It was actually Friday that my baby boy turned sixteen months old… and he’s getting less like a baby every day. Sorry for the wait – I know it’s been a long time since the last Toddler Tracks. It’s been a busy weekend, including the lovely wedding of my sister-in-law, coinciding with our first true…

Footage Sampler
Here you go. It’s a bit on the long side, but there are several activities included: phoning, singing, boofing, sock-stretching, and a wee bit o’ walking. Just day-in-the-life stuff. Hope you enjoy!
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 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.
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…
Dilovely’s Top 10 Pick-Me-Ups
The other day, I was in a funk. I’d had some news from my school board that made me feel frustrated and undervalued, and once I felt like that, every other little thing made me feel worse. E was in a cranky mood and doing his whiny cry for no reason all the time, and…
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…
The Tough Get Going – don’t they?
So there I was, thinking and blogging about being overwhelmed, and then my hubby had a cycling accident. Right on Father’s Day! Nothin’ like it to both worsen and improve my state of mind (and overwhelmedness). There was a chain mishap, and now he’s got a broken left wrist that will have to have a…
Happy Father’s Day to my Favourite Fathers!
To my dad, and the darling dad of my son… …thanks for being wonderful fathers. (The kind with a great sense of humour – and a distinct lack of megalomania.)
