How Do You Like Them Apples 2007-10-09 21:38:00 Charlie seems to be developing a bit of a stubborn streak. A few days ago we were in the grocery store when Charlie spotted a bin of shiny red apples. She pointed at them, laughed and gave us the hugest, cutest grin. As we moved away from the apples the grin turned into a frown and then Charlie started with her fake baby cry. We gave in a bought two apples for the princess to hold. She held on to them the whole way home, and then for TWO more hours. Charlie loved those apples. Eventually her bed time rolled around and we had to take the apples away. As you can see, in this video expose, Charlie was not amused.
P.S.: Charlie forgot about the apples when she woke up the next morning - in fact she now feels completely indifferent about apples. Read more:Apples
The Old Lady's Party 2007-11-08 20:18:00 Charlie turned 1 on November 4th. Weird. Who would of thought we could have kept a baby alive for a whole year. To be fair, Chrissy and Henrik have kept Emma alive for the same length of time, so I guess we are not that special.In celebration of their longevity Emma and Charlie had a joint 'first birthday' party. This means they each got twice as many presents. Charlie and Emma invited 12 kids (all under 3) to their party. Each of the 12 kids brought along at least one adult. It was a pretty rocking party for our pretty small house.Emma and Charlie played very well together; not surprising given that they are old school chums. Charlie also got to play with her next door neighbours Ellie and Gillian. As you can see Charlie loves Ellie.Charlie received more gifts than we know what to do with. All the presents were very thoughtful. Special thanks to Maggie and Bruno for buying the toy with the most small parts that are scattered all over the house and inevitably end up under fo Read more:Party
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmma?? 2008-03-09 14:53:00 Charlie and Emma had their first joint professional photoshoot this week. In view of the INSANE weather (see below) we have been forced to resort to less conventional activities - such as junior modelling! Actually, we have been meaning to take the girls in to further document their friendship, so we took advantage of an Easter special and carted them off to the Superstore for a photo session. Wow. It's hard to get two one year-olds to sit quietly for a portrait. Especially when one of them (Emma) is primarily interested in eating chocolate and not at all interested in sitting still. It was quite the little adventure. To our great surprise though, we ended up with a very cute shot of the two together and one of Charlie with the Easter bunny. Efforts at getting Emma on her own had to be sc
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow! 2008-03-09 14:43:00 We know we are not alone, but here in Ottawa we have been bombarded with a RIDICULOUS amount of snow over the past three days or so. About 64 cms to be precise. Kudos to Mike and his dad, Noel, for spending most of the weekend shovelling snow. And thanks to both of them for not having heart attacks while doing so. It's tough going out there.... I might have to stay indoors until spring.
We Are Oh So Pretty 2008-01-18 21:21:00 It was a late night. We partied, hit the clubs, danced, and after a couple last bottles of milk it was time to crash. Read more:Pretty
Boxy McGee 2008-01-15 21:32:00 Charlie likes to climb into things: boxes, baskets, containers, sacks, she really doesn't discriminate. There is a good chance she will grow out of this quirk; she get larger everyday but the boxes stay the same size.
Merry Late Christmas/New Years 2008-01-12 21:59:00 Happy New Year, Merry
Santa Day, its been a long lazy time between posts. We have finally recovered from the holidays. We had a great time, put thousands of miles on our car, Charlie had the stomach flu (we did learn that she needs to learn to chew her food), and only 346 days until we will do it all again.Charlie had a great Christmas
even though she had no idea what was going on. In fact the unwrapping of presents freaked her out a bit. Emilie and I have been so diligent in teaching her not to rip books that the concept of ripping off wrapping paper was a bit scary for her. Ultimately Charlie conquered this fear and a good thing she did; she got thousands of gifts.Of course the best part of the holiday was getting to hang out as a family. It is crazy how many tricks Charlie has lea Read more:Years

Charlie's Engineering Lesson 2008-07-04 18:36:00 Charlie learned that a tower built on a shaky foundation - when intentionally pushed - will fall. She was not too impressed. Read more:Charlie
Look Who's Walking and Talking 2008-07-01 17:57:00 It seems like only yesterday when I resolved to post more. Since then, in typical resolution fashion, I have not posted at all. I take this to be not a measure of laziness, but of how busy we all have been. Work was (and is) very busy, the winter was long, and as usual time is short.Charlie has also kept us busy. She has finally learned how to walk. According to the doctor 99% of kids learned Read more:Walking

Where Did the Lazy Days of Summer Go? 2008-08-17 19:13:00 It is the middle of August. Summer
is almost over. I know this because the Blue Jays' hopes of a playoff spot are growing ever dimmer. As the summer draws to a close Emilie and I cannot help but dread the craziness that will engulf us in the very near future.We are in the process of doing renovations to accommodate baby number 2 (unlike Charlie who had a cute in utero nickname, our second chil
