Our last day for 2009
What a great year this has been! We got you! you have been nothing but a joy for us. You make us smile and laugh so much. It is wonderful to see how far you have come in 7 months. You are now standing up and clapping your hands without falling at 15 months, so I am sure you will be walking in no time, you said your first word a few days ago and that was "papa" you say it so softly it is just adorable, but everything you do is adorable.
I can't wait to see what 2010 has to bring us, but I am sure it will lots of new adventure for all three of us and I can't wait.
I love you so much Alexandre

Your first Christmas at home Alexandre!
What a few busy days this has been! On the 24th, Christmas Eve, we had your Mamie Nicole, Aunt Nathalie, Uncle Pat, your cousins; Julian, Paolo and we also had Jaqueline, Richard and Katherine with us. It was so much fun! we opened all the gift that they got for you, boy you got spoiled, you received a nice giraffe pillow that you love to snuggle on the couch with now, you got some nice Tommy Hilfiger clothes, and nice Winnie the Pooh truck that lights up and you can sit on and drive by pushing your legs forward and much more. You had no clue what was happening but for me, it was just amazing watching you.
The next day, Christmas morning, we opened our gifts as a family and it was so special, your father made me cry as he gave me the most beautiful card from you. It was so special as he gave you a pen for you to sign the card, you just scribble all over the place, it was perfect! Your father and I gave you a nice "electronic" aquarium that you just loved to watch, a elephant toy, and other little goodies, but no gifts or money can put the joy that you have given me in my heart. I don't like to admit this but now that you are 15 months old, you are not my baby anymore but my little man. I love you so much Alexandre.

Your first Christmas at Uncle Luc's house!
Boy did we have fun, as soon as we arrived all your cousins wanted to hold you and play with you. Once I took off your winter coat so you can play with them, you were just smiling from ear to ear. I honestly have to say that you are loved very much by your cousins as much as you love them.
Aunt Sandra was so happy too see you too! You jumped in her arms as soon as you saw her. She is a good aunt that is for sure! Aunt Nathalie, Uncle Pat, Paolo, Julian and Stefanie arrived later on that day and once again, you were so happy to see all of them. Mamie was also there and she had you in her arms 75% of the time - lol - you just love her. Grand-papa Guy was there too, you gave him a big smile that just melted his heart.
Once it was time to give out the gifts, you were so sweet, we sat you down on your chair and you were just sitting there playing with a musical tree waiting and watching everything that was going around you. You never cried or wanted to leave your chair, you were just so content. But once you saw the nice cars that you got from Santa, you wanted to play with them right away and you did. By 7:45 you were getting tired so we put you in a stroller and just walked around inside the house and withing 10 minutes, you were sound asleep. You only woke up once then withing seconds you were sleeping again. We got home at 10:30 and in bed you went without a fuss. What a great little man you are Alexandre and to top it all off, you slept till 7:30am the next day, now that was a nice gift you gave mommy and daddy
Now we have 2 more Christmas events left, one at home on the 24th with family and friends and the other will be of course the 25th, we will also be going to see your Grand-maman Fernande and Grand-papa René, it will be another fun day for all of us!
Love you my little man!

Our first family vacation in Cuba....
What a great week we had! We all went to Bluebay in Cayo Coco (Cuba). We had a beautiful suite that was right next to the beach and a perfect location for peace and quiet during the evening. And I have to admit that you were such the "attraction" everyone loved your smile and the way you just pointed at everything and would just say; uh!
We mainly stayed by the pool as there was one area that was perfect for you, you would just sit in 1/2 of inch of water and just splash, smile and laugh away, as everyone was looking at you, they were just saying; what a joy he is to watch! always smiling and just having fun in the water.
We did go to the beach a few times, but I wanted to make sure you did not have to much sun as even though we had wind, it was still hot, but you did enjoy sitting on the beach and watching those little waives hit you. We would also pick you up so you can see all the fish that was swimming near by and yes once again you would point your little finger and say: uh! LOL. There was not one day that you did not make us laugh. Alexandre you are such a joy!
Now for the plane ride, going there, you slept for close to 1 1/2 hours and did not make a sound when you were awake, it was wonderful. Coming back, you slept for 1 hour but we made sure that we had all your books and other toys to keep you busy and you were great, even for the landing you did not say boo. You are such a great little traveler. I can't wait for our next trip!
Love you

