A day in the life of Cyan

Hi everyone!

Ever wonder what goes on in a typical day as a 2 month old? Well, Cyan has decided to share her busy day with you. You'll all soon see that today's baby does tons of cool stuff!

7:25am - Cyan wakes up in her crib crying. Daddy gets up, changes her and brings her to mom for an early morning feed.

8:20am - Daddy gives Cyan a million kisses before leaving for work.
8:30am - Cyan falls asleep next to mom in bed.

10:15am - Cyan wakes up and is ready to eat again! Mom changes her diaper. The two girls sit in the bright living room for some food.

11:00am - Cyan hangs out in her bouncer chair and lets mom have a bite to eat. (Ellen is playing in the background, Cyan can't wait to be able to dance along)

12:15pm - Cyan falls asleep for a little bit in her bouncer. She soon wakes up and is changed to go out on the town!

12:30pm - Mommy and Cyan leave the house for the movies!! Silvercity has Stars and Strollers this afternoon and we are checking out Knocked Up!

1:00pm - The movie starts! What FUN!

3:30pm - We're home from the show. It was so great to go to the movies with all kinds of other babies. I got to eat as much as I wanted during the entire movie!

4:00pm - Mommy changes Cyan's diaper! Then Cyan eats again before going to pick up daddy from work.

4:50pm - We leave to go get DADDY!! YES!! Cyan loves picking up daddy every day.

5:00pm - Daddy is waiting for us outside his office! Youpi!

5:15pm - We head to Save-On-Foods to pick up some dinner. Daddy carries me around the store.

5:30pm - We're home and Cyan takes a nap while mommy and daddy eat.

6:30pm - Grandma arrives for a visit! YES!

7:00pm - Cyan eats again, she's a hungry girl.

7:30pm - Daddy goes to play squash. Cyan plays with grandma and mommy.

10:15pm - Daddy comes home from squash and tries to give Cyan a bottle. She does not want it today! Mommy feeds Cyan before bed.

11:00pm - Cyan goes to bed.

Bath time!

Just a few pics...

Cyan is so cute at bath time. Neil and I both think she is going to be a spa girl. She loves sitting in the warm water while daddy washes her.

Grandma was here today when she was taking her bath, it was too cute!

Growing like a weed!

Hi everyone!

Ok, I know, its been way too long for an update! Life is busy here with little Cyan!

Things are going super well. She's growing like a weed! I had her weighed on Tues and she was a whopping 10lbs 10oz! Wow, no more little tiny baby. She's still small and very portable but its still shocking to see how fast she's gaining weight.

I have been loving bringing her around in her Baby Bjorn. Let me just tell you, that is the best thing for a new mommy! Its so easy to get around with her snuggled on me. Neil has used it a few times too and let me tell you he's been checked out by the ladies with little Cyan on his chest. He's quite a yummy daddy as you all know.

I'm really excited to say that we have booked Cyan's first trip! We will be heading to our friends wedding in Toronto and will be going to Ottawa and Montreal. Cyan will be going to her first wedding (yeah! Jean and Lauren!) and will be meeting her great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and tons of friends. We are so excited. We'll be there from Aug 16th - 25th.

Ok... here are some pics for you to see how much she's grown!

Love you all

Cyan is one month old!!

Salut! Hello!

Well, big news over here. Cyan is now one month old! Wow, time flies (I know, I say that a lot).

We've been having a great time with our little angel. We still have lots of visitors and everyone adores our little girl.

I have been going for lots of walks with her this week. Cyan is a bumbleride addict (thats the name of our stroller). The weather has been so nice and warm we can't just stay cooped up inside all day! On Monday we went for a walk in the afternoon and later went for a walk with daddy. It was such a great day.

The biggest news now is Cyan's weight! We went to the doctors this morning and she now weighs a big 8lbs 8oz! That's 30% more than she weighed at birth. Needless to say the doctor was very impressed. I guess ALL that feeding is really paying off now!

I'm excited that she's made it to the 8lb mark. Now we can use our baby bjorn and we can start using our cloth diapers! SUPER!

Neil assembled her baby bouncer yesterday. WOW, does she love it. She's sitting in it right now as I type away on the computer. The joys of being a little baby!

Here are some new pics taken today for all of you to enjoy!

love,
Ladéna, Neil and Cyan

May 3rd!

Bonjour!

Well, today was Cyan's estimated birth date. She wasn't supposed to be in our arms until today! I am so happy she's been here 3 weeks already. It would have been a long wait!

Cyan is doing super well. She's eating tons... and I do mean TONS! We go on for hours her and I sitting, relaxing, gulping... Its very special.

I've got a few new pics for you all today. Cyan and her proud daddy and Cyan sitting all by herself (I posed her). Notice her cringing in that pic... just like daddy!

love,

Almost 3 weeks old!

Hi everyone!

Well, Cyan is almost 3 weeks old already. Pretty crazy how fast time flies!

Sorry it has been so long since I updated the blog, everyone has been asking for new pictures and the latest so here goes...

Last week flew by. We were busy taking care of Cyan and trying to organize our life a little bit more.

We were so spoiled in the last little while. We attended 2 showers with Cyan (they were supposed to take place before her arrival). It was great because everyone got to meet our little angel. We also took Cyan to school so she could meet my students. All the kids were so happy to meet her.

We had our second doctors appointment last week and at that appointment our little girl weighed 6lbs 14oz! I was very happy to hear this because it showed that she is indeed eating well!

Her umbilical cord fell off yesterday. That was another milestone. Neil was quick to take a picture... a special memory I guess.

Cyan is now sleeping in her room at night. We decided to move her into her own room because she was keeping us awake during our few hours of sleep. Her kitten noises are still adorable but when you have a 3 hour window to get your zzzzz's in you really need them. She seems to love her room. We are very lucky because she can sleep anywhere.

Another thing that kept us super busy last week was the launch of our new website. We have emailed most of you but for those of you that don't know about it yet Neil and I created a new site for parents across Canada to buy and sell their baby items. If you haven't seen it yet check it out: http://www.mybabystuff.ca, please pass the word on to your friends and let us know what you think!

Neil went back to work today. I was kinda sad about this. I really loved having him home with me and Cyan. The day alone was ok... our little girl seems to be going through another growth spurt and she decided to eat almost all day. Let me just say I was exhausted by 5pm!

Ok... here are some pics for all of you! I promise to add more pics more often!

Enjoy
