I have TWO teeth!

Well here it is, he's a two tooth man now! He's eating home made food, mostly because they don't offer much for baby food here on the Island. Favorite food is sweet potatoe, with ANYTHING. So thats how I get him to eat his veggies. And today he had his first piece of whole wheat bread and loved it, I was shocked.

Here is our little goof screaming his head off.
My men, oh so serious, watching tv together.

For Auntie Steph

This is for Auntie Steph as she asked for us to make a video. Mekhi has started to crawl, usually when he wants to get somewhere to stand up. I realized after the video that as he gets closer to me the poor kid goes cross eyes...Kellon's concerned that Mekhi will be cross eyed forever haha.

What a Day!

Around 10:30am myself and Kellon were watching a movie on t.v. and Mekhi was sleeping in my lap, we were actually just discussing going grocery shopping in about 15 minutes time. All of a sudden I heard one gun shot, I said "Kell, thats a gun shot" and he was like "not necessarily". Then when the second gun shot rang out we both stood up and looked out our veranda door window. What we found across the road was a group of cops, and a cop van. The police were in uniform and plain clothes and they were firing shots in one direction, we couldn't see what they were shooting. Then no more shots, the police van went tearing down the road and a group of men scattering in different directions. I was freaking out and Kellon was checking all doors were locked, then we heard two more shots fired but this time in the bushes closer to our house!!!
At this point I was debating climbing into the closet with Mekhi, closing the door and praying for the best. Instead I calmly put Mekhi down in his play pen to sleep, covered it up with blankets so no one could see him and me and Kellon watched from the window for more action.
When we heard no more and saw no more action we locked the door and went on top of the roof of the apartment building to see if we could get any more information. From the roof we saw two police men in plain clothes walking with their guns pulled out. They asked Kellon if we saw anyone, he said no and they said to get inside. So inside we went, stairing out the windows at police in plain clothes and in army gear with guns pulled walking up and down our road. I'm not going to lie, at this point I did say to Kellon "We came to Grenada why??".
About an hour after the action, and knowing that Kellon was going to have to leave for work, I begged him to go down the hill and talk to our neighbour who was outisde to find out the details on whats happening. So after telling me I had better plan his funeral (to which point I asked if he would like pink roses for his casket), he made his way, chest puffed out like a big man, down the hill.
My knight in shining armor returned with all the details. It turned out that this morning, being a Sunday, 4 men decided to try and rob a bank that is found over the hill from our place. (Repeat...on a Sunday, when the bank is closed). Upon being found the four men ran through the bushes over the hill, the police chased them to our neighbourhood and thats when shots began firing. Aparently the police caught 2 men however the other 2 were still in the bushes around our neighbourhood. The police had the bushes surrounded so they believed the men were still in there and thats why they were patroling so heavily.
Now it is 8:15pm and I have no more news, as far as I know there are still two attempted bank robbers running through the bushes in my neighbourhood. The only thing I have to say is STAY AWAY FROM MY PAPAYA TREE! Another day in the life.

7 Months

Mekhi will be 7 months old tomorrow and we have now been in Grenada for a month and a half. Just a few pics of our recent events, I don't have Mekhi's measurements because we don't have a scale, but he's heavy haha. He now has two teeth, both bottom ones and he's an absolute ham, whenever we take him into town he stares down women on the bus or in stores until they look at him then he gives them a big two tooth grin and tooks away. Yeah ladies man in the making.
Above is Mekhi eating his first baby cookie, god they are messy!

He absolutely loves starfruit.

We went down to the beach one morning and saw the local fisherman pulling in nets, it was pretty darn cool and then once the fish were out of the net they pulled out a scale and the fish were bought right there by peeps standing by, it was amazing. This fish went first.

Kellon and Mekhi watching the little fish being taken out of the net.

I've been meaning to get this on video, when Kellon brushes his teeth he brings Mekhi with him. Mekhi loves to participate...just watch.

My first tooth and bathing in the sun!

Well I was taking a picture of Mekhi in his Santa Bib that was sent from his Auntie Heidi in Autralia, came a little late but Mekhi loved it. Just noticed as I looked at the photo that I got his first tooth in the picture! I just realized that on the blog you can barely see it, so look on the bottom, right side looking at the photo.

Now today we finally bought a nice baby bath for Mekhi, he's been bathing in buckets or in the sink. But today he had his first fun bath time on the veranda in Grenada. He had so much fun.

Update on the Papaya

Yet another update from Kellon on life in Grenada, specifially, follow up on the Papaya!



We went to St. Davids, about 45 minute bus ride from where we live, to visit Kellon's sister, niece, nephew and brother. The kids had so much fun and Mekhi was so excited to see kids, he just screamed at them with big smiles on his face.


Yet another day on the beach, every time we go poor Mekhi ends up so exhausted and has a nap on the beach, what a life huh?

And just to prove Mekhi has found his Grenadian roots, he had to bust a move on the beach.
