RIBEIRO

Hello Monday! I couldn't resist posting photos of our "little soprano"! We had a great weekend, getting together for meals with three different sets of friends. We've also been really focusing on Jonas's bedtime routine and it's still going very well! He averages 7-8 hours of sleep, eats and then sleeps 2-3 more hours before he's up for the day. It's really nice to be able to understand his cycle/daily routine. At this very moment we're waiting for news of a birth for our great friends Nuno and Cara...we can't wait to meet the new baby!

Hello! Mommy and Daddy took me on quite an adventure this week, my first Vancouver Canuck's Game!! They told me that this happens once in a while and that I need to get use to it. Well...I promised them I'd be good for one period and then all bets were off. I decided midway through the second period that I was tired of sitting and it was time to go. Mom and Dad were okay, they thought I'd only make it to the end of the second period anyways. I'm letting Mommy and Daddy sleep more as well. They put me to bed around 9pm and I only get up once, around 4:30ish to eat and then I sleep til about 7am. Everyone is very happy with this new sleep schedule. Mommy's been taking me to a few playgroups during the week. I love getting out of the house! I'm getting soooo big that I'm wearing some 6 month outfits already!

This weekend has been pretty relaxing! We went out for brunch, just the three of us, had a nice dinner with Keith's cousin, took a bath, went to Church and watched a little football! Jonas seems to enjoy watching football a s this last picture shows him staring intently! You can catch his eyes darting back and forth as they chase the ball. We might have a future CFL player on our hands! He definitely has the large size hands and feet for the job. This last week he has decided to go against my wishes and started to suck his hand/thumb! I quickly reintroduced the soother and he seems to take it, although the thumb is the next best thing when he loses his soother. I've tried to explain this problem to him and he seems to take it in with a loud smack of his lips connecting with his thumb! We may need to start saving for orthodontics! I can see it now! A big milestone this week was moving him from the bassinett in our room, into his crib in his own room. He's done very w

Hi Everyone! I'm 9 weeks old this week or 2 months old, yeh! I've had a very busy week full of visits, shopping and my 2 month immunizations, which I DID NOT like very much! I had 2 needles in each thigh and I cried alot! Ouch! I've been growing alot, I'm 60cm tall and weigh 13lbs! Some of the things I love to do include bath time, going for walks in the stroller, listening to Daddy sing to me and sleeping on Mommy's chest. It's been so nice here in the evenings that Mommy, Daddy and I try to go for walks in the evenings is I'm up for it! Lately I've been a bit of a bear from 8-10pm! ROAR!!

I can see where toy stores can easily make alot of money! We finally realized that we need some more larger objects for Jonas and we bought a bouncy chair. Jonas loves to constantly move and be stimulated and there is a point in the day where I need 2 hands to do things around the house. The bouncy chair worked like magic today! Great invention! We have also joined he world of SKYPE recently and love to be in video/phone contact with family. Especially now that we can show of Jonas' latest tricks, etc. If any of you, our family and friends are connected with Skype, let us know, we'd love to be able to connect with you as well! As you've read in my last post, I love the Fall and it's starting to look like a great one. We've already had the RIBEIRO HOTEL booked for a weekend or two for Sept, Oct. Nov and Dec! One of the advantages of living in the Lower Mainland is that you're guaranteed to have people stopping in on the way in or out of Vancouver. Here

We had an eventful but relaxing long weekend. On Friday night we attended Keith's cousins wedding down in Gastown. It was a very nice celebration...congrats Melissa and Matt! Many of Keith's family were able to meet Jonas for the first time. He loved all the snuggles and kisses so much that we met the family...all 19 of us...out for brunch on the Sunday. It was scrumptious! Jonas had a Dr's appt today and he's now 12lbs 5 oz and is 59cm! Those are good numbers, so we're happy. I love September, we've been trying to take advantage of our nice evening weather with lot's of walks. Jonas is happiest when he is on the move, he's not one to just sit around! September has also brought back school for Keith, who is taking classes again 2 days a week. Busy, busy, busy!
