As Ian says, “Amelia stretches like a big person.” Here’s a picture of her doing her usual stretching exercises. She seems to be discovering her limbs more and more each day, and stretching is part of it. She also likes to swing her arms around and around as though she is swimming, and kicks her [...]

More Amelia pics. She now weighs 9.5 pounds!
Amelia is growing and changing each day. Now she will regularly smile and “talk” to you through cute little cooing noises. She also will turn her head to look for her daddy if she hears his voice nearby. She loves to stare into your eyes for long periods of time. She is also getting used [...]
So after waiting a good 4 hours to see the doctor on Friday, I found out I’m still 1 cm dialated and maybe 25 percent effaced. What does that mean? Baby may come any time now, or she may decide to stick it out a little longer. Am I getting impatient? Not yet. I’m enjoying [...]
spoiled rotten
Posted in Books, baby, friends & family on Aug 29th, 2008
This week I am being spoiled with three baby showers. Well, I guess the baby is also being spoiled, since the gifts are for her! Last night the ultimate ladies got together for a casual BBQ hangout session. As usual, there was plenty of story-telling and laughter. Everyone gave me/us one of their favourite books [...]
The NYT ran an article today about the future of reading and how the web is affecting/changing how kids read. I can’t say I agree with it, but it is interesting.
“Few who believe in the potential of the Web deny the value of books. But they argue that it is unrealistic to expect all children [...]
I don’t know how I missed this “media” news on Friday (shows how out of the mediabistro loop I am) but apparently the infamous Judith Regan of ReganBooks (yes, she has her own imprint at HC) got fired. This is the woman who was going to pay for the OJ book, If I did it, [...]
Training early in the day is supposed to be good for athletes that are “in shape.” I imagine that for some (read: most) people, the thought of running around so early may not be that appealing. And although I do think of myself as a “morning” person, running at 6:45 am does seem to be [...]
in the giving spirit
Posted in Books, friends & family on Nov 24th, 2006
This year, at my brother’s request, our family is giving up the tradition of over-gifting, and instead will donate all the money we would normally spend on gifts for each other to a charity/charities. This’ll definitely make Christmas morning less hectic chez les Fischers, and I think we’ll all appreciate cutting back on the excesses. [...]
habs, als and other sports adventures
Posted in Books, Training, friends & family, musings on Nov 20th, 2006
It was a packed sports weekend. First we saw the Habs thrash the Thrashers on Sat night. Good game, Huet played great (if Souray hadn’t scored on his own net, Huet would have had a shut-out) and the Atlanta goalie had some really nice saves too. Plus they honoured Serge Savard by retiring #18 to [...]
