Matching shirts!

You can't really tell, but the boys are wearing the cutest matching shirts with their names on them....Kristi and I have plans to buy them a matching outfit every year, much to the disgust of our husbands :)

Baby Blue Eyes

Matching PJs for the boys - too cute!

K & M & AJ & C in the Grand Place

Kissing my little man

Chatty baby


Whenever people are around, Calvin is quiet or coos like a normal baby....so I filmed him making his growls so everyone would believe me! It makes me laugh every time - my little nutter :)

A couple of pics of my cutie pie


Calvin checking his email in Brussels

Hanging out with Mama in the hotel room



Trip Number 9

Kristi and I take a trip every year...I'm sure you have all heard about our (mis)adventures! Someday hopefully the boys will continue the tradition :)

2005 Istanbul/Bulgaria/Malta 2006 Dublin
2007 Prague/Berlin 2008 Chicago 2009 Brussels

Taxi ride to the Eurostar



Calvin is technically way too young to be in this car seat, but I had no other option of getting to the train station so had to hope the cab driver didn't notice! Luckily Calvin cooperated and did his best big boy impression :)

Bathtime with AJ



The boys loved hanging out with each other - and AJ helped with the lotion!

Pub visit


Since this was Lou's first time to London, we showed him one of our favorite things about living here - pubs! This is a sleepy Calvin cuddling with his daddy.

Strolling Dads

The Metallos came for a visit and Martin and Lou pushed their sons while Kristi and I got a chance to talk (and run after them taking photos!)

Baby Massage

Calvin and I went to Baby Massage at the Highgate Community Centre (all free - gotta love England!) It is supposed to be bonding time between mama and baby, with lots of eye contact - but Calvin was too busy living up to his onesie and checking out the older woman (a 5 month old!) next to him :)

Farmor and Jan


Gudrun (Farmor) and Jan came for a visit. It was Jan's first time in London, so we showed him all the important places like the martini bar (above) and a pub (below).

Tummy Time


Calvin's definitely not impressed.

Play date with Maya




Emma and Maya came over for coffee and a play session, which at 3 months old pretty much just involves lying on a play mat next to each other. At one point they were holding hands...almost certainly by accident, but still so cute!

At Baby Yoga with Scarlett




Courtney, Scarlett, Calvin and I all went to Baby Yoga in Primrose Hill. More dance session for babies than yoga for mommies, but good fun nonetheless. As a size comparison - Scarlett is 8 months old, Calvin 3 months...he's my big boy!

Eloise and Calvin

We got two more cats to keep Bella company, Alfie and Eloise. They all share the same father, so they are actually half-siblings. Eloise is a total rascal and loves to be where the attention is, which is usually centred around Calvin! Alfie still hasn't come out from under the bed....

Wagamama with Courtney

I think I'd like one of those!



12 Week Checkup

At his 12 week check-up, Calvin was 6.86kg and 66cm, which brought him back to the 99.5% in height and 80% in weight. Let's hope he can keep that ratio for awhile!

A giggle for Mama!
