Ouch!

Nicholas had his first round of immunisation needles (2) and some almost-okay tasting oral vaccine today. This is a far cuter (and quieter) photo than what he looked like after the shots! Poor little thing... but he recovered well and quickly.

Jez and Sarah come to town

Sarah and Jez winged it down from Mackay for a few days R&R, pram shopping and to get some practice in with (I mean meet!) Nicholas. In this shot, Jez has it all under control as I introduce Sarah to Lure's apple upside down cake! Dan is also off-screen savouring his ever-present short black.

Sarah also got in some practice although, at 27 weeks, her bump was making positioning awkward!

Look at my muscles!

This little piggy went to market

Today we ventured to the West End markets with Tash and Heidi and, via me, Nicholas spent the rest of today enjoying cherry and custard danish, to-die-for vanilla slice, cardoman spiced hot chocolate, homemade sugarcane lime lemonade and a taste of various feta and olive related delights. As well as an huge array of fruit'n'veg, the markets now have a seemingly unending variety of amazing foods to enjoy. A great day was had by all...and we'll be going back!

Talkin' about 4 generations

This week, my father (Pa) and his partner Deb (Nanna Deb... but just to the kids, Jean!) visited for a few days from Victoria to meet Nicholas. With my grandparents holidaying up the coast, we captured this photo of our four generations together. Nicholas turned on the charm and had a waiting list of people keen to have a hold (as much a treat for me as him!) A great few days has been had by all... Teresa

Growing before our eyes...

Six week check-up this week... Nicholas is now 58.5cm (up from 51cm at birth - more than 1cm/wk, he'd better slow down soon!) and 4.9kg. Good to see he's making good use of all that trotters-in-the-trough time!

Casting a quizzical eye over all things Bike

The weekend included a leisurely breakfast at Lure (I got to have another slice of their to-die-for upside down apple cake with double cream... leaving a polite 20 minutes after finishing breakfast...I love breastfeeding!). Dan and Nicholas enjoyed catching up on the latest from the World of Bikes - Nicholas is not buying the puff piece on Lance... Teresa

Joining the Paddington coffee set

Last Friday was a very cruisy day, starting with a long coffee (and delicious cake) with Craig at Lure, in Paddington. Nicholas slept for over an hour in Craig's arms... a PB in Baby Holding for him, well done! Home for a nap and...

Beer and a curry.. a great night out

... then it was off to the Albion for a beer and, because Nicholas was behaving himself so well (read, still sleeping), we headed over to Sitar for our first Post Baby Indian. Tim and Jen joined us for this delicious meal and a cuddle (of Nicholas, too!).
