Pink Cheeks
Saturday, January 13th, 2007

Topher and I have been taking Simon out for hikes in his stroller since we’re having one of the mildest winters on record. He seems to enjoy them, especially now that he’s more upright and can look around. I think the fresh air is good for him and it gives him adorable pink […]

Monkey man
Friday, January 5th, 2007

Simon’s first Christmas was wonderful.  We went to London first for four days, then back to Milton for Boxing Day with Christopher’s moms side of the family, and then headed up to Fenelon Falls for three days.  The grandparents loved being able to spend so much time with him and Simon had a great time […]

Happy Holidays!
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

As promised, here’s our first family photo.  We’re very happy Simon’s smiling in it.

Simon may be a Christmas cutie, but he’s also ready to rock.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Lots of love from our little family.

Tongue action
Friday, December 15th, 2006

Lately Simon has his tongue out contantly. It’s pretty cute but also kind of weird. My brother Neil says he’s the next Gene Simmons.

We had our first family portraits done at The Real Canadian Superstore last weekend. I’ll scan and post one of the pictures soon, but in the meantime here are some photos taken […]

Feeling better
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Simon’s over his cold now.  It ended up getting worse so we took him to emergency a few weeks ago just to make sure it wasn’t something more serious.  The doctor diagnosed him with bronchiolitis and said there was nothing to do but let it run its course.  It was hard to see him so […]

Even babies take bad pictures
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

Everyone knows that for every great picture there are a bunch of really bad ones. Here’s the proof.
His Native American name is No Neck Many Chins

Sunny day = Scrunched face

And the worst by far…

Many changes
Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Simon had his last appointment with our primary midwife Katheljine last week. He’s still growing like a weed - almost 15 lbs at two months! Christopher and I were both sad to say goodbye. Our experience with all of our midwives (we had three and one student) was so positive and rewarding. We had fantastic […]

Blatant picture post
Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

Since pictures are what most people want (hi Laura!), here are a few from last week and today.
Nana Lisa and Simon (in his carrier) out for a walk in London’s Springbank park.

Last Wednesday I got together with the other moms from our prenatal class so we could meet each other’s babies and chat. Starting […]

Halloween
Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

We didn’t take Simon out trick or treating since he is only a month old but we still wanted to dress him up for his first Halloween. The plan was to put him in his bunny costume and show him off while we handed out candy but he spent the whole time either asleep or […]

Simon’s baby shower
Friday, October 27th, 2006

Simon met some of the ladies in my life at his baby shower last weekend. Everyone was so generous - I could barely fit all the clothes, toys, books and blankets in my car. Simon was a great baby and didn’t seem to mind being passed around like a hot potato.
Huge thanks to […]
