Today E pointed at our shoe horn and said, “Mama.” Auntie Em and I chuckled and said, “Is that your mama?” and handed it to him. He smiled affectionately at the shoe horn and gave it a kiss on its pointy plastic mouth, then carried it with him into the living room. This is it:…

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 XXIII
It’s been a busy couple weeks in Baby Bits Land! Some of you will have read Auntie Em’s Facebook status from yesterday: “Today Evi played with magnets on the fridge while I made lunch. By the time we were ready to eat, he could identify all of them by pointing or speaking: Fish, Butterfly, Alligator…
Baby Bits XXII
E is starting to use words in conjunction with each other, to refine the concepts he can communicate. It’s pretty cool! He started with “chair pop”, when one of the bubbles we blew popped against the lawn chair; then there’s “nose hole”, one of his favourite things on himself or anyone; and the other day…
Baby Bits XXI
Here are a couple of clips. They demonstrate the love of BOOM. Check them out and see whom YOU think is the Boom King. This one works best when there are pillows or even a drum to boom on… but in a pinch, just use whatever’s handy.
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 XIX
Here are some more Baby Bits, for E’s beloved Papa (my dad, his grandpa – Papa is what we call him and E has now latched onto the term)… because there are always more! I just don’t want to bore you with every little time he says something cute… plus there are too many to…
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…
Family Camp 2010 at NeeKauNis – Some Favourite Moments
Well, I truly did try on Day One of Family Camp to send out a photo, and couldn’t figure it out from my iPhone. There’s probably a way, but at the time I was cooking for 35 people and single-parenting (lots of help on both counts, but still) so I didn’t pursue it. There are…
Addendum to Hypes
Oops, I meant to include this lovely blog in my Hypes yesterday. Sean found it and sent it to me, and it made me smile on an evening I wasn’t expecting to have any more smiles. Mila’s Daydreams: it’s Anne Geddes meets Art Attack. Try it y’self!
