Happy Second 2nd Birthday, Tyson!

Yah for Tyson! Today marks his second 2nd birthday... and his last corrected birthday! He is officially caught up to his real age now... which as of today, is 2 years, 3 months and 5 days old :) We love you, little guy.

Flashback of Tyson on his due date... you've come a long way, baby!

Budding Picasso

Tyson loves to draw. He could draw neat and even circles at about 16 months, and has been drawing "faces" since 18 months. When he draws his faces, he will tell you what part he is drawing as he draws them ("eyes, ears, bei-bei (nose), happy (for a smiling mouth), hair"). Sometimes he will even tell you who he is drawing (usually a Sesame Street character). Here are some pics of his recent toddler masterpieces... you can see the progression. He's now tackling printing letters. Four letters down, 22 more to go!

Summer Photo Catch-Up

Despite the lack of warm weather, it's been a busy summer for our family. Tyson turned two, daddy turned a bit older than two, and we sold our first home and moved out, amongst other escapades. We were thankful just to have some down time to spend with family and friends. Here are some various pics from the last few months.

Complete with an adorable Hello Kitty and Ernie cake lovingly made by Kai-Ma, a Winnie the Pooh pinata (poor Pooh suffered many blows before succumbing to his injuries), and yummy food hot off the grill. The kids had a lot of fun!

Call Mommy

Who you going to call? Nope, not dustbusters this time. As our son's vocabulary continues to grow at an astonishing rate, the cutest "phone" conversation dad overheard is as follows:

[Tyson, holding play phone and pretending to make a call at 4:45pm on a weekday; mom is just getting off the GO]:

• Call mommy.


• Hi mommy.


• Come home.


• Bye.

Enough to melt mom's heart and make her hurry home quicker.

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Our sweetie pie turned two today! Photos and updates to come later... we're in the midst of moving, so things are a bit hectic. But YAH for Tyson turning TWO!!


And of course, happy birthday to Madison! (Or "Manna", as Tyson calls her :) )

Who You Gonna Call?

Dustbusters!

We'd like to reiterate that we do not support child labour--we just have an industrious, curious, and helpful little guy :P

Is it Summer Yet?
