49 Weeks

My little monster is now 49 weeks old. I can't believe his birthday is in a close 3 weeks away! (22 days away!) Gosh, that came fast...!

I saw these in my new issue of Canadian Family Magazine. Knitted apple cozies for your child's lunch to school. 12$ each, by jacquelineknits. Hmm. Very interesting. I survived lunches to school when I was a child without these. You actually think your child will come home with them at the end of the day?? I googled this, couldn't find her online.

Sean has been escaping the barrier we temporarily put up so that he can't excape the den so we put up this rail that my parents gave us. It's perfect for him (at this age) and he has not yet tried to climb over it yet. The den is right next to two sets of stairs, to the basement and upstairs, so we have to keep him in here when he plays with all his toys. This was our only solution for the den.

For dinner tonight I made veal parmasean (Mmmm!) and potato latkes for Chanukah. They were absolutely delicious. It was my first time making latkes, and it was a lot of work (and used a lot of oil) but they were sooo good! There was even leftovers for tomorrow! It was a lot of grating (onion and potato) and a few other ingrediants, and it was just too much fun to make them, and cook in my new kitchen.

I got some knitting done tonight on my nephew's Drive Thru sweater for Xmas. I will post progress pictures as soon as there is some! Right now it just looks like a blue tube! Nothing too exciting!

Sean took two steps on his own tonight! Jamie and I were watching the hockey game, and Sean let go of the foot stool and took two steps towards something else and didn't fall over. He made it to the thing he wanted which he then grabbed on to it! His first steps! I am sooo proud of my little man! I hope this means he'll be walking soon!

I booked my 19 week ("standard") Ultrasound, it's going to be on Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008. We are hoping to find out the sex of the baby that day - providing that the little one cooperates. Of course we're hoping it's a girl - I want one of each sex, and since we already have our little boy, a girl is wanted. However, should it be another boy, we'll still be very happy, as long as it's a healthy little one! Any healthy baby is good, either sex!
