Its a boy! Introducing Andrew Rodney Tait

Andrew has arrived! He was born on Wednesday at 8:30 in the morning. He weighed 7 lbs, 13 ounces. Upon arrival he screamed very loudly and then proceeded to pee all over the heating table in the operating room.

He is very content and happy baby who insists on being held as much as possible. He is eating VERY well so I suspect he is going to be outsizing his sister before long.

Matthew, Anita and I are doing really well. I am recovering from surgery, Matthew is getting used to the new sleep schedule (ie no sleep) and Anita is taking her older sister duties very seriously (ie informing me when the baby needs changing, is crying, is breathing, etc...).

Thanks for all your messages and well wishes while we were in the hospital. Here are some pictures of Andrew's first few days.

Anita's Second Birthday

Wow it has been a while since I have posted anything. Sorry about that. I am back on maternity leave now awaiting the arrive of baby #2 due Sept 24th.

Anita's birthday just passed and she had loads of fun. Thank you for the cards/presents, well wishes, etc.... It really was a perfect day for her. Play all day, eat pizza and ice cream cake, and get some really cool presents. It was just Grandma & Grandpa Noad, Mom & Dad, and Auntie Colleen but that made it really quite nice as she wasn't over stimulated like last years party. Here is a slideshow of Anita's birthday.

Anita Dancing

Anita always danced. But we actually captured her on video this time. Ha Ha. Enjoy.

Anita's First Steps

Anita's first steps. We originally took this video to show Grandma and Grandpa Tait how she "walks" on her knees. She took the opportunity to actually start walking.

She REALLY liked Nico when he visited - all of the videos were showing off for him.



Also, wanted to mention that we did receive her birthday presents from Uncle John & Auntie Claire - the book is fantastic, really fun to read - and Grandma and Grandpa Tait - CUTE outfits and little people set. Thanks so much.

Miss you all lots. We are finally getting around to wedding planning so I am getting excited about you all coming to Canada for a visit.

Enjoy the videos:
