Vincent's first taste of pie.

Vincent tried Dad's homemade coconut cream pie with a little help from aunt Karen. He was not sure at first if he liked it but as of today there is no more pie left.

Play time with Uncle Bill

Vincent loves his play time with Uncle Bill. He tries hard to smile all the time but sometimes he needs a little help.

Cousin Kathryn explains the tooth fairy

Cousin Kathryn dropped by after her follow-up from her jaw operation and spent some time with Vincent. Now that she is an expert on dental and jaw surgery she explained to Vincent the concept of the tooth fairy. The smart little guy knew that mom just had her wisdom teeth removed so they quickly went under his pillow. Someone was shocked when the dentist explained that the going rate is $10 a tooth but Vincent jumped for joy. Dad was lucky to get a dime way back when.

Vincent is 13 months old.

Today Vincent turned 13 months old. He is growing fast and becoming more independent by the day. As it was a warm 6C he was able to enjoy being outside.

Who wants to open the Lego

Candidate #1

Candidate #2

Candidate #3

Vincent recieved his first Lego from Trish, Heather and Greg. I am sure he will enjoy this for years to come.

Fyi: The cameraman had to open it. This does seem to be a reoccuring theme on this blog.

Vincent meets Uncle Greg

Vincent got to know Uncle Greg on the weekend and he had a great time. As seen in the third photo he was a little confused by Uncle Gregs explanation of the Primary, Secondary, Rayleigh and Love siesmic waves associated with earthquakes. It sure didn't sound like the calculus dads been telling him about.

Vincents big truck book

Cousin Heather, Aunt Trish and Uncle Greg gave Vincent a big truck book and here he is opening it up and trying to read the caption. Vincent is going to love trucks. A thank you from Vincent for the book, his first lego, and the great clothes.

Visit of Trish, Greg and Heather

Aunt Trish, Uncle Greg and Cousin Heather dropped by on the weekend. It was great to see them all. Vincent loved playing with everyone and he is constantly throwing lego around the house. Dad says thanks

Olympic Influence

Vincent and I watched the women win two medals in bobsledding and Vincent said whoa that looks like fun. He immediately started practicing his entry and driving positions for the one man bobsled. All he needs to do now is get the darn thing moving. Not enough ice around here this winter to practice.

Vincent wants to go fishing.

Vincent wants to go fishing but he still has a way to go before he can reach the top of the aquarium. We will soon be able to take him down to the lake for his first casting lesson.

Laughing or Crying

Vincent bumped into something and yelled out for some attention. It was just a small bump as Vincent couldn't decide whether he should laugh or cry about his situation. Perhaps the sight of the camera made him realise it was his time to perform.

Vincent's Babysitter Encounter

Mom and Dad went off to see Avatar leaving Vincent with the babysitters. Vincent and the babysitters faced numerous challenges not least of which was the abscence of baby bottles which were inconveniently located in the kitchen at home. The babysitters ran out twice to buy new ones but Vincent would not come around to them as they were not his usual brand. Mom had to return before he felt comfortable enough to enjoy a good feed. Vincent told us he was well entertained and did not really miss us at all. Thanks to the fine babysitting crew (Joe, Tay, Tim, Andrew, Karen, Bob, Maggie and Teddy) in Pickering and the movie was great.
