If this video doesn’t turn you into mush, you’d better visit your doctor and make sure your heart is still beating… Nic was making lunch, Ben was watching TV and Abi was fussing in her high chair (I was at work in the basement, and came up just as it was happening.) Suddenly Abi was [...]
The army crawl is long gone. Abi now does a full-speed, zooming-across-the-house crawl. She can also pull herself up to standing, and then get herself back down when she’s done (usually). Here’s a little video we caught of her in the kitchen, and there’s some new pics in the sidebar…
So I figured I’d give you all a little break from the ranting and update you on how the kids are doing… We took Benjamin for an initial visit with a Tyke Talk speech path on Friday. He’s a “late talker” — which apparently isn’t all that uncommon for boys. He has about 30 words [...]
Away for a wedding this weekend, so here are some videos to watch… It may be an odd-looking shuffle, but you’d be surprised at how fast she can get around! Abi would very much like Ben to give her his bottle. Ben would very much like Abi to give him all her toys — he [...]
Its not reasonable to expect warm summer weather in the middle of October, but it sure is wonderful when you get it. This weekend we hosted our first family get together — Nicole’s immediately family, plus Nanny all hiked up, with turkey and other delicious food for Thanksgiving. Benjamin could not have been more excited. [...]
Gotta lighten the mood around here, so everyone look at these pictures and say “aww, how cute” and hope that whoever ends up in charge down there, these kids inherit more than just our mess… Abi frequently rides around in the laundry hamper. Hanging out with Daisy is a little more rare. Usually the cat [...]
Abi started crawling yesterday! We have some video, but I haven’t had time to import it and get it online. She looks a bit like Benjamin, when he first started crawling — although her approach is definitely discernably different than the frog hop. She puts her face down, lifts up her butt, and then slides [...]
Some time ago, we reported excitedly that Ben had begun grabbing things. Those without babies probably can’t properly understand how exciting this little step is. For the first few months of life, their hands and arms are just unruly appendages. In fact, the other day, Nic reminded me that Ben used to keep his arms [...]
I got home to Canada this weekend, for all of about 36 hours. Got to see my kids, spend some time with my wife, and change a few diapers. While I was there, Benjamin got his first hair cut. He was a very good boy through the whole thing, and of course, he looks adorable [...]

The other day, Benjamin toddled into the living room, tugged on mommy’s pants and demanded a bath. Not only was it the right time of night (we usually give him his bath just before bed) but it was the right night — bath night is every other, and he knows it. No, he can’t talk [...]
