So many new things!

So Uncle Clinton came to visit yesterday and Mekhi got to hang with him for a while. Then our busy day began, lots of pics, play time on the floor, family photos and a walk all the way to McDonalds (purely to get an ice coffee he ehee).
After such a busy day Mekhi had a great sleep with his new friend.

Today I decided that it was time Mekhi tries Baby Cereal. We firstly examined the box to ensure we were ready.


Once we both agreed it was time then the show began, although funny faces were made he seemed to like it and ate about half of the bowl (one tablespoon of baby cereal was used). I'm so proud of my little boy, he's getting so big!!!!

Reunited!!

Well here we are in Petawawa and the kids did not play strange at all. Kaden absolutely loves his baby cousin and calls him "Ki" because he can't say the full name. Ireland however is very upset that Mekhi has curls and tries to pull them out of his head on a daily basis. What can I say, their family hee hee. Mekhi has so far had his first time in a jolly jumper, we went for a walk and Mekhi tried out his snow suit, which matches Ireland's only her's is pink, totally adorable! And we went to visit Aunt Hilary and Rob (Hilary's boyfriend) and saw the snake. And while we were at Hilary's house MEKHI ROLLED OVER!!! BACK TO FRONT for the first time!!! Oh my baby is so big sob sob :( Anyways i'm attaching a bunch of pics so far and will continue while we visit.

Tough Love

So today I decided that children are never to young to learn. So I decided that Mekhi would benefit from being put in jail, as this way when he's a teen I can say "you've already been in jail once, no need to do it again". Hahahahaha. So here it is, Megan and Mekhi's day in Jail!!!

Mekhi's Play Date

Well earlier this week Mekhi had a play date with some older babies. Friends of mine and their 6 months old babies. Mekhi had a blast, was so tired afterwards he slept the whole evening. I was showing Mum some of the pictures that one of the other Mum's took of Mekhi and she told me to blog them. So here they are (no pics of the other kids, some peeps are funny about that stuff so I don't post them).

Mekhi has been sucking on his hand, so in the effort to try to break him of it I bought him a friend, his little duck. I put it with him in his car seat to keep his hands busy, has been working so far.

Feels funny cause my life is now Mekhi, all my posts, Mekhi. But hey...he really is so much fun. Can't wait to bring him to Petawawa to play with Kaden and Ireland and see his Auntie Hilary and Stephanie. Anyays hope everyone is well!!!

3 MONTHS OLD!

Well Mekhi is now 3 months and has decided that he's a big boy now and wants to sit like a big boy. Can't wait until we get to Petawawa, look out Ireland...he's ready for you now!!!

Few pics from Vancouver/Squamish

Well we made it back to Kenora, our second visit with Kellon was amazing. The bar manager gave him the full morning off so we had from 8am to 3:30pm together. Time flew by as usual, but we had an amazing time. Mekhi and Kellon played together which was just amazing, they are going to be trouble together when Mekhi is older haha. So just a few pics now that I finally have been able to download the photos from my camera. Their of the 2 weeks,

Kellon also made a video for Mum, a while ago she knit him a hat and mitts, so I gave them to him, here is his reaction.

And Mekhi finally figured out how to go from his front to his back, again i'm lucky cause I got it on video woo hoo!

And finally we arrive home and Mekhi got to meet his Great Grandma and Great Granny

Our Day in Whistler

Our time has been going so great in Squamish, we've been walking, sight seeing and just enjoying the mountain air. Today we went to Whistler with Amanda and Steve. We even got to bring Mekhi all the way up to the highest peak of the mountain. Mekhi slept most of the way, but we did get to show him a few sights.

Vancouver and Daddy

Well we have arrived, safe and sound. Got to Vancouver, took a cab right to the hotel and because the room wasn't ready me and Mekhi went for a walk around Vancouver. Then Amanda and Steve met us in Vancouver and we all went for a nice tour of Vancouver, Mekhi loved all the activity and we went to a fountain which BLEW HIS MIND! We all spent the night at the Fairmont Waterfront and then at 7am me and Mekhi watched Kellon's ship come in. Kell got off work at 9am so we met him there. It was amazing, his face just lit up to see Mekhi and we spent a few hours on the ship visiting with friends of mine and Kellon's. Mekhi got to hang with a bunch of his Grenadian peeps. Then we went, got lunch and hung out at the hotel for a while, Kellon got to feed Mekhi a bottle which was so cute!!!!! So the time just flew by again so quickly and before you knew it Kellon was running back to the ship (totally late oops). Oh yeah that was because we met up with Steve and Amanda and they were great and took a bunch of family photos for us. Thanks to them we got some fab photos. Anyways that was our day with Kellon. Now we are in Squamish, chillin and enjoying the mountain air, its much cooler here then it is in Kenora. I did have to go and buy Mekhi a new hoody as we have all summer clothes really. Anyways, having fun and hope that all is well with everyone else. I'll post later.

Video's for Daddy

So finally I was able to get these videos up. The first one is from swimming yesterday with Granny and the second is Mekhi chatting all about his day at the pool. I've posted these for the family to hear and see Mekhi as well as for Kellon to do the same.

