Sean's First Birthday

A year ago today my son was born at 4:44 am. You wouldn't believe it if I told you that this morning during the night, Sean woke up at 3:50 am, so I being too tired, I brought him into my bed. (I'm a suck - I know). At 4:44 am - he actually turned over and whacked me in the face, the time he was born a year ago. How ironic! I kissed him on the forehead, wished him happy birthday, and we went back to sleep.

A couple of hours old.

A day old.

Two Days old.

A week old.

A month old.

Two months old.

Three months old.

Four months old.

Five months old.

Six months old.

Seven months old.

Eight months old.

Nine months old.

Ten months old.

Eleven months old.
On his first birthday:

Blowing out the candle.

Enjoying his birthday cake.

Really enjoying his birthday cake.


Sharing his birthday cake with mommy.

The clean up.

Some decorations in our house.


Today was a great day. This afternoon we did some shopping with my mother and we ran some errands. I also signed Sean up for Aqua-Strollers (which I think is more for me) in the water on Wednesdays. So we'll be running (literally) from his music class at the Y to the pool (about 8 streets away or so - not that bad) and we have 45 minutes in between each to get our butts into the pool. I think we can do it. If it's really not possible, we have until before the 3rd class to cancel, and all we'll lose is the money per class we attended, plus a 20$ fee. But I think 45 minutes is do-able - it's not that far, and I totally can be wearing my bathing suit under my clothes before I leave the house, to make things easier. It doesn't take that long to change Sean into his bathing suit, it's the changing AFTER getting out of the water that is a killer.
Today was a nice day, and we had our immediate family over for dinner to celebrate Sean's 1st birthday. I think he had a good time (got some great gifts and is already having fun with them!). He got a play tent (we definitely need a larger house now!), a sports center, an xylophone, a toy car, and a pair of PJ's. Our house is filling up with kid stuff, I'm afraid for his first birthday party!

I got an email today that two of my photos that are on FLICKR, with my permission, will go on to a selection phase for a website schmap.com - for their newsletter of Montreal attractions, etc. I have two images that were selected, that I took at the Montreal Biodome last summer. (We didn't go this past year, Sean's too young). The two images selected are this one and this one. I will keep you posted if they make it to the final production of this website.