Your 1st B-day party...
Today was a fun day, you spent the part of the day playing with your cousin; Victoria, Marc, Mathew and Isabelle at your uncle Luc's and aunt Sandra's house. Then we went to Mamie Nicole house as your aunt Nathalie and uncle Pat were there with your other cousin; Paolo and Julian. I have to admit everyone loved playing with you. As you give them smiles all the time.
After that we went to our neighbor's house Grumps and aunt Charchar for her daughters Raeya's 9th B-day. It was so much fun as you had 5 young women all around you. You were the center of attraction. And for the first time you had some chips and of course you loved it. You just love to eat... lol. Once the party was over you left with balloons and even a loot bag. It was your first Birthday Party and it was great!

OK, where is the pause button as you are getting to big to fast! I truly believe that you have grown a few inches since your birthday party. You are getting so tall it is unbelievable, I have to admit that I love watching you grow. You are starting to understands so many things and you are starting to say a few words. As per example cheese in French is fromage so you keep saying age and when your father gets home, you want to say papa but it comes out baba, but not the same pronunciation as your bottle "BABA". Mama is slowly coming out too. You are such a joy Alexandre and everyone just loves being with you as you make everyone feel so special.

Your Birthday Party!!
What a day it was! We couldn't of asked for a better day. Some of us were afraid that the weather was going to be cold and rainy but I knew better, as I asked Chester to bring us a nice warm sunny day, and he did... boy I just love my Chester, I wish you would have meet him Alexandre as you would have just loved him...
Now about your big day. Would you believe that 68 people came to wish you a happy birthday, yup 68 people and that is not including the ones that sent you emails and called you!
What your father and I did is that we rented a hall and decorated it with blue and yellow ribbons and about 50 blue and yellow balloons for the floor and 50 helium as well, so you did not miss any balloons whats so ever. Then we rented a clown/magician. He was great, he made everyone laugh even the grown ups and he made all the children participate in his act. He even had 3 doves and a rabbit, he was great. And once he was finished he made everyone balloons for them to bring home. His name as Joey the Magician, so we will need to hire him again for when you will be 5 years old. We also rented a big blow up bouncy game, it was about 16 feet long and 17 feet high. You just loved it and so did all your guess.
Your uncle Brian and Aunt France took care of cooking everything and preparing everything in the kitchen. There is one thing we did not have to worry about and that was the food. We had: boeuf bourgignong, rice, pasta, tomato sauce, ratatouille, hot dogs, hamburgers, corn on the cob, chicken wings, chips, chicken nuggets and much more, so everyone was full once they left the party.
Now lets talk about the gifts... you got spoiled once again. You received so many great gifts, like your rocking giraffe and your truck that will teach you how to walk real fast, your farm animal magnets, your DVDs of Baby Einstein, your Little People toys, your Tunka soft truck, I can go on and on but I won't as there is way to many to mention. But there is one that I have to say is very special. It is your Grand-papa Guys drinking cup. He had it when he was 3 years old and it got pass on to you. It is pure silver and now has your name on it and I hope that you will pass it on to your children as it is such a beautiful air loom.
Now, I have to face the fact that you are getting to be a big boy. You stand up so fast by your self and I can see in your eyes that you are determine to walk soon and you are so good at going up the stairs now by yourself, it is just amazing how a fast learner you are and how iger you want to learn more. You are just wonderful Alexandre. There is not one day you don't but a smile on my face as I love you so much. You have now completed me.

Today we discovered a new place for us to go to; it is called Fundomondo and you get to play inside, so if it rains, we will just go there. I have to admit, I really like the place, it has toys and activities for all ages and you can't get hurt! you played none stop for 1 1/2 hours, I am sure you would have continued but we had to go back home for your nap. I am looking forward of going there again with you next week!

