My in laws have been in town helping out, which has been great- I have a lot of follow up medical appointments, and I was able to schedule many of them while they were here which helped a lot. Plus they are getting in lots of baby cuddles!

James is getting big quite quickly, and these two knits were the ones that fit him the soonest- he’s about 6 weeks in these photos:

That sweet sweater was knit by Guy’s aunt Linda, who is an avid knitter. It is the Puerperium cardigan, for those looking for the design. And what luck- it was the exact same colour as these beautiful knitted moccasins that Alana from Never Not Knitting made for him! It makes for a very cute outfit.

 Three cheers for an accidental knitted set! How sweet are those little booties? And the bear buttons on his cardi? I love them both.

We recently took James to the Art Gallery of Ontario, one of my favourite places. There were lots of comfy benches everywhere so I could sit down as much as I needed, and James slept through some amazing works of art, including the beautiful JW Turner exhibit:

Then James also slept through the Tom Thompson exhibit, showcasing his two most famous works, The Jack Pine and The West Wind:

And through the modern art collection as well:

He did that thing that babies do- slept like a little angel until we sat down in the cafe for a snack… then he woke up as soon as a plate was in front of me. Anyone else find babies always wake up when you are about to eat?
