Jack chowing down on some chow

Jack’s 3rd birthday

We generally keep the kids’ birthdays as relatively low-key affairs, so much so that I apparently didn’t take many photos at Jack’s 3rd birthday. However, you can take my word for it that Jack had a group of friends over to enjoy cupcakes together (expertly made by Mama, replete with Jack’s obsession du jour; Cars) and then we headed off to go and play at an arcade / play structure.

Also, for a bit of fun, if you want to see how much he has grown in the past year, check out these posts from a year ago. Continue reading “Jack’s 3rd birthday”

February – April 2017

As was the case in January, it’s been a bit manic lately with our move to Portland, so we haven’t had much time to do updates on the website here.

But, rather than deprive you all of Jack’s cuteness, here’s another little compilation from the last couple of months. Continue reading “February – April 2017”

Jack’s 1st birthday [VIDEO]

It has been a whole year now since Jack was born.

366 whole days.

I’m really finding it hard to fathom that. It came so much quicker than it did with Ellie because life has been so much busier with two than it was with one.

Nonetheless, our little man really is becoming a little man now. He’s on the precipice of walking and all of a sudden, he’s changed from a little bundle of body parts to a little boy with human stature. It’s bizarre to witness.

This evening, to celebrate his birthday, we went to Love Food Central in St Pete – one of our favourite local vegan places – to enjoy dinner with some family. The owners were even kind enough to give Jack a piece of peanut butter pie with a candle in it and he boshed the lot of it! Continue reading “Jack’s 1st birthday [VIDEO]”

Jack getting a taste for solid food

With Ellie, as soon as she hit 6 months, we started experimenting with solid foods. We haven’t been quite as quick to jump on it with Jack, simply because we don’t have as much free time to experiment and prepare food! So he’s had the odd chomp here and there on an apple or a banana, but he certainly seems to be enjoying it. Continue reading “Jack getting a taste for solid food”

Jack’s first taste of solid food [VIDEO]

Today Jack is 6 months old and as much as he loves to put things in his mouth, we thought it was high time that he try a little solid food. So we gave him some Honeycrisp apple in this little mesh-chompy-thing so that he could bite on it and get some of the flavour and juice without choking on it. And the verdict? He absolutely loves it!
