Happy New Year! (Parents Special)

Les Popoviches had themselves their last photo shoot of the year this afternoon... sniff!













As the hours of photo taking went by, we all got a little bit hungry (some more than others!)


So juicy!


So tender!


HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!
BONNE ANNÉE TATA, PAPA ET MAMAN!

FIST vs. SHEEP

Behhhh...

James just LOVES to put things in his mouth, all things, but it would seem that no matter what new and exciting objects we give to him to explore, the clear winner, tried and true, is always his fist!

So here it is, FIST vs. SHEEP!

Weeee!

Oh joy!

We received our very first video camera from Santavich this Christmas... seems like we're going to have loads of fun capturing little snippets of Popoviches moments. We shot this one this morning, bright and early.

4 months old... that can't be right?

Well, December was a busy month! 1 poop per day instead of 7, 2 night feedings instead of 4, Christmas and, oh yes, James Wolf turning 4 months old! The Les Popoviches tradition has it that every month, on the 22nd (or around that time because we always forget!!!!), we take a photo of James Wolf in the same position, on the same chair, with the same stuffed animal.


Let's have a look back:

1 month -------2 months-------- 3 months



Drum roll please... (drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

4 whole months old!
(James was very squirmy this month for our little shoot)



As always, other notable entries:

"Where am I? Who are you?"


"Hey you, dad, yes you, come here..."


"It's in my contract dad, the eyelashes have got to be touched up for every photo...oh yes, and next time, don't forget the fan, I'm finally growing in some new hair."



"Get me my lawyer, Mr. Boubou and shut down this shoot!"

Beethoven, start looking for a new job...

Don't all parents think that their child is a prodigy? Well, it would seem that our little James Wolf really is a baby genius. Here he is putting the final touches on his most recent Opus.

James actually loves being sung to and seems to genuinely like music.


That's all wrong pa'... I said legato not staccato, jeez! (Drool, sigh, drool again)

Breakfast

Rise and shine, it's breakfast time! Cereal, blueberries and soymilk... yum! Mr. Baby can't wait to eat something other than, well, boobies.



Seriously mom, can't you make me some of this?

Mr. Baby's 1st Christmas ever! Well, actually, it's technically his second

2008 is one of those years that is going to difficult to surpass, especially for Mr. Baby; it is, after all, the year in which he was born AND the first time he gets to experience a little thing called Christmas. Last year around this time, he was the size of a dried cranberry, maybe even smaller, but this year, oh boy, Mr. Baby had the time of his life.



A few days before Christmas...

Here he is with his Pa'
practicing his camera poses and sucking in his cheeks




and finally, the BIG DAY!

Honestly, Christmas Eve confused Mr. Baby more than anything. Here he is at the Popovich headquarters in NDG (James Wolf's Bruzzese grandparents migrated to Florida again this year for the winter, and boy oh boy did he ever miss them)


What's going on?


Whaaa?


Another photo?


My face is starting to hurt


Enough with the photos!



Can I eat that? Maybe just a little suckle?



Jeez, I'm stuffed! Burp!

The next day was spent at the Hoffmans, but we were way too tired and stuffed to take any photos!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Arctic Baby is out there!

The last few days here in Montreal have been cold, icy and snowy... and everyone knows that that is a recipe for disaster: whenever those three meteorological events happen simultaneously, Arctic Baby awakens from his deep slumber.

Montreal, yesterday evening... brrr-tiful!



Just so you know, this is what Arctic Baby looked like
the last time he was spotted.




Just spotted. Uh oh! It sure looks like Arctic Baby.



"Roaaaarrr! I'm getting hungry!"



A snack....



Double Whopper with cheese



He might be coming to YOUR neck of the woods once he finished his milkshake.

Lock your Doors!
Beware of Arctic Baby!

Wrapped around his tiny finger... to the power of infinity, and beyond!

James Wolf already knows how to push the magical mommy button, I'm in trouble!

FUSS Master Flex


I just LOVE this outfiT... he was going to wear the above onsie which reads FRANKEN-FISH to a Halloween party Michelle and Oscar invited us to (the Cesar costume was not going to work). Well, we didn't end up attending because the previous night, instead of sleeping, he worked as a DJ... ever heard of FUSS Master Flex? He is very popular in Europe...

Heroes in a half shell...

A day in the life of...

The last 3 months have been a real roller-coaster of psychedelic emotions.

It seems like just yesterday, we brought James Wolf home from the hospital. He couldn't yet fuss (fuss, fuss, fuss, fuss AND fuss) hold up his head, focus his eyes on anything, smile, giggle, coo, play, get angry, scream out of frustration, go on play-dates with Oscar and Sabine, sleep in his crib, fall asleep on his own, pull at my hair, yank tufts of my hair out, make drool-bubbles, hide cheese in his neck-folds, poop once a day instead of once every hour, squeal, squirm, blast off into space, run and administer Wolfville AND Wolf Island, escape from his crib and go on wacky adventures (with a little help from his friends)... he has become a pretty amazing little man! And all of these changes took place over just a few months.



Here is a typical day in the life of James Wolf:

1-Putting all kinds of things in his mouth, over and over again, like Sophie the giraffe, his Squishy toy, his rattle... I think that Boubou our cat is next! Run if you can little man, James Wolf is quite the little drool-factory!










2-
Reading, well, kind of...






3-
Staring at his friends... and I mean staring staring.









4-
Hang out on Wolf Island, of which he is also the mayor (and he's just been reelected!!!)












5-
Play with his toys, make new friends... and stare (and stare, and stare)











6-
FUSSING!
