Yay! Yesterday, our little boy walked! He was having fun practicing standing alone, with both arms in the air (looking like he was about to take off flying), so Sean and I tried walking him between us as we sat across from each other. Suddenly, he can take four or five steps at a time! All…

Baby Bits XXIV – Fifteen Months Old
We celebrated today by finally finding a spot for E’s very own blue glass ball for his room (a gift from Auntie Beth). I wish I could capture in my memory forever the way his smile looks – full of wonder and joy – when he watches it spinning. He also took approximately two steps!…
Baby Bits XX
Here we are at our 20th Baby Bits already! (Hope you don’t mind my use of bullets in practically every post… I love them so.) E is still a Baby – he said so. Daddy asked him this morning, “Who’s a cutie-pie?” and he tapped his own chest and said, “Baby.” (He also apparently knows…
Baby Bits XVIII – Fourteen Months and One Day
It’s time for some Bits. E has a joke. It involves putting random things on his head and saying “Hat.” Lately he’s getting especially silly and putting multiple “hats” on Mama or Daddy at once. Latest example is an aluminum pie plate AND a plastic octopus… what a stylish combo! His vocabulary is growing at…
Thirteen Months Old – 1 year + 1 month (and 1 day)
I know you all can count. I’m just making the transition between referring to my child’s age in months and in years. I always smile to myself when parents refer to their kids’ ages in months when they’re multiple years old – since your average person doesn’t think in those terms. I figure it still…
First Birthday = First Swing Ride
First swing ride – not counting indoor baby swings, of course. In honour of E’s actual birth anniversary, June 8th, we took a trip to the park with a picnic. We had yummy food, and watched bigger kids running around and playing, observed a softball game from afar, and put E in a real swing…
E’s First Haircut(e)
Ha ha, I accidentally typed haircute, and then realized it was apt enough. So yes, we had E’s ears lowered, to borrow a phrase from my high school music teacher, who would make this comment to boys who would come in looking younger and perkier than usual due to reduced cranial shag. E did not…
Recipe: Ricotta Tots
I’m a distributor for the Pampered Chef, as many of you already know. I’m not really supposed to talk about it online, because of publicity regulations, but I recently stumbled upon the blog of a Consultant who links from her blog to her personal Pampered Chef website (BIG no-no!). So until they clamp down on…
In Honour of Mother’s Day
We had a nice Mother’s Day – my first as a full-fledged mother! It included going to Meeting in Hamilton, which I wish I did more often. E joined us for some of that and made cute noises that people enjoyed in the silence. Later on, we gathered with my parents and sisters and friend…
AND First Dunk.
Here’s the other key part: the first two dunks! They say that if you blow in your baby’s face, he’ll hold his breath for dunking. It worked for us. It was darn cute! I was so proud of how E took to this whole pool thing like a PRO. I think it’s because Daddy pours…
