Sunday Night Dinner

on sunday night, we celebrated dad's 71st birthday and also introduced stellan to many of our nearest and dearest in toronto.

with the vast choice of laps to sit on and arms to hold him, he not only charmed all the guests but stayed amused enough for his mum to get through a 3 hour plus, 10 course chinese dinner!

Aunt Lo & Company

Laura (center, holding Stellan) moved back to Canada at the end of last year from Scotland so this was the first time that I have seen her in 5 years and met her gorgeous boys, Thomas and Harry.
Eager to meet Stellan as well, her sister Holly came along with her daughter Paige.

Truly Canadian Experience

Stellan enjoyed his first truly Canadian experience this weekend at the home of his Uncles Rowley and Blake, who hosted a serious barbeque complete with 1" thick steaks, sweet corn and an added surf 'n turf touch - mussels!

Air France 352

Stellan made his third transatlantic flight on Friday (11/7) from Paris to Toronto. With mum, dad and big brother to amuse him, he was just as well behaved as the previous crossings.

Getting a little tighter in the airplane bassinet.

You know those cold, hard as hell bread rolls that they serve on the airlines? Well, at least one little passenger enjoys knawing on the crust. Check out the crumbs around his face and shirt :-)
(what cannot be seen here are the crumbs that fell into the folds of his neck!!!)

VIP Guest

Before leaving Paris last week, Stellan got to spend some time with his Auntie Joce, who was in town for business from Tokyo.

She came especially on this particular evening to be photographed with this little punum so we could blog them as she has been following funkypastry and single-neuron avidly from Japan.

check out those cheeks!

Brunch & Baguettes

pascal gets a lot of laughs out of our boy with his funny faces and mischievous nursery rhymes.

Just looking terribly cute and naughty!
