bikes on ice, kids on dads…

[metawidget]

I got in my January bike ride last week: a grocery run on that merciful day when the streets were pretty much clear from the melt — Wednesday, I think. Eleven months to go, with February and March being the only hard ones (I hope).

It's been a while since I've posted an Oscar photo.

Oscar, a couple of days ago, all dressed up in a sweater from commodorified and a blueberry balaclava from moonlightjoy — he's lucky to be born into a circle that contains many generous and talented knitters!

Oscar on me, and Cora (almost 2 years old) on her dad Marc — we had Marc, Marlene and Cora over for dinner last night; they've been one of our "this is what to expect" families due to that little age gap. Marc was also the experienced brains of the operation in the nursery flooring saga. Cora continues to be fascinated by Pixel, and seems now to be a little fascinated by Oscar (but not as much as by Pixel "the gatito").

Oscar is over 15 pounds and figuring out new tricks at his usual pace: he can sometimes scootch forward a bit, and can definitely move laterally by rolling. We're still waiting for that first tooth… the drooliness and occasional grumpiness says it's on the way somewhere.

I saw the Oscar photo and thought "what a gorgeous sweater...I wonder if..."

SQUEE KNITTED GOODS ON A CUTE BABY! These are always my favourite pics!

ha ha, you have a Sophie!

It seems like all the cool babies have a Sophie (and by cool, I mean those that have friends or relatives who get organic, food grade chew toys for babies).

Apparently if you wash a Sophie in soap and water, you get an albino Sophie. Some friends with a slightly older baby found that out before we had a chance to try that :)

ha ha, that's funny. We've washed ours and the spots are still there, but he has chewed/gummed the spots off Sophie's head. (Note, it has limited use. He hasn't used it since he was maybe 6-8 months)
