Tummy time in Ottawa
Tummy time in Ottawa: a few new noises and a lot of kissing the blanket.
Mr. Fitz Goes to Ottawa, pt. I
In part 1 of Mr. Fitz Goes to Ottawa, we find our protagonist growing and being adored on his first trip north of Bloor and east of Spadina.
Above: Carly has said she thinks Fitz might be an actor one day. Well, here we have “The Many Faces of Fitzgerald”, his first performance art piece.
Above: Grandpa Dunster seems to be the first person to be able to coax a smile out of Fitz on command, even during tummy time.
Above: A little love from Mommy.
Above: Fitz contemplates meaning the of Life. Though, he’s more likely to be thinking about whether he should spit-up now or wait until he’s sitting on someone’s lap.
Above two photos: Fitz decided it would be gentlemanly of him to wear pants and a shirt to Thanksgiving dinner…
Above two photos: …But as soon as he arrived at Uncle Michael & Aunt Beyla’s Thanksgiving dinner Fitz gets all snobby and falls asleep, though Grandma Dunster is still entertained.
A little tummy time
This video shows that our hero has reached the stage where he can try out ‘tummy time.’ And he really seems to like it.
A smile, a cheer, a yawn, and more close-ups
The older Fitz gets the more opportunities we have to socialize with him. The range of expressions are emerging, which means a greater variety of photos.
One month old!
Lil’ Fitz has made it to the ripe old age of one month. It has been an emotional roller coaster so far but also very rewarding, especially when we get to look back at the photos and see how much he’s grown. While he’s only recently passed the 7-pound mark (he was born at 5lbs, 13oz, and shrunk to 5lbs, 4oz by the end of his first week), he has changed a lot. His eyes are certainly brighter, his cheeks are fuller, and he seems much more aware of his surroundings.
He was calm and playful this morning so I (Matt) was able to capture him resting peacefully on the couch. As you can see, he’s on the verge of truly smiling. We are seriously looking forward to having a range of expressions other than crying and curious bewilderment.
