Eight Months Old

October 12 2004 – November 11 2004

May I present former Prime Minister of Canada

Jean Chrétien (at age 1)

Little Stephie and littler Matthew contemplating

rudimentary quadratic equations

More wood pounding

Real grass, fake mower. Productivity... Zero

After fake mowing the lawn for 30min we break

Ma, Pa, Bebe, leafs.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

Two routes to choose. Only one ever gets used

We have a new favourite snack

Hard to open a door when your own ass

is blocking it

Hasn’t started school yet but already chasing

after the school bus

Looking down on himself

After a bath a baby blankie rocks

Give me credit, I took this without looking

thru the camera

Danger!! Danger!! Danger!!

Dada’s computer about to be tasted

Long, complicated story about the one missing

sock. The quick and easy version of it is:

He took it off so he could chew on it

Tends to get a little wet under there

Playing the flute to an audience of one

Filing a grievance: I’m out of Cheerios!

Moonlight nap in the stroller

Baby + Computers = BAD!

(Sorry Keri, this is your computer)

Smile to the man upstairs (dada)

He can really book it when he’s being chased.
Or when he thinks he’s being chased

Smack on wood

Man Training Lesson #1: Never dirty a glass to get

a drink when you don’t need to

Need some practice with flow control, otherwise

he’s coming along nicely

Pondering a days deeds (good and bad) or

simply taking a pause to crap his pants

Unsportsmanlike

What ever he was looking for he didn’t find

Again “UP” to no good

Look at that stance. Military school here he comes

Dada needs a shave and baby needs a comb

Antennae deployed

Who do you think is having more fun?

Walked so far it tired him out

So tired he’s falling asleep sitting up. Put him

into his crib, and he screams bloody murder

Where’s Dada?

The hunt for food

Eating cheerios he found on the floor. Who needs

a dog? The baby will pick up after the baby

So sleepy... Need baba

Sleepers are designed for sleeping not

cruising around the house at 11:00pm

We can clearly see from this shot where the

boy gets his chicken-white complexion

This is where he gets his blue eyes.

Note to self: Chrissy has blue eyes too

A wider stance = more stability

Lil’Blue Ridding Hood

Finding some junk in the dirt

Queen’s Park (Barrie)

Ooooooo Foliage

One sock short of a one-man puppet show

Two for tea

Drop the camera or save the baby?

Sorry Buddy...

Sleeping position #234: The Face Plant
