Malcolm’s 2nd Birthday

Here are some highlights of Malcolm’s 2nd birthday, so far…

On his actual birthday.

A little brotherly lego, or the calm right before Malcolm knocks down Euan’s creation in the name of “tidying up” and gets a swift smack from his brother……. oh boy…..

Fun in the puddles

 

Euan & Malcolm celebrating the end of winter. That’s Euan “walking” our neighbour’s dog.

Cherry Blossoms

We checked out the cherry blossoms in High Park today. After 5 minutes of making the trees "snow: Euan was mostly interested in the picnic.And as always exploring with his stick.

Glorious Spring!

Malcolm as always, is the life of the party.

Trying to get Euan & Malcolm in the same photo is like trying to get a photo of Brangelina.

Euan takes a test break from his baking. Note his creative storage of the "scrambler".

A rare moment of brothers working side-by-side.

Happy Birthday to Malcolm in Florida

Malcolm is clearly excited about being 1 yr old. At the Doctor today he was 10.49 kg (51 %ile, 23 lbs) and 79.6 cm tall (88 %ile)Grandma Mary and Euan have some serious fun in the sun.

Showing off the walking skills at Pearson airport.

In honour of his 1st birthday, Malcolm got his mullet cut off. He clearly wasn't too thrilled about it.Hopefully soon I will learn to post videos from our new camera and you can see some Bday footage.

Malcolm the Magnificent

Here's Malcolm the Magnificent who is demonstrating his new trick of the unassisted stand!

Woaaaa! Look Ma no hands! (I should post a video as he does a little knee-dip dance)

Merry Christmas & Happy 2010!

We spent Christmas in North Bay, where we had a nice white Christmas. Here is a shot of Allan & Euan takign advantage of the snow by shovelling the lake (see in the background).

Malcolm's first Christmas dinner. We couldn't keep the mashed potatoes coming fast enough!

Malcolm's first Christmas morning present binge.

Euan studies his toys.

Before heading to North Bay, lucky Euan got to make Christmas cookies with the ever-patient Grandma Mary.

9-month old Malcolm

Malcolm turned 9-months old on Dec 22nd and now weighs 9.425 kg & is 77 cm long, which is 63rd & 98th percentile respectively. For academic interest that is longer & leaner than his big bro. But Malcolm is FAR more active at this age than Euan, so perhaps not surprising.

Malcolm's Milestones

Poor neglected second child, Malcolm, now crawls, pulls to standing and has at least 3 teeth with more on the way. But we seem to have few pictures. He is nearly 8 months old now, but I can give you his 6-month stats, he weighed 19lb 8 oz, and so seems destined to keep up with his big brother. So here are a couple of cute shots that we have!

Euan's Autumn adventures

A couple of shots of Euan the Elephant on Halloween. He was more interested in eating candy than going door to door.

Euan has also found time to explore his interest in trucks this fall. His favourite being a "rusty old tractor" from a farm we visited. And some big construction equipment at our friend Jer's in Windsor. (I'm sure Jer had the parking brake on...)

Another one from our trip to Windsor, in a tree with friend Naomi.

Euan's Amusements

Euan and Mom at Centreville on Centre island in Toront

Euan with Grandma Mary & Dad at Santa's Village. Euan is not too keen on sitting on a strange man's knee. Wise boy.

Euan and Dad do some kayaking.

Summer Malcolm

Hanging out with GG on the dock.

I am 5 months old in this picture, therefore I eat my toes!

Vacation

Playing in the waves in North Bay on lake Nippising (yes those are raindrops in the water)

Malcolm relaxes with Dad in Temagami.

Bedtime at Deerhurst. Reading stories against the mountain of pillows!
