11 months and counting.

Fun at the dinner table. He loves to goof around at meal time.

We went to the Seattle Children's Museum with PEPS. It was a TON of fun. And we did a mock run of the first cupcake, but without eating it! I was cleansing (no sugar or refined flour) and wanted to save that moment for the real first birthday. Loic didn't know what the think about the singing and the small flame burning in front of him. Nor did his other PEPS friends.

I don't know where to start. It's been so long since I've posted. It's 2011! I wondered if I'd ever get tired of this life as a stay at home mom. Not yet. I love it. Among others, my new years resolution includes staying abreast of Loic's developmental stages. I don't want to be a parent that doesn't respond to the challenges of a 1 year old. Like, aggression (yep, seen it), reluctance to share (of course), and the march towards "the terrible twos". So, what does that mean for me? I am not sure...

Reggae Christmas Videos

Christmas is in full swing. Music, tree, cookies, mistletoe, shopping, etc. Who knew that Christmas was so much fun with a kid? Duh. I love it!

These videos are just small snapshots of our mornings. Short n sweet. Sorry about the singing in the second one. I try not to do that.

Lindsey and Dan's Wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona

Burberry Baby, no kidding. But check out the cacti too, Royal Palm Resort is BEAUTIFUL.

The climate in Arizona did funny things to Loic's hair. That was a weekend long hair tuft he had on top of his head.

He also had something weird with his tongue that weekend. Could that be the weather too?

Staying Busy during the Ceremony

Loic likes shoes.

We spent before and during the ceremony on this nice patch of grass at the back. It was perfect for Loic, he was able to explore, including the base of a palm, leaves, and a light along the walkway.

The handsome family.

Loic looking tired at the brunch the next day (in his train engineer halloween costume). He hardly slept the whole weekend...

Arizona Wedding Weekend

Loic and I took a dip in the pool at the hotel. He can't swim yet. But he's pretty comfortable in the water.

Loic wearing the halloween Trail Engineer Hat (it's getting a bit small), getting ready to test the water.

The morning ritual, crappy coffee on the hotel terrace. Pretty nice.

Three generations of Emmerson men walking to the cocktail party the night before Lindsey and Dan's wedding.

Playing around and eating, too.
