Learnt

Never brag that your child has never done a number 3!
Within the day you will have had to do 2 complete outfit changes due to uncontainable poop.
And within the week there will have been 3 of them.
I have been schooled.

War

So I have a great baby who sleeps mostly really well - BUT last night I was awake from midnight to 4.30am because of a stupid little black mouse!

I was all prepared to let him live the first time I saw him, about a week ago. I was sitting in bed feeding Jack at 4.30am & I saw a tissue move across the floor - "how cute" I thought. And all would have been fine except that last night the rotten thing was doing laps of the bedroom with his size 10 boots on!

It was so loud that at first I thought someone was tapping on the window! So of course I freaked myself out & spent ages trying to get a look at him because with all the noise I started to think that maybe it wasn't the same mouse but maybe a rat!! And I could hear it near Jack's cot. I eventually got a look & it was the same little mouse. So panic subsided - but I can't afford to lose that much sleep again so tonight the little bugger better beware cause the traps are being set!!

Oh & Darren better be prepared for removal of carcass duty - cause you know I ain't doing that!

Jabbed

As per Uncle Mikes request - here is a blog entry.

Today Jack got jabbed, in both legs then had liquid shoved in his gob - and except for the bit when the needle went in, he smiled all the way through it. Such a good kid.

I have no complaints, he is eating, sleeping & playing just like he should. He looks like a giant but is actually average height for his age & only a little bit over weight wise. He does like a good meal!

We are currently house sitting for the Ellenders & enjoying foxtel iq & their lovely big house. And the convenience of being so close to the folks, maybe they can stay in the USA & we can house sit forever!

Abbey comes to visit Jack & the jumpjump (trampoline) every chance she gets.

Darren just spent the weekend attending the V8's in Bathurst - corporate all the way! He loved it although Ford lost. He came home with a Ford car, a Ford jumpsuit, a Ford T'shirt & a Ford hoodie for Jack, ranging from size 00 to size 4!! Nothing for mummy though!

So most mornings Jack & I sleep in till we feel like getting up, we read 3 story books - he has a great attention span, we sing songs while we get dressed. He then plays on his gym mat & we practice rolling over. I really hope he stays as happy as he is!

Night times are also pretty easy - he goes to bed when I do & usually wakes only once in the night anywhere from 1.30am to 3am for a feed.

We just graduated from the bassinet to the portacot because he was too big, and even that didn't phase him. Great kid.

We are eagerly awaiting visitors from Tassie & M.A.Y. from Malaysia - Hurry UP!!!!!

Photo's next time! Foxtel is calling me!
