Benjamin Button.

Here he is, our very own Benjamin Button...at times, he could pass for an 85 year old man, exhausted after a good meal.


Speaking of good meals, we (as in he, I hope!) are definitely chunking up around here! I can hardly believe how much he has filed out already. So much, that bath time takes a little longer to get into all those folds.

Is it gas, or a smile? We like to think that he is just so happy to be with us, that he can't help but smiling!

Having just celebrated Thanksgiving, it would be impossible not to feel a touch emotional when trying to wrap my head around how much there is to be thankful for around here on Clarence Road. We have a loving family, amazing friends, a beautiful home, an awesomly awesome marriage that gets even more awesome every day, and most importantly, the most perfect little man that knows nothing but LOVE. He has already taught me so much about what is really important in life as it is not whether or not the house is clean, errands are run or laundry is folded but rather that I take time to enjoy simply being this little guys mama. Thank you buddy, for getting me to slow down and savour every moment - even the ones at 4am. Love you to the moon.

  1. We love your little Benjamin Button too! You are right, the important things are the times you spend together. Took me a while to learn that - glad you have found that truth earlier. Those smiles are just beginning. Enjoy all the special moments together. (Even the crying ones will be precious additions to your memory bank)
