May 2015 Ottawa visit

We took our brand new car, dubbed The Fitzy Car by Fitz, up to Ottawa for the weekend. Our Sunday consisted of a family gathering that quickly turned into the Fitz and Avery Show. Him and his cousin played with cars on the blanket and absolutely ran themselves ragged.

April 2015: 19 months and finally the hair is trimmed

ABOVE & BELOW: We took Fitz to Ottawa for a few days over the Easter weekend. Obviously, Lee was very enthused, especially when it came to feeding him chocolates.

ABOVE: This is one of the last times he wore his winter hat and coat.

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz has come to love running up and down the laneway behind our house. It offers him lots of space, interesting things to see, and freedom from traffic. You’ll notice that his hands are inside his mouth in almost all of these pics — he spent most of April teething (his back mollars are coming in). This was also the last weekend with his flowing locks untouched — photos below reveal the barber handiwork of Matt and Carly.

ABOVE & BELOW: New hair cut!

ABOVE: Fitz has taken a liking to walking under sandwich boards.

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz has become Mr. Cool with his new sunglasses.

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz is a big-time hugger and no one receives more attention from him at daycare than Abigail (above) and Yazsou (below).

March 2015: 18 months, yo

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz likes to lie down whenever he pleases. Matt believes it’s an art project that Fitz wants him to document.

ABOVE & BELOW: Bath time!

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz has been teething a lot lately, so his soother is often in use.

ABOVE & BELOW: Our friends Jen and Andy have a 4 year old son, Asher, who had his birthday party at a giant sized kid play fort. Fitz went for about 2 hours and had an amazing time, especially with the pedal car. He got in and out of that thing a hundred times and pushed other kids out of the way when they tried to move in to play with the car themselves.

February 2015: It’s all about the hair at 17 months

An assortment of photos from Matt’s camera and our iPhones.

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz has taken up a new spot in his bedroom: sitting on the desk or shelf to get a view out the back window. Mostly he thinks he sees cars and trucks. Oh, and that hair — look how big it is!?!

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz went to visit his great-grandmother for the afternoon in Barrie.

ABOVE: Fitz walking on the sidewalk near our place.

ABOVE: An early morning winter breakfast before sunrise doesn’t damper Fitz’s spirit.

ABOVE: Fitz and Matt take the 504 King streetcar into daycare.

ABOVE: A kids tent, known as a Peapod, has been the best addition to Fitz’s room. He jumps in and out of it with reckless abandon.

ABOVE: Our typical morning: Fitz making a mess, but with a smile.

ABOVE: A selfie of Fitz and Matt. Fitz gets really excited when he sees himself on the iPhone screen.

January 2015: On the move in the winter

ABOVE: Kath and Max with Fitz and Carly at a play date in the East End.

ABOVE: Fitz did a fair bit of travelling this month including a lot of trips in the backseat.

ABOVE & BELOW: Near the end of January Fitz and Carly travelled to Ottawa by train. Fitz liked looking out the window but found it difficult to sleep.

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz ran amok at the High Park Library on Roncesvalles.

ABOVE: Got a little artsy with this photo using my reflection in the window looking in into the livingroom from the porch. The winter white makes it work.