You are growing up so fast!!
Now that the pool is close, we go to the park each morning and meet other parents with there children, it is so much fun to see, as they come over and share there toys with you since you are still the smallest there. It is so much fun just watching you as you are discovering so many things each day. You love playing in the sand with a shovel and you love just crawling around so fast to discover other objects around you. My favorite part is when we arrive, I always put you on the swing to have some one on one time with you before I share you with everyone else ;o)
There are more thing that you have started to do for the past few days; you play pick-a-boo by yourself, you get up so fast from your crawling position and you stand up so proud and you are slowly moving side by side on the coffee table. As long as you are holding on, you are fine!
Let's talk about food... hahaha, it seems to be your favorite subject. You now eat what ever we are eating and you get mad when we don't share with you, you are too funny! We started you on regular milk twice a day but still give you formula, I just want to make sure you get all your vitamines ;o)
Now, Daddy and Mommy are organising your 1st B-day party, oh boy.... it seems that there will be a lot of people. We have a few surprise for everyone one, we hired a clown and rented a big blow up game that all the kids can play in. Now I am hoping to have nice weather, so I have been asking Chester to help me on that one.
Love you Alexandre!

A family Day...
Your father took the day off work today to be with us. They were announcing nice weather so we decided to go to Oka Beach. It was a nice day when we got there so we played in the sand with you, then we went for a bit to eat at the restaurant. Once we were finished, we went back to the beach and put on your bathing suit and you were out of control... you wanted so much to be in the water. Your arms were just flapping away and you had a big smile on your face. You were so adorable. Once you were in the water, you were just sitting there looking at the small waives coming in, next thing we knew, you were crawling to them and you were getting deeper deeper and you had your mouth wide open and you were just smiling away. You have no fear Alexandre, not yet anyway.... you are too funny!
Once we got home we had dinner but for some reason, you seem to always want our food, so your dad had some pasta put aside for you and for the first time, as you were standing up and holding to the table, you were actually walking side to side. You were not letting go until you got the pasta, and you did! you are so determined, it is great to see! I have a feeling that you will be walking in no time. But I am in no rush just yet, as I don't want you to grow to fast. ;o)

Boy oh boy, where is the time going? ;o)
We are in August already and you have changed so much... you are now determine to stand up, you are developing your our little character which is adorable and the faces you make, just makes us laugh so much. Alexandre, you are such a joy!
Would you believe that after being here for only 3 months, we had our first family vacation. We went to Old Orchard Beach, it was so much fun. Mamie came with us and you just loved it as she slept with you every night and let me tell you, she was in heaven, she would just watch you sleep as you are such an angel.
Even though the water was cold at the ocean, that did not stop you, you were in your glories, you loved the waves and playing in the sand. We even brought you from home a small pool for you to play in at the beach and you loved it! Also before I forget, you were such a great traveller, Mamie played with you a lot in the car and she feed you and you were soooo good! Also, I have to admit that you started to like our food that week, you had pancakes, bagels, ham, potatoes and even garlic pasta. I think you just like food period LOL.
I believe you were happy to get back home to your own things as you smiled so much when we opened the front door and you saw all your toys waiting for you, what a smile! that is when I realized that you had 2 more teeth on top, so now you have 6 teeth. Not bad for a 10 month old ;o)
I just adore you!

What a great week we are having!!
Monday July 20th, you and I went to the water slides in St-Sauveur, it was so much fun, Chantal and Lucie were there and Lucie had her twin girls, it was so much fun seeing you enjoy yourself in the pool and on the lazy river. At the end of the day, you were falling asleep in the pool, so I figured it was time to leave ;o) - We went to visit your grand-papa Guy, we had dinner with him then you had your first bath there, you did not mind at all, you were such a big boy ;o)
Wednesday, July 22nd, we went to visit your aunt Nathalie for lunch, it was so much fun, as everyone just loved you!, then we went to Mamie's house for dinner so it was another busy day for us.
So today, being Thursday, we took it easy, you had your last swimming lesson and you pass with flying colours! Your swimming teacher even wrote that she was very impressed for such a little guy how well you did and wants you to continue your swimming lessons, as we will for sure! Mamie was also there to see you get your first report card. We were all proud of you! and for the rest of the day, we just relaxed in the water!
You are so much fun Alexandre and you give me so much pleasure! I love you to pieces!

