Japanese



Jack doesn't care much for the Japanese outfits I bought today but William thinks he looks cute. Now to dress Stu as Iron Chef....

My Baby

Zen Parenting

Jack and William were weighed at the clinic today and they are both perfect on the 50th percentile for height and weight. William has almost doubled his birth weight and is 6.4kgs and Jack is 15.5. One day they will stand much taller than their dear old Mum!

We had a lovely quiet afternoon today after I introduced Jack to the beads. He made snakes and necklaces for the whole family. He threaded all 176 beads twice. It was so PEACEFUL! William had a great sleep and I just sat there with a cuppa and chatted to Jack about the sizes and colours of the beads for over an hour. Beautiful!

3 Months

YAY! William is officially 3 months old. Amazingly I am still trying to figure him out and just when I think I've got it he changes it all again. He is only waking once a night but is up for the day at 6 and Jack is up at 6.30 since daylight savings. On the up side they are both having a good afternoon nap to make up for it and usually at the same time.



Since William is the second baby he has learnt to sleep on the go. He can fall asleep on my shoulder anywhere and anytime by sucking on his arm. He can sleep through any noise when he is in the Fisher Price swing and instead of harping on about learning to sleep and 'routine, routine' I have decided to just go with it and he (and Jack too) seems much happier for it . He is still feeding every 2-3 hours during the day but usually only takes 10-15 minutes.


Jack adores William and when he woke up from his nap at Rose's house he asked if he could go home, "I'm missing my William."


The witching hour is usually 7-8pm but even when he is most grumpy he still smiles in between grumbles.


Happy 3 months William!

Darling Harbour Mini Break

Many little luxuries were enjoyed this weekend in Darling Harbour like the King Size bed. The train ride and the ferries.


The face painting.



The chocolate fudge cake at the Guylian Cafe and the buffet breakfast at the Crowne Plaza.

Dinner at the BBQ King.

Wildlife World and the Merry Go Round in the Harbour.

William enjoyed his first trip away and is so exhausted from all of the fun!

William meets his Sydney Family




WINNER!





Jack came runner up in the easter bonnet parade at Pialligo today. We had a hugely egg-citing time!
