recreational team really close to my house. It took me a while to find my balance. I took 3 strides on the ice and fell flat on my face!!! Anyway, the first period was a warm up period and after that I felt fine. Just a bit short on the conditioning end of things. My brain wanted me to get somewhere and my legs just said "Ya right!!" In the end I got a goal and 3 assists, not bad for my first time out 1 month post baby. Matt slept through the whole thing.

Hope you like the pics!
