Bigger, Faster, Stronger

Here is Aro first arriving home from the hospital in his favourite outfit with squirrels on it.

As you can see there was plenty of room for him in it back then.

Here he is today in the same outfit and hat that came down over his eyes when we put it on him at the hospital. He looks like he needs some gold chains on his chest the way it is down into a v-neck on him now. Looks like a wrestling outfit now. Makes sense though since he has grown three or four inches, and doubled in weight. Three months old yesterday, and growing strong!

Camping at Tremblant

Arlo loved his first experience camping so much that we decided to take another crack at it and headed off to Tremblant National Park for a few relaxing days. The nights got down to 4 celsius, which was chilly for mom and dad, but Arlo loved it. He sure does sleep well in the fresh air.

Arlo loved relaxing around the campfire with his Mama. He gave a whole new meaning to the word lounge.

Check out these fun guys (fungii, get it?)

He'll have to get a lot bigger if he wants a future as a lumberjack.

Arlo's first crush

Arlo had some special visitors last night for dinner. Kathy, Rory, and Iris came to share some stories from their trip to Italy, and to catch up on all of the summer's adventures. We had a nice relaxing visit with them, and they loved getting a chance to spend some time getting to know Arlo. He was really laid back for the visit, and enjoyed hanging with each of them, but it was clear that he was smitten with Iris from the start. He spent the whole evening eyeing her from wherever he was in the room. I am not sure if he had a better time when she was holding him, or if he liked sitting in Rory's hands so he could coo and smile at Iris as she made faces for him. I think he might have his first crush. I guess this means that Iris had better play it cool for her last year in Ray's class, as she wouldn't want to break little Arlo's heart and have it effect her report card....

Hangin with Grandma K

Arlo has been enjoying a visit with his grandparents this week, who are in the area camping in their new trailer. As you can see by these pics he wasn't sure what to make out of Grandma K, but he liked hangin with her.

Arlo's First Camping Trip

Arlo spent three nights this past week sleeping under the stars at Bon Echo Provincial Park. It was his first ever camping trip, and he loved it thoroughly. He slept like a log one night, going to bed at about 11 and not stirring until almost seven the next morning. That fresh air sure did knock him out! He was happy as a clam looking up at all the trees, going for nature walks, hanging at the campfire, paddling in the water at the beach each day, and checking out the famous cliffs at the park. He especially enjoyed spending time with his pals Hayden, Daisy and Linden, while his folks enjoyed hanging with thier folks. Everyone was impressed with how relaxed Arlo was. He is a future outdoorsman that is for sure.

Mom and Dad's Anniversary

Arlo helped his mom and dad celebrate their first anniversary (August 8th) by going along on a picnic to the Governor General's residence where he watched his very first cricket match. Arlo loves hanging outdoors. Mom and Dad took him out for dinner at a local brew pub (Dad's newly discovered favorite), and they finished off the day drinking the bottle of champagne they brought back from their honeymoon in France (it was Italian sparkling wine actually, but that is a whole othere story).

Stylin'

Arlo really rocks this plaid outfit his friend Stacey gave him. Look out ladies!

Arlo's found his favourite spot on the sofa.
