In May we had Henry's 12 month photos taken. We started at home, then walked to Lake Ontario and didn't let the rain spoil our fun. Henry finished off the photo session with a fantastic cake smashing performance. Enjoy!

Dog Days of Summer
July has been a very busy month at "The Kaasa Inn". Mark's Mom, Rosemary (aka Grandma K), came for a week and helped us chase Henry around. We finally got to show her around Toronto without snow! Henry took her for walks around the neighbourhood, picnics at the lake and strolled up and down Queen Street. Rosemary's long time friend, Patty, also came for a few days to join the fun. Next we had a visit from Aimee and Jeff, who drove all the way from Southwest Michigan to see Henry and discover Toronto. We went up the CN Tower, strolled around the beach, shopped in Yorkville and celebrated Aim's birthday!
Henry and Grandma K at the splash pad...getting soaked by the sprayers. Grandma was a trooper getting right in the middle of the jets.
From the CN Tower you can see all of downtown (a mere 351 metres or 1,151 ft below) and on a very clear day straight across Lake Ontario.
Tippy toed to see all of the passers by making their way down our street to the beach.
Henry and Jake have forged a true friendship. Jake doesn't seem to care that Henry uses him as a jungle gym, walker and form of entertainment. Henry returns the favour by sharing scraps from each meal, giving Jake extra dog food in between meals and making sure that we go to the park twice a day.

Summer Fun with Friends
We are taking full advantage of the warm summer days. Henry has been busy with friends around Toronto and in the U.S.A. Here are a few highlights from the past few weeks...neighbourhood splash pad, Toronto Zoo, Centre Island and a very fun visit with the Hurdle family in SW Michigan.
The Toronto Islands are just a short ferry ride from downtown and have beaches, kiddie pools, an amusement park and bike paths. We took Auntie Liza and Nana out to explore the islands.
Henry is definitely a water baby. Warm or cold, inside or outside, he just loves being in the water. This is our neighbourhood splash pad and park - we visit at least once a day.
Alexander, Henry and Cole hanging out (and chewing stuff) at Kew Park while the Mommies stretch after a tough StrollerFit class.
Alexander and Henry at the Toronto Zoo. We took a break from the animals for a picnic lunch and the boys took advantage of the grassy area to crawl, walk and roll around. Click here to see Henry's first pony ride!
Our visit with the Hurdle's was fun-filled. Henry went for his first carousel ride, played at the Silver Beach park (on Lake Michigan) and ran around all day trying to keep up with Vaughn, Cohen and Courtney.