So today, being Thursday, we took it easy, you had your last swimming lesson and you pass with flying colours! Your swimming teacher even wrote that she was very impressed for such a little guy how well you did and wants you to continue your swimming lessons, as we will for sure! Mamie was also there to see you get your first report card. We were all proud of you! and for the rest of the day, we just relaxed in the water!
You are so much fun Alexandre and you give me so much pleasure! I love you to pieces!

We had a great day Sunday July 5th for your baptism....
The weather has been so bad lately, rain, rain and more rain, but for some reason, on your baptism day, the sun was out. I am sure it was Chester who brought you the sunshine, as he is always watching over you, that I am sure!
We had a beautiful ceremony at St-Luke's church, then we went to your grand-mother Nicole for the small reception. Everyone was there, all you aunt and uncles and even Mark and Cindy were there too to celebrate your day. It was great! You received such beautiful gifts, you got spoiled once again, even Chester made you a gift, he did it when he was with us, it is a beautiful bear made out of wood, I will hang it on your wall in your bedroom so you can see it each day.
I also have to add that you are eager to walk, you like when we pick you up from the floor and you put both your feet on the ground, it won't be long that you will be walking all the time! Maybe on your birthday? September 26th.... hhmm ;o)

After lunch was fun too, we went to the pool here at Woodlands, first there was not a lot of people, next thing we knew, it was tones of people and you were the start. Your father and I bought a floatable device for you to sit in and you just love it and all the kids were around you and making you smile. It was fun to see. And you swam too! once I took you out of your floatable device, I held you tight and you were just kicking away! You made everyone laugh!
We stayed at the pool from 1:00pm till 4:30pm, you even had a nap at the pool too! you were sitting in your stroller in he shade and once you were finished your milk, you were sound asleep. What a day we had! I love it.. and there will be more days like these I am sure!

We had a busy few days!!
Sunday June 13th we celebrated your mamie Nicole B-day, she turn 70 years old on May 21 but since we were in Vietnam Mamie really wanted to wait till you got home to celebrate it with her. We had lots of fun, you were so good, mind you, you are always good, you were just smiling with everyone and some guess did hold you and you did not mind at all, you just smiled and laughed. They all thought you were amazing... Once the guess all left, you went swimming in uncle Luc's and aunt Sandra's poll. Your dad brought you in and let me tell you, all your cousins had a blast with you. You were splashing away, laughing so loud. It was just great to see!
Today being June 16th, we left for the day, you and I went to visit your grand-papa Guy, he lives up north, it took us 35 minutes to get there, it was great. He had so much fun with you, he was singing to you, holding you a lot, you can tell he was happy we went for a visit. Our next visit with him will be at a water park near by, it is made especially for children your age, so that will be fun! I can't wait to go with you!
Tonight your father and I brought you to the park and put you on a baby swing, oh my goodness, you were laughing so loud and having fun! We have to do this more often! it was great.
And the week just began - LOL -
Love you Alexandre!

We are having so much fun with you!!
We are now learning how to clap your hands together, and you find it so funny, you keep laughing each time we do it and when I take your hands to show you, your legs are kicking and you give us such a happy smile, it is just amazing. What a joy you are!
You now have 2 bottom teeth, there are not out 100% but I have a feeling in no time they will be out. Then it will be the top teeth, but don't worry, I have so many teething rings and frozen face clothes, you will be just fine ( I hope ) ;o)
I also brought you to mommy's work, Future Electronics this week and boy did they love you! everything thought you were so adorable, and I have to agree with them. As we eat lunch at the office and for the first time, you had carrots, you seemed to like them very much. So each day, you will have a different orange vegetable, tomorrow it will be butternut squash - yummy!!
Love you my little man!

