This Morning deklen pulled himself up to the coffee table to stand all by himself for about 5 seconds. And yes it was to reach the remote for the t.v.

Now that deklen is crawling, he is getting under the coffee table and trying to get the remotes. For now they are still safe.

Today already a new game. FINALLY Oskar has someone to Bug / play with. So he is giving deklen the toy now in his lap or just keeping it out of his reach, and when he gets too close he takes it away. I can see these two will get along just fine by entertaining eachother.

Deklen Crawled today!!! Trevor and i were talking at the island in our kitchen and he was looking toward the tv and said ummm, deklen is crawling, and i turned to yes see him moving his legs. And i managed to get it on video - this is only the second time he crawled, and he seems to have it all figured out already. Oh my boy is growing up so fast. And yes what he wanted was the dogs squeeky toy. Ugh.

Today dad and i got the little dirt bike running just for fun. I would like to not just learn how to ride one but to ride one well. So this is the learner. Dad had fun taking it for a bit of a ride. By the smile on his face looks like he had fun.

Well Our poor boy Oskar. Trevor took him to the emergency Vet downtown Calgary on monday morning at one am. He was sick from eating some piece of cloth (we thought a dishtowel) And usually he pukes it up no problem within one week. Well, not this time. He was trying to throw up on sunday evening, and then late sunday night. Then he started to cry and whimper when heaving around 12:00 that night. And off trevor took him. So four sets of x-rays showed something stuck in the bottom of his stomach unable to pass into his intestines. And he had surgery on Monday around 6:00 pm. They basically took out his stomach and all intestines and looked at them all, cut his stomach open and took out the material. And it was baby socks. Ok. Excuse me but my son is no longer going to wear socks. you know how washing machines eat regular socks - well i have that same problem with baby socks also and a dog that wants to eat them. So out they go! Nothing but sleepers and pants with feet. Oskar Has insurance to help with the cost of our vet bill. A grand total of $3942.64 YES it's that much. So we get 80% coverage which helps A LOT. Now you can see why no more babysocks in the house? Can't be doing that anymore. Poor Oskar feels pretty sore and is walking in slow motion everywhere as his incision is five inches long. He also has one stitch in his eyelid as the surgeon also removed a small growth on it (NO CHARGE) At least something was free! His spirits did pick up when he got home as he found his ball and picked it up for us to throw. BUT no running, jumping or horsing around for 2 weeks. - Thats going to be hard. I'll have to hide the ball. And see the cone? He's a pro at that as he has had a lot of experience wearing it. He's a toughie My boy Oskar!

Well i have been really good feeding deklen - i have not spoiled him with any sweet food like fruit. All he has had was bland cereal and peas and squash and such. So today i finally decided to give him a spoon or two of pears. I thought it would be good. Well his reaction was a bit different and it didn't get much better. every bite was like this. Sooo cute.

Our first Halloween. Deklen enjoyed himself and was all bundled up as Eeyore, as it wasn't very warm in Edmonton, but thankfully no snow or freezing rain.
