Fitz’s daycare, Studio 123, hosts a very charming graduation for the kids heading off to kindergarten.

Eli’s parent hosted his birthday at their house in the west end, which backs onto a ravine with a pathway that leads down to the Humber River. He invited Fitz, Callum, Abigail, and Leo (Abi couldn’t make it).
ABOVE: We took Fitz to get a haircut and they really cut it. We had no idea it would be this short. Carly was slightly traumatized by it but on the plus side we won’t have to get it cut for a long time.
We went for a short visit to Ottawa. We took Fitz down to Carly’s Uncle Michael’s place that has a big backyard.
Fitzy and his buddy Leo have their birthdays one day apart so we threw them a joint party in the courtyard of Leo’s parent’s place.

Fitz spent Thanksgiving in Ottawa where he showed off his hair and plentiful teeth.
Fitz is moving with some speed and purpose these days. These two videos show off his unique crawling style, which is more of a hop-crawl.
Because we are going to be out of town on Fitz’s actual birthday we decided to throw a little party for his Toronto friends. We gathered in Albert Crosland Parkette so that the kids and babies could run around the splash pad / wading pool.
ABOVE: Fitz reads the card from Emmit and his mom Andria.
ABOVE & BELOW: As demonstrated in previous posts, Fitz has a desire to crawl on top of other babies no matter who they are. Throughout the party Fitz could be repeatedly found affectionately trying to wrestle Emmit to the ground.
ABOVE & BELOW: Meghan encourages Fitz’s curiosity in all kinds of ways, it seems.

ABOVE & BELOW: Fitz seemed to understand that everyone was paying attention to him, but he was unsure why. Maybe this cupcake has something to do with it….
