This video goes back a while.  But it’s time to clear out the old.  Callum gets a jumparoo, he’s tentative at first, but within a couple of tries he gets the hang of it.

Last night Tiffany and I caught a bit of the local news. Much of the news focused on the cold snap we are currently experiencing that is expected to get worse over the weekend. The always helpful reporters gave us tips for keeping warm. The let us know where we can find warm-up shelters that have been opened for homeless and those whose home heating can’t cope with the frigid temps. We were warned of the dangers of using BBQ grills and ovens to heat our homes. They reported that hardware stores are seeing a run on space heaters and pipe insulation. Reporters conducted person-on-the-street interviews “how are you preparing for the cold.

Then came the weather forecast for the weekend. “Brrr!” the meteorologist exclaimed,”it’s cold out there.” He gave us the chilling forecast for the weekend: Highs in the mid-50’s with overnight temperatures plummeting to mid-40’s. That’s right, the temperature is dropping to 46 degrees overnight! Get a parka and a ski mask!

I love living in this city. On the rare occasion that the temperature departs from the typical 60 - 85 degree range, the heat wave or cold snap becomes a major news event.

Incidentally next friday is a snow day at Callum’s day care. An “ice company” is going to fill the outdoor play area with snow. Fun!

Oh, how he laughs…

Callum has become quite the expert at eating. Here are some videos of his favorite and least favorite veggies. Also, we got him a new feeding chair, which he loves!

Callum got his first teeth in september (lower central incisors).  He got number 3 & 4 in October (upper central incisors).  And now he’s working on his 5th and 6th (upper lateral incisors).

This video is several clips from September where I ask Callum to show his teeth.  It’s actually quite ridiculous how much I asked to see his teeth.  The very end features a more recent clip of Callum with four teeth.
