Malaya - 3 Mths old

Hi everyone,



Here are a few pictures of Malaya at 3mths old. She is a very layed back baby, until approx 7pm. Once the bedtime routine is started, she gets that look in her eye. The "I know what time it is...and I don't want to go to sleep" look. She is definitly a night owl like her dad. She doesn't want to miss a thing and likes to be around the action.

Luke is doing great. He often says "Mali is getting big...she can play cars soon?" He loves his little sister and is a great helper around the house.

We are all doing great and miss you all! Looking forward to the holidays!

Malaya 4 Weeks Old

Hi Everyone,



Well Malaya is growing. This is her at 4 weeks old. At 3 weeks she was 10 lbs 6 ozs and was 23 inches long. This little girl loves to be held and falls asleep in your arms, but as soon as you put her down her pretty blue eyes pop open. Malaya does not like car rides (which most babies love), but adores her little brother and his oh so gentle hugs.



Luke is doing well and loves his little sister so much. He is a proud little brother who enjoys showing off his new sister to all of his friends and relatives.



We can't wait for everyone to meet her!!

MALAYA CLARA LOBERG

Malaya Clara Loberg was born on July 17th, 2008 at 10:25am. She weighed in at 8 lbs 11oz and measured 20 inches long. Our midwife Naomi Brooks was incredible. Her coaching and support made for a smooth labour and delivery. We couldn't have asked for anything more....Thank-you Naomi!

Mom, Dad and Big Brother Luke are very happy and can't wait for you all to meet the new edition to our family.

Here are a few pictures. We will be downloading more soon. Stay tuned.

Luke's 1st Birthday

Centre Island

Today we took Luke to Centre Island. He was so excited when we got on the ferry and was even more excited to look through the window at the water and the boats.

It was a beautiful spring day. On the island we took Luke to the petting zoo, let him splash around in the kids water play area, drove a big tractor,and he had a little fish with his dad.

Luke had an awsome time. We hope to go back again this summer.

FIRST DAY AT THE PARK

There is a beautiful park by the Lake just a 5 min walk from our condo. It was Luke's first time at a park and he loved every minute of it.

He also had his first taste of a popsicle. You can see from the picture that it wasn't clear if he liked it or hated it.
We are looking forward to spending the summer outside with Luke for many more new adventures:)

What a Great Week!

Thanks Pat, Jeannette and Layla for coming to visit us in Toronto. We had an amazing week! Luke was so happy to have company and was so excited every morning to wake up to Layla saying "Good morning Luke". The two of them had a great time together. Luke thought Layla was so funny. He loved watching her run around the condo and followed her in his walker every chance he got.



Luke is now 8 and a half months old and is such a good little boy. He enjoys his meals, loves music, and has just started pulling himself up in the crib. We practice walking everyday and he is really doing great. Crawling, on the other hand, Luke is not quite interested in. We think he is definitly going to walk before he crawls. Gramma Sheree says that's exactly what his daddy did when he was Luke's age. Like father like son.

Luke is now 7 months old and weighs 23lbs. He has now mastered the skill of walking in his walker which he absolutely loves. He zips around the house, loving the freedom to move around from room to room on his own. Crawling, on the other hand, is something we're still working on. He's managed to push his chest and little butt up, but not yet at the same time. I think by the end of this month he'll be on his way. Time to baby proof the house! We are all doing really good and looking forward to the warm weather. It's been pretty cold here these past few weeks so we haven't been outdoors much. We are counting the days for when uncle Pat, auntie Jeannette and cousin Layla come to visit. Only 2 more weeks!! Whoohooo! See you all soon.

NEW YEARS EVE!

5,4,3,2,1...Happy New Year!!! Luke was wide awake as we counted down to the New Year. This picture was taken at 12:00am on January 1, 2007 in Beaverlodge, Alberta. Uncle Pat and Auntie Jeannette had a New Years Eve party at their house where we celebrated Luke's first New Years with a house full of family and friends. Grandma Sheree and Grandpa Roger were there by Luke's side when the clock struck 12:00. It was a wonderful 2006 and we are looking forward to a great 2007.
