Visitors Part 2

One of these pictures is not like the others, one of these pictures just doesn't belong.
Can you spot the differences???
 Grandpa Ron did this same dress up stunt with glasses on my brother Arlo I hear.  I don't plan on needing specs when I get older though Grandpa.

 Grandma and Grandpa Brown with Arlo and Otis.

Never enough kisses.

Grandparents, grand time

 Arlo and Otis with all of their grandparents.

 Otis is pretty cool, but splashpads are lots more fun, and refreshing.

 You can't catch me!

Proud Big Brother

 Arlo is getting used to life being different.  One thing that took no time for him to get used to was the idea of having a baby brother.  He regularly asks 'where's my baby?'  and refers to Otis as "My baby Otis".  When he is crying Arlo offers up advice such as "maybe he has an owie" or will tell us that he is hungry or has to poop.

 Arlo can never give enough kisses to Otis.  He always wants to hold him and snuggle.

What a proud big brother.

Bathtime Otis!

 Whaddaya doing to me?

 Arlo enjoyed Otis' first bath much more than he did himself.  He found it hard to beleive that he used to bath in the kitchen sink too.

Cute baby pieces!

Visitors Part One

 Arlo and Otis had their first visit with Grandma and Grandpa Kalynuk on the Wednesday after Otis was born.  Arlo loved having grandparents around to play with and give him attention, and the grandparents really enjoyed getting to meet Otis Ray.

Ahhhh....Enjoying some downtime!

Oh Brother!!!

Started to think delivery at home at about ten thirty, hit the hospital by midnight, three hours of 'back labour' and baby Otis Ray Kalynuk entered the world.



He was delivered 'face up' instead of down, which made the labour more painful, but it took about twenty minutes of pushing, max, to bring the 'big' little guy into the world.

A whopper!

Taking time to reflect on it all.

Cover me up for cryin out loud!

Awwww!

He is a fuzzy guy, like his brother was.

The shirt says it allLoving mama.

"My Baby Otis"

Happy Birthday Arlo

 Arlo has been watching his daddy put together this all week long, and celebrated his second birthday today by bringing his sand toys over to break in his brand new sand box.  As you can see, he loved it.

 To help celebrate his special day, Arlo's friend Lucy came by, with her baby brother Harry, and parents John and Natasha, for a play in the backyard, some dinner in the backyard, and to enjoy his first serious encounter with a thunderstorm.  (he did not enjoy that at all really)

 This wasn't today, it was a few days back, but it is now one of Arlo's favourite pasttimes.  Nothing cools you off on a summer day like a drink from the sprinkler!

A little family time on the birthday.

Happy Easter

Spring is here, and it is time to try our hand at bike riding. Here Arlo is checking out his new wheels, wearing his Easter bike helmet. The tricycle is a classic three wheeler that his mamma got from the basement of her school. Great for cruisin the hood on a sunny afternoon.

Arlo loves the bike path across from his house. He especially loves running up and down the little hills that line the path, picking up the seeds and sticks that are there. His dad is thinking of getting him an orange vest and seeing if the city will pay for his work.

Hippity Hoppity Easter fun!

Happy Easter to everyone!
