Little tongue.

You have learned how to stick your little tongue out mate- it's a bit more mess than usual when you eat but very cute! 

I only drink frizzante.

Your coordination skills are great mate, you've leaned how to pull a bottle from a rack.

Now just to teach you how to select a particular bottle, pull a cork and grab some glasses! 

Soon enough we will drink a glass together mate. Enjoy your sippy cup for as long as you can! X dad. 

Whirlwind tour, and dogless.

While half of adelaide barracked on the Power (was not meant to be:( and the other half barracked for the other team (Hawthorn- to the grand final) we had a whirlwind tour of grannies and great grannies. 

We never thought that we would feel like we are ripping you away from your grandparents, and was proven wrong tonight. We tried, our best, to have a whistlestop tour of the north east: rostrevor for the Murphys, paradise for the other Murphys, and then Klemzif for the tromps. 

All very short visits, but all the more lovely. Anne, Geo and Susie, as well as Chris and Trudy turned their attention from the big game to JM while he showed off his new crawling skills, and Opa, who you meet for the first time each time we visit, tested your soccer skills. 

You seem to be pretty good with a ball mate, tracking, chasing, reaching with one arm and Opa showed that he still had a few tricks of his own left too. 

Back home to a house without Wilma (Auntie Magda and Uncle Steph's) and mum just asked to let the dog in. 

Now it really feels like we are flying out tomorrow.  Now to pack the bags and finish a few work emails... 

All sick ahead of our trip...

But great to see your smile back mate! 

Mum commented that this is a usual setup for your feeding time. Wilma is having a whinge too. She looks good with her hair cut. 

Don't usually get to see this part of your day, a nice upside to a nasty cold and stuck in bed. 

Not sure if it is only because I'm viewing everything through the lense of baggage allowance, but gee you have grown to be big. 

You had better start walking soon mate as mum will not be able to carry you around much longer! 

X dad. 

Who doesn't love a nudey baby

Fun in the sun

Earlier today, before the emergency visit(!), enjoying the grass daddy did.

They let us keep you... Just.

You've have more doctors trips in the last couple of days than you have in your entire life. It all came to a head with an emergency visit tonight (welcome to the emergency club, son!). 

Nurse was very nice. Pediatrician told us the complete opposite of the Doctors advice. She was not happy with the advice we received. A very smart doctor. 

Ice cream at Maccas drive through made up for any feelings of inadequacy or guilt.
