1/2 year birthday with a special visit from Uncle Derek

Can you believe Liam is 6 months old already?! On Friday, Liam officially celebrated being a half year old. He ate rice cereal, hung out with some friends and even got to blow out candles on an ice cream cake. To top off all this excitement Uncle Derek from Edmonton was in town for a visit.



Liam's latest stats:
weight: 19 lbs 9 ozs
height:27 inches

He's actually slowed down a little in growth but in the 80th percentile for both.

Friday night:
- party at Amy's house in White Rock
- shared birthday cake with Auntie Chauntille who was turning 25
- Uncle Derek came to stay for the weekend as he was heading back to Edmonton



Saturday
- shopping in Langley with Auntie Karen, Auntie Chauntille, Auntie Sian, Larissa and her son Max
- very busy day: eating at Olive Garden and shopping, shopping and more shopping but Liam just sat back and enjoyed the day.

Sunday
- Saying good bye to Uncle Derek



Busy weekend and we know next week will be even crazier as we get ready for Grandma and Grandpa Robertson's arrival on Thursday and Cawfu Miles' arrival on Friday. woowwwwooo

Love,

The Robertsons

Victoria here we come...

Another whirlwind adventure for the Robertsons this weekend as we just came back from Victoria. We were there for a Family Medicine Residents conference which was held at the Coast Harbourside Hotel, a great hotel with an awesome indoor/outdoor swimming pool. :)

We left Thursday night with Matt's collegue, Shelter, and spent the night at his family's house in Burnaby. The next morning we headed off to pick up Matt's collegue, Amy, and we were off to the ferry. We arrived on Friday in early afternoon and were throw instantly into a busy day. As Matt attended sessions Liam and I were lucky enough to meet up with my godmother, Rita Robertson, and her daughter, Tracey, and Tracey's 3 year old son, Ethan. Rita is very close friends with my parents as she babysat both Miles and myself when we lived in Kitimat, BC. I don't get to see them very often but the Robertsons mean a great deal to me.

Liam and Ethan hangin' out

That evening we enjoyed a great dinner with our friends Justin and Catherine. They made us gourmet pizzas and treated us to some fantastic red wine. Liam enjoyed their house as well but more so their bed as he snoozed away the evening there.

Most mornings as Matt went to sessions Liam, Karen, Kylie and I spent time in the hotel pool. Liam did a fine job kicking those sumo legs of his and then relaxed in the whirlpool afterwards.

Saturday afternoon Matt and Justin headed out onto the water on Justin's racing boat. Matt said he had a blast cruising around on the ocean. While Liam, Loreal, her son Chase, Catherine and I headed to downtown Victoria to shop and spend the afternoon enjoying the fantastic sunshine.

That evening we went to The Keg for dinner with Catherine, Justin, Matt's collegue Jeremy and his wife Loreal and son Chase. We had a great time eating and chatting!

As usual the weekend went by in a flash but we had a chance to see friends that we don't get to see very often. Well that's all for now.

Another year older...sigh!

On February 7th, I finally turned 27 years old...sigh. I wasn't sure how I would be feeling about this birthday but I was lucky to have some great friends here out in the 'Wack to celebrate with.
On the Monday evening the girls, Chauntille, Sian and Karen, took me out to Mill Street Cafe for some great food and conversation. Then back to Chauntille's for a birthday favorite...Dairy Queen ice cream cake...mmmmmm.


On the Tuesday night, Matt and I went out to The Keg in Abbotsford for a fantastic steak meal. yum yum. We had an amazing evening out but we did start to miss our little Liam.

Speaking of little Liam he is doing well sitting up more and more each day. He is a great little man.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Love,

The Robertsons

Paul Mick comes to town

This weekend our friend, Paul, came for a visit from Vancouver. Liam was so excited to see Paul Saturday morning realizing there was a new person in our house. They had a great time laughing and smiling at one another and I am pretty sure Liam was working on pronouncing Paul's name.

Another great part to our weekend was Liam's first attempt with rice cereal which occurred Saturday morning. He really took to the rice cereal gobbling a full tablespoon up. No spit up even! You know this kid loves food.

Well this post is going to be short and sweet just to let everyone know we are thinking about them!

Love,

Gung Hay Fat Choy (Happy Chinese New Year!) a few days ago.

So we're a little late on the New Year's greeting but lots of things are going on over here in the 'Wack.

We had a fantastic weekend in Whistler hanging out with Matt's collegues and their families for the annual Residents trip. We want to thank Dr. John Robertson for having all of us at his cabin for the weekend. Matt was pretty excited to ski as Whistler received the most snow in their history this season!

On the way home we went to visit Michael and Teresa and their new son, Matthew. I almost forgot that Liam used to be that tiny and Michael was blown away by how big Liam is now. They are doing well enjoying the life of being new parents and their baby is beautiful. Almost makes me think of having another...but not yet.

We are home for the next few weeks which will be nice as we need to get our house and lives back in order. Our next big trip will be to Victoria in a few weeks for a residents conference, as Matt goes to sessions I get to cruise around Victoria. Yeah!

Until next time...caio!

Love,

The Robertsons
