We spent three days in Fenelon Falls last weekend with Christopher’s family doing not much else but chatting, eating great food and watching movies. After all my moaning about what a handful he has been lately, Simon decided to get back at me by being a complete delight all weekend. I’m sure everyone now thinks […]
My workout videos are gathering dust, so Simon decided to encourage me to get off my butt by doing some Pilates moves (with perfect form no less). You can bounce a quarter off his abs.
Simon loves being held high in the air, but as you can see we become drool targets when we play this […]
In the first weeks of Simon’s life I wrote a post describing how he had his father’s calm and peaceful disposition. It has become apparent that this ruse was all part of his sinister plan to make us fall in love with him so we wouldn’t take him back to the hospital’s Returns and Exchanges […]
I just checked and it’s been two weeks since my last post. Yikes! One day is pretty much like the last in babyville so it’s easy to lose track of time. It’s amazing how a week can fly by despite the moments when time seems to stop, specifically the screaming and whining moments.Â

Simon discovered his twig and berries in the bath a few nights ago and now anytime he’s naked he likes to reach down and squish his poor little testicles. Topher thinks he’s a masochist.
Despite the cold temperatures, Topher and I are taking Simon for walks at least every other day. The snow makes it hard […]
This Monday we visited Hawksley, Laura and Cameron again. My mom came too and she made us a fabulous lunch. Hawksley is changing fast but remains super cute. When I look at Simon it’s hard to believe he was ever Hawksley’s size, but in this picture Hawksley is wearing one of his old sleepers so […]
When we met our new nephew Hawksley, we were surprised by how small he seemed - especially considering he was born almost a pound heavier than Simon’s birth weight. It’s amazing how quickly they change and how easy it is to forget. I made this video clip as a reminder and so we could look […]
What a week! Christopher’s sister Laura finally gave birth to her own (very) big little man on Thursday, February 1. Laura and Cameron are the proud parents of Hawksley Lauchlin Shaver, weighing in at an astonishing 10 lbs 10 oz! Way to go Laura!
And only two days later, our friends Glenn and Carolyn […]
Simon’s strength has been steadily increasing so we decided it was time he do some jumping. This video shows his first time in a Jolly Jumper. He might need a little more practice to get the hang of it, but he puts on a good marionette show regardless!

Simon and I went to an intro session for signing with your baby today. The idea is that you can teach your baby sign language so he can communicate with you even if he can’t speak yet. The instructor showed a video of kids signing things like more, eat, play and milk. To make the […]
