In the previous post, I talked about how Oliver had learned to throw his cups and other miscellaneous toys over the side of the play yard to the floor below. Well, along with those pictures…
In this post, there are three sets of images, only because there are only a couple of photos for each day. On day two hundred and thirty-one, I took a couple of quick portraits of Oliver at home…
Every year, Dana’s Mom’s side of the family gets together for a BBQ in the summer and a Christmas party in the winter. This year was Oliver’s first Family Picnic. He got to meet some of his Aunts, Uncles and Cousins…
Canada Day! Celebrations happen across the country. They usually start with some sort of gathering, continuing with a BBQ and then some dessert, and they end with fireworks…
Back before Oliver was born, at one of the baby shower’s that was so graciously thrown for us, we were given a “Swedish Baby Spa” Bath Tub. Basically, this tub looks like a salad bowl! No joke!
Father’s Day. A joyous occasion where we get together to celebrate being a Dad. This year was my first with Oliver and I had a great day! We celebrated by having our families over for a BBQ in our new backyard…
On day one hundred and ninety-six, Oliver looked absolutely adorable eating his cereal. Where we feed him in our dining room, there are two large windows that had beautiful, diffuse light…

We’ve got some more video for you! In this post, we first three firsts for Oliver: Oliver’s first time in his highchair; Oliver’s first time eating Applesauce; and Oliver’s first time having some veggies…

In addition to taking lots and lots of photos of Oliver, we’ve also used our wonderful little Flip Ultra HD camcorder to record some of Oliver’s finer moments on video…
This day was so beautiful, weather-wise, we decided to take a picnic lunch to the Heart Lake Conservation Area. Ok, so we bought subs from Subway and took them and ate them…
Day 170 saw the family take a walk to downtown Brampton to visit Gage Park. We took the camera along just in case there were any good moments to capture throughout the day. Little did we know…
Once again, Oliver and I had the morning to ourselves. Dana was off getting her hair done at Salon Soho in Sherway Gardens (see James, tell them Dana sent you Hahaha!) …
Oliver’s first Easter meant that he got some extra special gifts. As you can see from the photos below, Oliver got a wide range of gifts from his Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles…
On Good Friday, we spent the late morning/early afternoon at Ross and Sharon Ruprecht’s, enjoying a wonderful Easter Brunch. All the family was there, happy as could be not to be at school…
More candid photos! Don’t you just love them? This morning we spent some time in Oliver’s room, playing on the floor and just snapping the camera when we wanted. Towards the end…
During the early months of 2009, I had a photo shoot for a family friend of ours. Roman Citta is just a little younger than Oliver and his parents wanted to get some shots of him at three months…
So what happens when Mum leaves early on a Saturday morning to get her hair cut? Well, Daddy and Son will play, that’s what happens! On this particular morning, I had another vision of what to do with Oliver…
Valentine’s Day. A special day in every couples’ heart. Oliver was two and a half months old at that point and Dana and I hadn’t been out by ourselves since before he was born. So, in an attempt to get a little alone time…
More fun pictures of Oliver! Woo hoo! This time around, we snapped some pictures of Oliver in his Baby Bjorn, looking all cool (and a little stunned!!) in his knitted hoodie…
Guess what? Its more pictures of our little guy! Like you would ever get tired of that! During this four day period, we took some pictures of Oliver celebrating his first days of 2009…
Three words: Oliver’s First Christmas! What a blast we had! We thought the easiest thing to do would be to host both the Connell and the Ruprecht families at our house for Christmas Day dinner.
Dana, Oliver and I took some time one morning when the sun was streaming in through all the windows in the house to take some natural light photos. I was going for a very heavenly, angelic look to these photos…
Having two weeks off from work really turned out well for us when Oliver was born. It gave me a chance to take the burden off of Dana and allow her to do what she needed to do desperately….recover.
Day three saw us say goodbye to our new friends at Headwaters Hospital and take Oliver home for the first time. To think, in just 72 hours of Dana having major surgery, we were leaving the hospital and going home….
