It is summertime. We are having lots of fun outside, in fields, in splashpads, and playgrounds.

I am happy to report that Hunting Midnight, Volume 1, is complete at 9 novellas and almost a quarter million words

I don’t think you’ve physically grown much since our last check in, but your development continues to amaze us.

Your language and understanding of the world is so much more advanced these days.

You now have full conversations with us, telling us about your day, things you want… the list goes on.

My oh my you just keep growing up. You have become very independent, wanting to do most things yourself.

Snagging a log today because it was a good day of walking. Some appointments plus kiddo duties meant I was on my feet a lot. Close to 10k but not quite. Also it’s been awhile since I shared any step fuel.

When I remember to log a day, then I’m more likely to do it again the next day haha. This was a standard issue day with nothing too special going on, except for a bunch of housework that had me on my feet.

A beautiful, clear autumn day. We had family visit, so much time was spent walking the neighborhood and enjoying the sights and sounds. We had a lovely patio lunch, and fantastic late afternoon stroll

You’re so much more aware of the world around you and all the fun things to play with and discover.

It’s only been six weeks or so since I last wrote to you but both Mom and I feel like you have grown up a lot.

Took the little one to a field of sunflowers today. There were so many bees and pollinators—if you were quiet, the gentle hum could be heard. Very cool! I don’t know if she absorbed the beauty of it all

Very busy weekend and past couple of days, with loads of walking, visiting, parenting. It’s been very hot here in Toronto and we’re looking forward to the coming week of milder weather. I was lucky enough

Random log as I remember that I should be logging, haha. Twas a HOT day with lots of walking (afternoon jaunt was not exactly pleasant), but daddy-duty requires it. Spent some quality time with the wee

It's a busy time, we are all tired, but we are having lots of fun along the way.

I’ve been bad at logging steps for a while, life with a kiddo has this way of shifting priorities, ya know? But today was special. I was out and about quite a bit during a pretty intense heatwave, with

We’ve officially decided that you are indeed a toddler. You did something funny that babies do not do.

It was a very active Easter weekend, chasing small children around on bikes, on foot, in pools, etc. There was laughter, tears, dancing, messes, hiccups, scrapes, burps, the works! Back to normal-ish life

You are almost a toddler. I don’t think we can still call you a baby either (although we still do sometimes).

Twas a Daddy-Daughter day, which translates into a many a walk on a slow Sunday. It was bright and crisp, and we did a few neighborhood circuits. Walking in the field, swinging on some swings. Pretty idyllic
