36 Weeks: Spring has arrived; Fitz hits the swings

The warm weather is allowing us the chance to explore the nieghbourhood more thoroughly with FItz. On Sunday (and Mother’s Day!) we went up to a park and put Fitz on one of the baby swings, and boy did he like it! (There are three videos near the bottom of the post)

ABOVE: Fitz has now taken up his own space on the porch.

ABOVE: This is one of Fitz’s new things — leaning his head onto his right shoulder when he’s tired.

35 Weeks: Fitz goes porching

The good weather finally seems to be arriving, which means Fitzy is getting out more. This weekend we spent time with him on our porch. Matt calls this activity “porching.”

ABOVE: Uncle Nick also took part in our porching activities.

ABOVE: Fitz’s favourite thing to chew on is Carly’s sunglasses.

ABOVE: Super serious, even with remnants of his lunch on his face.

34 Weeks: Cuteness in the high chair

These photos not only highlight Fitz’s new eating skills, but also his emerging set of chompers. Those top two teeth are going to be big and possibly far apart — how cute!

33 Weeks: Eatser weekend

31 Weeks: Mr. Fitz goes to Vancouver, fight edition

We spent the last night of our trip back at Andrea and Grant’s place.

ABOVE & BELOW: Cameron and Fitz seemed to like playing with each other, until Cameron decided to twist off a piece of Fitz’s cheek. Twice.

30 Weeks: Mr. Fitz goes to Vancouver, hotel edition

After a few days at Andrea’s place, we moved into a hotel downtown. There was a great view from our window out onto Dunsmuir Avenue’s separated bike lanes, all of which Fitz seemed to enjoy.

ABOVE: Fitz spent a lot of time hanging out in our hotel room yucking it up for the camera.

ABOVE & BELOW: We had lunch with Leslie, the mother of Carly’s childhood friend Steve Sheffer, at the legendary Save On Meats.

30 Weeks: Mr. Fitz goes to Vancouver to hang out with Cameron

In the first week of April the whole family took a jaunt out to Vancouver during a work trip for Matt. The first few days were spent with friends Andrea and Grant and their 10-month old boy Cameron.

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz amuses himself before his second trip on a plane.

ABOVE & BELOW: Upon our arrival in Vancouver, Cameron said it was okay for Fitz to use his super cool swing set.

ABOVE: “How much of my hand can fit in here…?”

ABOVE: Andrea insisted it was too chilly for Fitz to wear only his fleece jacket, so he was wrapped up in this cute sloppy-eared dog snow suit.

ABOVE & BELOW: Cameron has a play area that keeps him contained when his lovely parents need to get shit done. Carly was able to take Fitz into it and play with the boys.
