 Fitz’s 41st week involved going to vote in the provincial election (he’s a huuuuuge Libertarian supporter).

39 Weeks: Fitz turns 9 months & makes a point

Fitz and Matt got to spend an entire weekend together for the first time while Carly relaxed at a cottage with friends near Collingwood. Fitz reached the 9-month mark during the weekend so he celebrated by knocking down stacked blocks and pointing at everything.

37 Weeks: May Long Weekend in Ottawa with Fitz

We brought Fitz to Ottawa for the May long-weekend and he continued to melt hearts, especially when he wore a bow tie and skinny jeans.
