First birthday & Baptism Party

It's finally all over! Victor's baptism and first birthday was a success. Lots of stress and lots of planning.
Timing wasn't the best, since I just got laid off, but little V deserved the best!

We had Victor baptized at the Armenian Church of Ottawa. The Godfather, plays an exceptionally important role and even wears traditionnal attire.

Here are some pictures of his baptism and party.

PartyPail.com awarded this post for "Best Decoration". How fun! My first award as a blogger! All the hard work sure paid off.

Baby proofing the house

Hello mommas!

I know it's been a while, but V is growing up too fast and I can't keep up!

I thought I could just keep saying "No Victor, don't touch…", but let's face it, that doesn't last too long.
So the wine rack is now stored in the entrance closet and the larger furniture protects the danger zones.

Tonight, I begged my husband to lock up the cabinet doors, because cooking in the kitchen has become a nightmare! Victor is getting into everything!! He particularly likes to play "Stacking" with my pyrex Tupperware…not a safe idea.

Have a look at my mini blog post on baby proofing. Successful or not? you be the judge!

Bye for now,
