Aidan's new friend


Daniela's friend Amy came by this week with her little boy Charlie, and they brought Aidan a new friend: a bunny puppet named, well, Bunny. Rabbits (both stuffed and real) were a big part of my childhood, so Bunny is an extra special gift. Aidan seems to like him a lot!

Happy birthday, Grandma!


I guess it will be a few years until we can explain to Aidan what a leap year is, and why once in a while we celebrate Grandma's birthday on a different day. One day, Aidan will think it's pretty cool that he's “older” than Grandma.

Happy birthday, Grandma! Happy birthday, Mom! Lots of love from all of us!

First girl friend

This week Aidan and I had a play date with Lily Shai and her mom Stacey (friends from the YMCA Family and Development Center, more about this on a separate blog post) We had a great time and they seemed to like each other, in their own way... Too cute!

Brave boy!

Last Thursday Aidan had his first official appointment with our family doctor and his first round of vaccinations . Two shots, one on each thigh. He was so brave! I had him on my breast, he screamed for a bit with each shot and then quickly calmed down and resumed feeding. In the afternoon he had a sudden weird crying episode and wouldn’t calm down with anything, but it was very brief. No fever...

Mommy's little bunny

P92

Aidan's bunny bath towel was in rotation this week, and Daniela wanted a picture with her little bunny. All I had at hand was the iPhone, so I snapped this quick shot while I could. I was on my way to grab the "real" camera when I heard a familiar sound. Mommy's little bunny wasn't so cute anymore when we had to give him a second bath! The towel (and Daniela's clothes) went straight into the wash.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We celebrated Valentine's day twice, yesterday prepared by Daddy and today by Mommy. Aidan helped both times to pick cards, chocolates and do groceries. He was also in both dinner parties! He doesn't want to miss any of the Love around...

The towel was a present from Aunt Susan and Uncle Alan. It keeps him warm and it's full of love!

Good morning, world!

Getting Aidan out of bed in the morning is one of my favourite things to do. He's always very happy to see Daddy, and puts on a very amusing wake-up / stretching routine. Just one of the many reasons that I'm not showing up at work very early these days!

Big boy outfit

He looks so serious and big!! Or maybe not? ;)

Gearing up for winter

It's been cold but Aidan still needs to go out everyday to fulfill all his social commitments. The winter suits finally fit enough to be able to go out and still look cute. Aidan doesn't love that he can't eat his hands when he just discovered them but he seems to find them very cozy.

Hands taste good

Aidan has found his hands, and spends lots of time exploring what they taste like. They taste better than Daddy's hands, which this morning tasted like baby wipes.