Hi
Well, I just wanted to let you know that you are doing well, we are slowly getting a routine, I am starting to know when your "nap times" are. I have to admit that sometimes you fight it, but the moment I rub your back and tell you how much I love you, you slowly fall asleep.
Mamie Nicole comes almost everyday, she is great, she is helping me a lot. I am happy she lives 3 minutes away. I can also tell that you like it when she comes as you always have a big smile for her.
Today, I will be going to the Dollard Civic Center, as I want you to take swimming lessons, that will be fun!

We are doing well. You were a bit agitated yesterday, but it is normal, you were having little panic attacks that is for sure. When I feed you, you are so happy, especially when you see your bottle or your cereal, but I need to feed you fast as you panics, I guess you are scared that I will take your food away, but I promise you I won't ;o) - we have a whole life time together!
It is hot and muggy here, but really, we are doing fine. We have a small routine in the morning and if we stick to it, it will help us during the day. Alexandre, you are just a happy child and loves to be in our arms.
By the way, you wears size 9 /12 months so I am glad with what I brought, as I had the right size for you!

The Ceremony was fast and great, but Alexandre, for me the ceremony was just to sign documents, I felt that I was your mom the moment I picked you up at the orphanage.
You are doing great by the way, it is just real hard to keep a shedual right now as we have not stopped... It is just wonderful!
Alexandre, you were never alone when we went to pick you up as there were 4 families adopting at the same time, so we are all helping each other out. It is great. Katherine is the oldest she is 2 years old and is very scared, but she is coming around and it is great to see, then you have Tia, she is close to 2 but is a little handicap, not to sure if she will walk 100% but she is an angel, she doesn't smile just yet but we are working on it. Her father Claude is going great as he came alone to pick her up as his wife stayed home with there 2 other children. Then you have Sue, single mom, she and I are just having a blast as her daughter is the one that you were posing with on the last set of pictures we received, she is the same age as you and comes from the same orphanage, so it is great that you had a little play mate ;o)
Alexandre you are doing great, you do have a character just like his me! which is funny, you do smile a lot, you are eating very well, you love to take your bath and love the pool too. I have to admit I cry each day for 30 seconds... lol
I am getting a bit home sick and can't wait to leave... I just can't wait for everyone to meet my you as you are my little Man - Nam from Vietnam!!

Hi Alexandre,
We have you now!
Wow, what a feeling...
The "Bus" ride was about 3 hours to go and get you as you were in Vaug Tau and we were staying in HMCM, but let me tell you, once you were in our arms, it was like time was never a factor! You were so happy, you came to us right away, with a big smile as I was crying so much and so was your Dad. On the way back to the hotel, your home for 3 weeks, you slept in my arms to whole time. You were just amazing.
When we got home we did a small treatment for your skin, which did not seem to bother you at all and next thing I knew you feel asleep in his fathers arms, it was so amazing to see.
Your crib was in the master bedroom, next to me, I had your milk ready in case you would wake up. The Nounou gave us your shedual, it looks like you were an easy baby but the Nounou did tell us that you has a character - LOL great just like his me, LOL.
What an emotional day Alexandre.. I was still crying when I went to bed as we are now a family. I just love you

April 18th 2009 - Great news!
Great news, it seems that we are 99% booked to leave May 1st and back home May 20th. A day before Mamie Nicole's B-day. What a gift you will be... The funny part is that we told her on her Birthday 2 years ago that we were adopting you and now, almost to the date, you will be here.
Also, May 20th is when Chester left us, but I always said he was sent to heaven to watch over you and now, a year later, he sent me you.... Love you my little Alexandre Nam xxoo

Dorinda told us that she is hoping that we get a phone call within a few weeks for us to go and pick you up, we can't wait, we are all set and ready to go! ;o) - all your clothes, toys, blankets are all packed. Now we are just missing you... ;o)
