Some highlights from the past few days

I've been trying to keep things going in chronological order, but I've been a few days behind and now I'm going to catch up with one post. This past week was a busy one, and these photos will show some of the highlights. As we have already seen, Sunday was the Toronto Santa Claus Parade; Monday we had a great visit with Kelly and Jason. Tuesday was the usual: Storytime at the public library in the morning; Bouncing Back with Baby exercise class in the afternoon. Wednesday we had a visit from Aunt Katrina, and we attended an info session at U of T with her - it was in the evening, and Henry loved it. Thursday was our music class in the morning, and a new class in the afternoon - Laptime and Lullabies at Mabel's Fables bookstore. Friday was my birthday and Henry marked the day by waking up early to present me with a locket. In the afternoon we went to our mom's group to visit with some friends, and then enjoyed a beautiful mild afternoon with a slow walk home and some shopping along the way. Saturday we went to Home Depot to start planning our basement renovation, and in the afternoon Henry and I attended a Sign and Sing workshop where we learned some sign language for infants (check out www.weehands.com).
And today we attended the children's holiday party at my office. It was our first time attending, and we have to admit they do a fabulous job. There was Santa (our first visit with Santa! and a much shorter line than we will find at the malls); face painting; a "Critter Show" that was basically a travelling zoo with several animals (including a rabbit, a parrot, a snake, mice and various bugs); assorted craft activities; the Cat in the Hat; a room for toddlers; and lots of food and drink for everyone. We have a busy week ahead too - tomorrow we're going to the Early Social Development Lab at U of T ( http://tamago.oise.utoronto.ca/research/esdl/) where Henry will participate in a study about infant preferences for faces (male or female; adult or infant - I have no idea how they will determine what his preferences are), and we have a class where we'll learn how to make our own baby food. We're exhausted!

Henry is sure turning into a handsome little fellow - and he is getting his looks from his dad! You look flushed in the Santa picture, you weren't into the wine were you??
