First Doc Appointment

Today was Bingo’s first appointment.
For now, Ludmila is our doctor, and she did a great job today! Of course, Bingo is still only 16 to 17 weeks old, so he’s got a lot of growing to do (does the phrase, “skin and bones” mean anything to you?). But we saw Bingo’s heart beating away, 135 bpm, strong, steady and very much alive! YAY! Still no conclusive evidence of gender, but not to worry, we’ll know soon enough… Speaking of, Bingo’s due date is also inconclusive, but anywhere between April 25 and May 10 we should have one more incredible experience in a hospital room (it better be in an hospital room!). Can’t wait to meet you Bingo! (By the way, don’t worry if you can’t tell what is baby on the image … I can barely tell either!)

All by myself

Of course kids grow up. We know that.
Today Ben wanted to help Cassie do up her snowpants (there isn’t any snow here yet, but she is so excited for it that she wears them around the house), but of course ‘It’s okay Daddy, I can do it.’ Other feats this past month included getting herself up on the toilet (now she doesn’t need us for that at all), climbing UP a slide, jumping off the last few steps (of course with mom’s reminder, ‘careful!’) and getting very far in her reading skills! Pretending to play Doctor and Hide and Seek are her favorite games right now. She is also getting better at colouring and focusing on one game for a longer period of time. What a big girl she is getting to be!
