Update for August

I've had a few people question my last post, so here's the scoop. It's a spam message that I received a while back, and it made no sense to me. But on some level (perhaps a level that only I exist on), it seemed a bit poetic. So I thought I'd share it.

The past few weeks have been interesting. O is nearly walking (still), and really growing. His last checkup had him about the same size as a one-year-old, and we've now got him in a front-facing car seat (with his doctor's OK). He is drinking from a cup, a cup with a straw, and a sippy-cup with no problem, which has made going to restaraunts a bit easier. He's also eating pretty much whatever we give him, including bits and pieces of "big-person" food. He LOVES olives so much that I'd say they're his favorite food. The only problem with his eating habits is he tends to push baby food away if we let him have real food first.

Holls starts her practicum next week, which means that she's almost completely done school. It also means that O starts daycare, so we're a bit nervous about that. He'll probably do just fine, but will need some time to adjust to a new routine. We'll need some time to adjust, too -- coordination in the morning is going to be a pain, but that's parenting!

Poetry or spam?

Pstt, hey buddy

Quite a night. We went and watched open mike at a coffee shop, because a couple of friends were playing. The music was fantastic, and (happily) Oliver made it through the evening without melting down! He loves watching people play guitar, so that's not completely suprising.

On the way home after, I had the most interesting question asked of me: "Hey, man, you wanna buy a pair of bib carharts that'l fit you for 20 bucks?"

I said no thanks.

By the way, there're some new photos on flickr. Click an image on the left.

Wow...

Never met him, don't know him, but was mesmerized by this.

Settling Down

After a rather rushed start to the summer, things are starting to settle down. We spent the first two weeks of June in Red Deer while Holly finished her courses, which gave me the opportunity to play Mr. Mom. I gained a whole new appreciation for being a parent. O started crawling half way through the vacation, which changed things drastically - baby gates and cupboard locks are high on the to-do list right now.

Coming home was fantastic, since we are finally mostly settled into our new house. I'm enjoying having a yard to keep me occupied, and believe me: I'll be occupied for years to come on this one. We're learning about some of the joys of an old house, like sloped floors and densely packed soil. But other than some minor issues, the house is great, and we've already grown comfortably into the extra space.
