Legs In Action

Familiar sounds indicate that Adam woke up from his brief nap. Dad recently took on the challenge of staying in Adam's kicking zone. He got to physically experience Adam's mighty kicks as his eyeglass flung across the bed. Mummy decided to decline the challenge, observing was more than enough.

A trip to the zoo

Taking full advantage of the beautiful weather on the long weekend, Adam and his family made a trip to the Metro Toronto Zoo... just in time to check out this year's dinosaur exhibit! Although the life size mechanical dinosaur models looked and sounded very threatening, Adam was not in the least bit intimidated.

With no prior zoological experience, Adam acquainted himself with a representative cross section of fauna from the continents of Africa, America and Eurasia. Among those arousing his curiosity were elephants, tigers, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, crocodiles, and even a boa constrictor.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the unfamiliar sights and sounds of the zoo, and tired from a long day outside, Adam fell asleep, no doubt dreaming about his new animal friends.

Adam's New Uncle

Adam witnessed his aunt Martha and Ihor's wedding ceremony. Adam showed tremendous self discipline with a talent in removing rose petals from arms length. A combination of Adam's cuteness and handsome looks dressed in a suit caught the attention of everyone.

Father's Day Weekend

Part 1: A visit to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum
With some basic understanding of the flight communications tower, a rehearsal in the Fleet 21K single engine plane and a bit of sensory skill development on the jet wings, Adam patrolled the skies with Dad in a CF-100 fighter plane.












Part 2: Art work and Japanese Cuisine
Adam presented his #1 Daddy with a crumpled slightly bitten envelope and a footprint signature work of art. After much efforts, he spent the afternoon taste testing sashimi at a baby friendly Japanese Cuisine.

Adam gets an infant massage





Led by Francois, a Certified Infant Massage Instructor and her professional trainers Mummy recieved a 3-day hands on infant massage training.

Adam took the lead with a back massage ensuring that smiles were recieved by nearby trainers. He moved onto his chest, stomach and legs then decided to nap for the remaining time. Adam came out relaxed and content. As for Mummy, the infant massage contributed to the continued amazement of Adam's nonverbal cues. Most importantly it was a positive experience for both. Thanks to Adam and Francois' excellent team.

Adam's ability to reject food



A few days ago we started Adam on rice cereal. Throughout his feeds Adam gave us some head turns, a tightly closed mouth and forced food back out. So much for the excitement on starting solids. Although Mummy's milk remains to be Adam's favorite, we are hoping for better luck next time.
