TIME FLIES WITH DIAPER CHANGES

ThIt hard to  believe that I've already been here a whole week. I'm busy with sharing time between James and baby brother and time goes fast. I've managed to take a lot of photos and I have to share some here.


 James love to have books read to him.



I've noticed that James like to invent ways to play with his favorite toys.  He carried his stuffed puppies in this wagon around and dumped them and placed the wagon on his head and ran around the kitchen with this funny hat.


Sunday we visited the Museum of Science in Ottawa and James knows the place and knows how to get the door to open.


He wants to listen to the voice on the phone.


He love to look at the first Bombardier snowmobile


This rotating display drum of the construction of a canoe just fascinated him and he kept turning it.


There were three big train engines in the museum and james love the trains.


He loves to look in the fire chamber. There's a red light but it doesn't shows up in the picture.


James is also fascinated by big wheels and was showing me.


In the play room he loved to demolish any structures made out of light weight boxes. He just plowed through it.


He loves pushing a button that makes the train model run.


The distorting mirrors were also a big attraction.


There were many models of cars on display but this one was hands on so he wanted to climb onboard.


Wheels and levers, what fun...


He could have played for hours going through these dimly lit tunnels.  The flash on my camera really lit it up. Here we were on our way out of the tunnels and down the stairs so daddy is carrying him.


Today was baby brother first visit to the doctor office for first checkup and i carried the heavy cargo.



Sorry Christine, I cut off the top of your head. Not one of my beat shot...


Waiting to see the doctor seems not to be bothering this little guy.


The scale says 7 lbs 12 oz. He has gained back 4 ounces since he was discharged from the hospital and eats a lot and often so in no time he will have gained all that weight back.

Uncle Al came to bring a gift for little brother but also brought a nice Thomas train set for James which was a big hit.



Playtime in James tent and he was having a lot of fun with me. James wanted me to pretend I was sleeping and snoring and then he would say Wake up, wake up. He has learned to sing all the verses to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

I have tons of other  photos but too many to share. This Nanny is very tired and is heading to bed. My photos took so long to upload and robbed me of some of my blogging time. I'll try to visit your blogs whenever I can find some spare time.
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments.

  11. Good morning Julia, How wonderful for you to spend time with those two precious grandsons. I am sure your daughter and son in law are most grateful for an extra set of hands. James appears to be adapting to his new role of big brother, change takes time. So happy you had time to update us! Does that handsome new grandson of your's have a name? Don't overdue, the cows are waiting for you! LOL Thinking of you, Julie.

  12. How lucky you are to have two grandsons and to be able to spend time with them. Seeing all the trains made me wish my "little" boy was little again. He was so much fun at that age. Now he is over 6', has a beard and tattoos on his arms, but when I look into his dark eyes I still see the twinkle of that little boy!
    Take care and have fun!
