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!

Antique Car

Duck park once again with Auntie Carr
Fineus Cheekeus.
Riding the swings with his friend Julie.


I thought this was spectacular. Fin prefers the ducks.

what a babe.

poor lil fella broke his leg at the park.  he'll grow into it.
Auntie Car was out to visit again a couple of weeks ago for her uni break and now she is writing this blog -and will stop referring to herself in the third person.
Finlay and I had a ton of fun skipping daycare together. We met lyndze and tyler for lunch a couple of times throughout the week which was really nice for everyone.
We danced and sang and went for lots of walks through the park - that kid is fearless on the slide!
Finlay was so close to walking, we knew it would happen soon. He is also getting really good at letting us all know what he wants and is not shy to make his desires/demands known. The time flew by with lots of laughs and smile shared.
Look! No hands!

Tyler? is that you? are you grumpy?



He liked to brush my teeth for me.

but he liked seeing himself brushing my teeth in the camera even more

"who is that baby in the camera? he looks like he's having the best time!"

I would try and ignore Fin's early morning requests for stair time so as not to disturb the neighbours.  I would try and call him to the living room to play...meanwhile he would go to the closet and get the keys and try to get out and climb the stairs! Advanced baby.

"i wish i was a little bit taller, i wish i was a baller, i wish i had an auntie who would do what i say and let me play"

Cruised down to the beach and played with every dog in sight!

he was not happy when it was time to go home for lunch


Stairs!

Morning ritual, 5:42am nearly every morning.  Luckily i could go back to sleep until lyndze and ty headed off to work

Finlay loves my mobile phone. "RING RING, is Finlay there?"
Now when we Skype he puts a wooden coaster to his ear, it's super cute!

See ya next time buddy!
