One way to wake Graeme up is to put Catriona in bed with him. Size comparison What are they thinking? Graeme the Baker And Grammy, the... um... sous-chef. Catriona at almost 5 weeks old. Catriona notices the camera. Now that's an expression! You think I'm letting go of this finger? Weee, I can fly! I like what she's doing with her hands here. It's almost human! Standard lifted-baby pose. What you can't see is the chair that Shirley is standing on. (oh, I'm so going to get it) Grammy and Graeme are making egg bread today. Notice the nice braids! Quick check of Catriona. Egg wash, Shirley style, and... ...egg wash Graeme style. Over the shoulder point of view. A typical Catriona pose. Notice the arms over the head. She *always* sleeps like that. Graeme and Granddad enjoy a moment. Grammy and Graeme made english muffins several times. They were quite tasty! You know you must be doing the parenting thing well if your baby is sleeping on your chest. Easter Egg Hunt! The hunt was a success! Catriona and Granddad Classic. Graeme really wants to hold her, but these moments last about 10 seconds, tops. Catriona frequently sleeps with Mummy... ...although once in a while Mummy escapes. The best kind of baby is a sleeping baby. :) Graeme's daycare had their annual pony ride today. This year was the first time Graeme had the courage to ride on the horse. Streeeettttttch! Granddad brought tools! "If you have a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail." Doug & Jenn went to Simon's for sushi today, and Graeme *didn't* come with us... ...so Simon sent us home with a whole container of Salmon Roe (aka: Ikura) for Graeme, gratis! Thanks Simon! I included this shot to illustrate the fantastic healing powers of the human infant. Notice those scratches (self-inflicted)? They heal within about 24 hours. Bath time! (in the big tub now) Catriona is not amused, although Jenn seems pretty happy at having a clean baby. Pudgy Baby Back She can stand! (kinda) Wow, a rare shot of the Dougus Photographerus, with Catriona who can stand! (very assisted) Grammy and Granddad from Graeme's point of view. Up in our bedroom, Catriona is getting nursed, and Graeme is after some attention. Big girl, sitting up in her (hey: mine!) bed. It's pencil boy! Nice shot of Graeme. Catriona is two months old now. Stacked. Cute smile. A little father-son climbing. Jenn is baking Butter Tarts! Look who is sitting up so well! It's amazing to think that Graeme looked almost exactly like that. She's happiest sitting up, or lying on your chest, head on the shoulder. But don't put her horizontal. Nice grin, Catriona!
