The Great Outdoors

Well, the weather has finally warmed up in chilly Canada. The last few days we've been happily enjoying temperature in the twenties. One day even reached the thirties! While it might not stay consistently this warm until June/July, it's sure been a nice change.

This warmer weather has meant Wonderbaby's been able to spend quite a few hours exploring the great outdoors. From wading in his pool, to chasing the dog, to eating grass, he's discovering the joy of life without four walls.

One of his favourite new pastimes is swinging. We took him to the local playground and introduced him to swings and slides. He wasn't too impressed with the slide. He frowned most of the way down. But the swing squeaked a smile from his worried little face. Which in Wonderbaby world means he LOVED it!

Here's a very short clip of Reed on one of the swings. You can hear the wind roaring around his little body. This just happened to be one of the colder days where the sun was out but the cool breeze lowered the temperature. Not that this dampened Reed's spirits. He was swinging!

That's all that really matters. :)

We've Been Very Neglectful...

...neglecting our blog, neglecting our health and neglecting our friends and family. Yep, sleep deprivation has swallowed The Lynch Mob whole and then very rudely spat us all back out!

It's all because our Wonderbaby is up to his old tricks again. He NEVER sleeps! Only this time he's out-doing even himself. He's waking every thirty minutes through-out the night and barely napping during the day. How he survives on so little sleep is actually quite amazing. The rest of us, dogs included, aren't doing quite as well.

Even our friendly pediatrician confirms he's in perfect health despite the lack of sleep. A bit skinnier than we would like but overall he's healthy. It seems teething is not just putting him off his sleep cycles but his food too. So we're attempting to fatten him up by feeding him as frequently as he will let us.

But, we're still alive and kicking. We're just a bit sleepier than usual and it turns out typing while tired is alot harder than expected. However we promise to update our blogs more regularly from now on.

In the meantime, if anyone has any sleeping tips (other than valium!) we're all ears.
