Foot print

Thank you Uncle Tom, Aunty Anita, Cousins Eddie, Seb and Roo for my great "Little Prints" kit.





Today Mummy helped me make an impression of my foot prints.










It was a bit stickier than we expected,










but I thought it was great fun!

6 weeks old

David is 6 weeks old today!
He's learnt so much in these 6 weeks. He now smiles and gurgles with us.
He loves looking around, especially at his family, his elephants, the Britannicas, and the pelmets.
He's put on lots of weight and is quite a chubby bunny.
He's still a good sleeper and has just done 2 nights running of 8 hour sleeps! (hopefully this is the new pattern here to stay!)

His voice


David has discovered his voice!
He gets great pleasure from 'chatting' with Mum, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa.
Or even with his favourite elephant mobile.

This is just a mini-sample...

Little Bomber

On Australia Day Grandpa took David (and his parents) to Windy Hill to watch the Bombers training session.










David had a great time.



Dad explained the training to him.



And he listened to coach Matthew Knights promise good things for 2009.

David's 1 month party

On Sunday we had a party at Seren's house to celebrate one month of David's life.Here little David is with another David (who was the one who had the idea for the party and who provided the wonderful lunch. Thank you David!)

David had a wonderful time with his family and friends.

The champagne toast in David's honour.
Here David is being held by Elvira, Aunt Seren's friend, who is on her way to becoming a midwife. She'll be great!

Finally caught on camera!


It's not a big smile but it's the first I've caught on video.
He seems to know that's what I wanted because he turns to smile at the camera rather than at me!
Or perhaps he's not smiling at the camera but at YOU!

Maternal and Child Health visit

We've just come back from our 4 week visit to the Maternal and Child Health Care Centre. It's only a 10 minute walk from here but we nearly got blown away today - there's such a strong northerly wind blowing!
David enjoyed his visit this time. And I was very proud of him...
...look at that weight gain! The nurse praised me but all credit must go to David. He has known how to feed since the moment he was born!
He fell asleep on the way home and is still sleeping in the stroller, so I was able to share this good news with you all immediately.
