Nouvelle chambre / New Room

Well, LP FINALLY has his room. I think Chris is enjoying it more than he is right now, but we're pretty happy on how it turned out.

The cribb is the one Chris and other members of her family and extended family slept in, and the quilt-blanket was started by Lou, Chris' grandmother, when she was very young, I even think before she was married... anyways, she found it unfinished not too long ago so Chris and Grand-maman Cécile finished the rest of it (it took three generations to finish... so it's gorgeous and pretty special!). The changing table was made by Grand-papa Norm especially for LP. The toy chest was also made by Grand-papa Norm but a few years ago (when he was hinting that he was ready to have a grand child). The art on the walls are by Chris's aunt, Irène Guérette and the aboriginal decorations a bit everywhere are from Grandma Gina. We also have a few old toys in the room, that are both JM's and Chris' when they were kids, and everyone's gifts and souvenirs made it in!

And then there's the popular mobile from the Michaud family: LP LOVES it.

Alright mom... ENOUGH pictures already!

2e prise de vaccins / 2nd Set of Vaccines

Jeudi, Louis-Pascal avait un rendez-vous pour sa deuxième prise de vaccins. Gigi est venue avec Christiane et Louis-Pascal pour un peu de support moral puisque Jean-Michel était au travail. Le pauvre p'tit s'est fait piquer trois fois sur les cuisses, mais c'était pas si pire. Gigi s'est aussi fait enlever ses quatre dents de sagesse la journée d'avant donc elle aussi n'était pas dans le meilleur des états! Mais Louis-Pascal avait de beau sourire pour le docteur et les infirmières. Il pèse maintenant 14 lbs. 10 onzes et est 25 pouces de long. Et comme d'habitude, il se trouve dans le milieu de toutess moyenne: il est dans le 50e pourcentage en poids ainsi qu'en longueure.
On Thursday, LP went in for his 2nd set of vaccines. Gigi came with Chris and LP for some moral support since JM was at work. The poor little thing was poked three times in the legs. It wasn't so bad. Gigi also had her four wisdome teeth pulled out the day before... so she was also in rough shape. But LP had some nice smiles for the doctor and nurses. He now weighs 14lbs and 10 ounzes, and is 25 inches long. As usual, he is in the middle of all averages: he is in the 50th percentile for not only his weight, but his height as well.

Bulles / Bubbles

Chloe et Gabe ont essayé le bain tourbillon dans notre nouvelle maison hier... ils ont eu un bain aux bulles INCROYABLE. Les bulles se multiplient vraiment vite avec les jets tourbillions... J'ai mis un peu trop de savon. Carol et moi on a presque paniqué, mais les enfants ont eu un fun bleu!
Chloe and Gabe tried out the jet tub in our new house yesterday... and had a HUGE bubble bath. You should see the bubbles grow when you turn on the jets!! I put a bit too much soap in, Carol and I almost panicked, but the kids had fun!

Tout est beau, mignon est propre dans cette photo (pas de jets tourbillions encore...).

Everything is nice, cute and clean in this picture (no jets yet...).
On commence à s'exciter... mais pas de jets encore.
Going a bit crazy... but no jets yet.
Holé tabarnouche! Ferme les jets!! Holy CRAP, turn off the jets!!
C'est un VRAI gros bain aux bulles astheure! NOW it's a real bubble bath!
Monstre Bulles à l'attaque! Bubble Monster ready to attack.Louis-Pascal ne s'est pas baigné, mais il s'est fait attaquer de bulles quand même. Et Carol aussi... mais je l'ai laissé aller avec les bulles dans les cheveux un peu plus longtemps avant de lui dire. ;)
LP watched from the sidelines... but he was attacked by the Bubble Monster anyways. So was Carol, but I let her sit there for a while with bubbles in her hair before letting her know.
C'était super le fun la gang DeVink!! Venez nous voir plus souvent, c'est plate durant la journée sans vous autre!
It was fun DeVink gang!! Come by anytime you like, we get bored all alone without you!
