Our Summer so far...

These pictures don't even begin to cover the number of pictures taken (Thank God for Digital cameras, otherwise I would be poor for all the developing I would have to do) and it doesn't even cover what we have done so far this summer, either. In addition to all of this, we have had two visits from Calder's Grandma, a visit from his Auntie Colleen, and a trip to the Zoo. Yesterday we went to the Lake and had a fun time throwing rocks in the water. :)

I apologize in advance for the weird spacing in this blog - no matter how much I try to fix it, it keeps changing back to large and weird spacing.

This is a picture of Calder sitting sooo nicely for me!! This was taken during a visit from his Avo and Grandpa - Gary cooked a Portuguese meal for us - Barbequed Sardines - yummy! :)

Calder and his Avo

Calder and Grandpa

Calder goes through phases of liking toys. Recently, he began to like this piano again and I often find myself bringing it down to the Family room, as per Calder's request "Bing"(his word for 'bring').
Calder wanted to try on my Sunglasses. What a cutie!! I think he's going to have a big head - they actually fit him quite well! :)

A great shot of Calder and his Daddy

Just a picture of my cutie.

Ask Calder to say 'cheese' for the camera, and this is what you sometimes get.

Calder and his Daddy recently took a trip to the Hockey Hall of Fame while Mommy got some much-appreciated and much-needed time with her sister. Calder had a blast, until, according to Gary, he saw all the goalie masks...he was a little scared of them. Oh well, he's not going to be a Goalie anyway, he'll be a Captain! :) Here is a picture of Calder and Gary in front of the Stanley Cup.

Here's a picture of the Calder Trophy - there is also the Calder cup...yes, Calder's namesake, even though I found the name in a Baby Name book. :p I don't care where it came from, I love Calder's name!!

Here's Calder pointing to his Future Team's Jersey - the Leafs!
Here's a Jersey that Gary was a bit astonished to find - Portugal!

On the way home, a moment of reflection on the Go Train.

Calder loves travelling on the Go train.

A picture of my baby and I. I love him so much it hurts.

Calder loves rice crackers - he is fanatical for them - "Cacker" he calls them.

Tonight Gary and I had a yummy Steak BBQ - our 2nd one in 2 years, I think we were due. Gary was in the mood for MEAT!


Calder sat pretty nicely at the table although he didn't eat any of the food. Well, he tried it, but he quickly spit it out. *sigh*

Gary throwing Calder way up high - Calder loved it.

We got a little pool for Calder today, since he seems to love water so much. He's come a long way from going to the washroom in the bath when he was just born. ;)

I hope everyone's having a wonderful summer. I may not be going away, or even leaving my city that much, but I am enjoying every minute that I do not have to work, and every minute that I get to spend with my son, no matter what we do!!
