Mic Guy

I knew my 30th birthday gift would come in handy down the road...

Sunday Tea

Owen and I had a Sunday tea visit with our previous landlady. She snapped these photos of O acting the fool, complete with cookies and milk.

Toddler!

Owen is officially a toddler at 18 months and a week old. He makes us laugh with all his new discoveries, like blowing bubbles, learning how to use a harmonica, saying "Oh no!" or "Ta da!" with a great flourish of hand waving.

Currently on his LOVE list are the following:

• Going outside
• Watching or blowing bubbles
• Splashing in puddles
• Exploring holes in the sidewalk with his left index finger
• Squealing at a high pitch
• Yelling "Go! Go! Go!" while watching any of the NHL playoff games
• "Rowing" his boat to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat
• Singing his ABCs
• Falling down during "Ring Around the Rosy"
• Excavators, cars, big machinery, airplanes

Look What I Can Do Now!

First Mechanical Ride

17 Months of Hair Gone, Just Like That.

Big day around here...

Gone are those curls I loved so much, for they are now sealed in plastic and stapled to an official certificate congratulating O on his first haircut!

He loved his congratulatory balloons from mummy and daddy.

He was as pleased as punch to catch sight of his new 'do in the mirror afterwards.

A Hairy Situation

There was a little boy

Who had a little curl

Right in the middle of his forehead.

And when he was good,

He was very, very good.

And when he was bad,

He was horrid!

My curly guy is getting a haircut this weekend -- his first. I love his curls, but he is starting to resemble Nick Nolte's mugshot these days.
