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!

Peanut-butter Everywhere!

March 08, 2012

Well Wednesday evening Finlay was not feeling too well.  We had some upset tummy issues in the middle of the night that led us to decide to keep him home from daycare on Thursday. This meant that Dad also got a day home from work to play with Finlay. What a deal!  Apparently it was a short lived bug because by 10:00am the next day he was back to his usual happy smiley self.  He was certainly a little more picky than usual with his food so we resorted to a safe bet of peanut butter on rice cake and half an apple.

 Fin was just up from a nap and it was a sunny day in the kitchen so we decided to have a shirtless/pantless  snack to save on some laundry.  Finlay loves any opportunity to run around naked!
 Here is a great picture of why I love Finlay's hair!  It just curls up in the cutest way.  Lyndze did give his bangs a little trim later that day because they were sitting in his eyes all the time. Fin seemed happier with the trim.

 I love Finlay's eyes.  There is something much older about them. I think he has some wisdom hidden back there.  We had a couple of babysitters over and when we returned and asked how everything went they stated that all went well.  And then one of them said "except sometimes he looks at you with those eyes and I feel like he knows something that I don't. Or that he is questioning my ability to be a babysitter."  I thought that was pretty amusing.

 Fin always gives such cute expressions when eating.

 Cute expressions like this one!
And this one.

After this meal there was peanut-butter everywhere - on his front and back, in his arm-pit, and even on his baby toe!
