About Us

Victoria, BC, Canada
This blog began as a modern "baby book" for our first child, Finlay, who was born in December of 2010. The recent addition of Seamus, born in January of 2013, has meant continued efforts to put into words and pictures his early years. We also use this forum to catalog our family life: two loving partners, two beautiful kids, car-free, child-centred, attachment-focused, with a love of food and health thrown into the mix!

You Make Bath Time So Much Fun!

January 25, 2012


Being back at work, and with Finlay being in daycare, our mornings are hectic, our days are busy and spent apart, and our evenings we take really slowly just to absorb every minute with each other.

I pick Fin up from Kyla's and we drive the 5KMs home in downtown rush-hour singing and talking in the rear-view mirror.  He really enjoys looking out the window these days.  When we get home, we have a snack on our mat, play with toys, dance, listen to music, make and eat dinner, and have a bath.

We love bath time.  At the end of dinner, Finlay begins to point in the direction of the bathroom and carefully places his remaining food in Tyler's hand (we have asked him to do this instead of throwing it all over the place).  He squeals as he watches the tub fill.  He tosses his toys into the tub.  He talks and points at the tub and then at his belly (his sign for wanting something).

And then he is in.

So happy splashing and playing with his toys.

A little weirded-out by the presence of a camera.

Tyler has a game where he tosses the foam toys, which are supposed to stick to the shower wall, at the shower wall to see if he can get them to stick.  Sometimes they stick, mostly they don't, but sometimes they bounce off of the wall and stick to Fin's back.  Here is a picture of that accomplishment.  Fin doesn't notice but in the picture he looks rather concerned.

Finlay likes to collect all of the toys and stick them to the wall.  Here he is, in action, sticking the sting-ray-shaped foamy to the wall. 

He stuck it to the whale!

He moved it over but, in the process, knocked down the shark!  SHARK!!

Anyway, as you can see, this is very amusing... to him... and to us...  maybe to you?  If you've got this far you must find it at least a little interesting...  and cute!  I mean, just look at that bum!