Mekhi the Fish

Today was a very busy day in the world of Mekhi. We went to Baby Group at the Library and this time there were quite a few babies Mekhi's age. It was nice, Mekhi talked away to anyone who would listen and spent about 15 minutes chillin in a Bumbo chair, turns out he loved it. Then we met Granny at the pool for a 30 minute swimming lesson. It was great, Mekhi was so relaxed int he water, he just loved it. Basically once we got the lifejacket on him he was content to drift around, kicking his legs like a frog. We did make a video but unfortunately blogger has not been cooperative so i'll try to blog it later.
Now Mekhi was pretty darn exhausted after his swimming lesson so he literally passed out on the table by the pool.

Two Months Old!

Well as of yesterday Mekhi is two months old. And wow, I was just thinking of the major accomplishments he's had in 1 months, I swear to god he'll be moving out pretty soon haha just kidding. No but really it has been an eventful month as you all know because (time to pat myself on the back) i've been so good at blogging lately! So...upon celebrating being two months old Mekhi had a few faces he would like to show everyone. ..

The Plan

Well I have been asked many times by many people what the plan is for the future of Megan, Kellon and Mekhi. I realized that maybe I don't communicate all that much (haha), and usually just go off and do things without telling people. So I decided that I may as well put the plan out there! Hopefully this doesn't jinx it hee hee.
So Kellon is finishing a 8 month contract onboard the Coral Princess. While he's doing that me and Mekhi are living with my Dad and Susan (rent is just to darn expensive in Kenora and no one will rent out an apartment for 6 months). As I am not working right now Kellon is supporting us 100% financially. Basically he puts half of each pay aside and that is for me and Mekhi. Then he sends it to me. Now I've been using what I need and putting the rest aside into savings accounts for our move to Grenada. I have to say, Kellon is the most amazing man i've ever known. He's busting his ass, doing a job that he absolutely hates so that he can not only support me and Mekhi, but save money to get us a home in Grenada when he gets off the ship. And it breaks his heart that he is missing so many of Mekhi's "firsts" but he knows that as of December, it will all be worth it.
Oh yeah so Kellon gets off the ship in December and the plan is that me and Mekhi wil move to Grenada before Christmas. Now as a Canadian Citizen, me and Mekhi can only stay in Grenada for 3 months, so as soon as we get there I am going to apply for extensions on that stay for both of us, and may be getting dual citizenship for Mekhi (he will then be both Canadian/Grenadian). As long as the extension comes through, then we stay, if it doesn't well then we have to leave the country. But can return again within the month. So we'll just see how that goes. I have spoken to the Grenadian Embassy in Toronto and they told me I cannot apply for an extension until I get there, so we wait.
Anyways Kellon is hoping to get in with a hotel he has already worked for, we're hoping I won't have to work for a while so I can take care of Mekhi, but if I have to then I will no problem, there are plenty of older ladies that take in children (usually only 2) as day care. And seeing as its a small Island, Kellon knows them and we'll feel comfortable with them. After all, they will probably teach me a lot about raising a baby on the Island.
I hope this answers any questions that my loved ones may have regarding future plans for my family. I wish that you all knew Kellon, because he is a wonderful man, totally supportive and will do whatever it takes to take care of me and Mekhi, he has proven that already. Moving to Grenada may seem scary or risky to some, but it is an amazing country, beautiful with great potential and Mekhi will gain so much by his experience being raised there for however long we stay. Anyways...long blog with no pics, sorry, but thats the plan :)

Swimming at the Beach and Tummy Time

Well I decided that it was time to bring Mekhi to a local beach and put him in the water. I will admit, it was darn cold so it was a quick in and out so we don't have any pictures of him in the water but I do have a picture of him out of the water ever so serious (Thank you Devon for the crocodile towel, he loves it, very warm).

Now we've also been having "tummy time" and Mekhi didn't really enjoy it at first but he's getting the hang of it, very strong arms on this boy and his feet are totally ready, he pushes out with them as though he's gonna go somewhere haha. Too cute though.

Mekhi and Ireland's Sleepover

Well yesterday was Steph and Matt's anniversary so myself and Brandee (my ever so willing friend) decided that we would supervise Mekhi and Ireland's first sleepover. Lots of fun was had, the kids giggled and smiled all night long, until the wee hours and then decided that 5am was a good time to begin again. Here are a few pics and a priceless video of Ireland making Mekhi stronger. Seems she believes that because he doesn't have an older brother like Kaden who toughens her up, she will do so for Mekhi. It is hilarious, and never fails, if they are laying together, this will happen.

Finally, A Smile on Camera!

Well Mekhi has been smiling now for a few weeks, however every time the camera comes out he cries. Its been such a tease as I have not been able to send a pic of the smile to Kellon or to anyone, he's making a liar out of me!!!! However..."oh happy day" this morning I WON! I caught him, on camera and all stages of smiles, so here is my proof, Mekhi has one beautiful smile!

And here is the money shot!
