" Thanks Aunt Cora for cutting my hair"

We needed to distract with food (hence the baby mum mums in both hands)

All done!

Spending Christmas with Family and Friends - 2008

PJ surveying the tree and presents to be opened. Every night he would say good night to the Christmas tree and point out every "star" on it.

Sitting him his new chair - thanks Auntie Elle.

PJ loves to eat

One of the things about PJ is his healthy appetite. His favourite foods are yogurt, pasta, bread, baby mum-mums (crackers) and raisins. He also loves to use his hands to pick up food to eat by himself. See video

Summer of '08

PJ had a busy summer, travelling to different places and enjoying the outdoors. He really enjoys the outdoors! Here he is enjoying the swing while on a picnic with his friends.

PJ is enjoys eating and being outdoors - perfect for a picnic in Port Perry.

PJ went on a weekend trip with his '07 buddies to Blue Mountain: Abby, Alyssa, Andrew, Caleb, Connor, & Josiah. (sponsored by Fisher Price!)

With neighbours Connor and Andrew
"YAY, Andrew is moving closer - just down Woodbine Avenue."
All the mommies and their first-born!

Chicago

In July, we took a roadtrip to Chicago with our neighbours, the Hungs. They also have a little boy, Connor whom PJ plays with regularly in playgroups and at church. Here is a shot of the Chicago skyline just outside the Shedd Aquarium.

"Here I am with Dad at the dolphin auditorium."

One of the aquarium divers stopped to take a photo with PJ and Daddy.

"Nice view, eh?"

Dad and PJ, Uncle Jon and Connor.

"I'm exploring 'my room' at the hotel! By the way, did I mention that I LOVE to crawl around and pull myself up on furniture! I can't wait to walk!"

Cloud Gate: A famous work of art in Chicago's Millenium Park. Too bad PJ was asleep, he would have gotten a hoot from looking at his reflection. He loves looking at himself!

Daddy and PJ at the Crystal Garden inside Navy Pier.

"Boy, mom and dad, are you ever stumpy!"

"Mom and dad bought me a Cubs' cap as my Chicago souvenir."

Growing up fast

PJ loves playing inside is ball-tent and smiling for camera. It's like he knows when the camera is on!

In his new fisherman's hat

On his first swing!

His first wheels! (well, when we eventually take off the safety locks)

PJ goes to his first NBA game

PJ makes his first appearance at a Raptors playoff game. He didn't cry at all, even with all the loud fireworks and chanting of "HO-WARD, HO-WARD"

Dad and son with matching Bosh Jerseys.

Even with the loud noises, he was able to fall asleep during the half-time show
