Hello Poppa...

Here are some more pictures as promised.. We went down south to Peppermint Grove Beach this week with Aunty Kirstin who has come over for a visit from New Zealand.. It was nice to get away and try to relax.. Zachary is doing well and at 2 weeks had put on nearly .8kg which our community nurse says is very good to see as he should have been back to birth weight..

Will keep adding more photo's whenever we can...

Two weeks and counting

Good lord parenting is hard work. Zachary is trying so very hard to be a good boy, but unfortunately the little man is having tummy troubles...we have the health nurse coming out tommorow morning to chat with us, weigh him and check out our abode, which should be interesting as I have quite a few questions to ask. Mum has been a bevy of information and generally recieves a daily call asking for advice. I tells ya being a new parent makes you realise just how much your own parents did. I dont think I'll be doing this 5 times I can give you the tip. Twice maybe but definately not five times...Mum is just plain crazy...thankyou for doing what you did I love my siblings...but you're crazy woman!
So other news of my little man...well he has already figured out how to roll over..yes thats right folks we have a very advanced gent here. Babies arent meant to figure this out until they are about three months old but Zachary has figured it out in just two weeks...very clever me thinks! He has also figured out how to lift his head up for about 10 seconds...strong tacker is he! Generally he is a good sleeper...in the day...he wakes at about 1145pm and doesnt settle until 530am....eats alot as well. I think he must get this either from his Dad or his Uncle Lukey....endless pit...So I think once we get his sleeping sorted we should be okay. I just keep saying that hes a little party animal, but in truth Ill be rather pleased when he figures out that night time is for sleeping as Im a bit of a zombie at the moment.
Zachary is to be baptised on Sunday 30th March with his cousin Kai, who is 7 weeks older that he. We are having the service in the Munja chapel (Davids work) with the local Father...I believe his name is Father Gavin, Im yet to meet him, but am sure everthing wil go fine.
I could continue to write about how I could gaze at him forever, and how absolutely perfect he is, and how I still can't quite understand how this little person grew inside me...and why Ive been blessed with his presence...but I wont bore you with that...he just gets cuter every time I look at him. We are taking more photos tommorow so will post them then. Until then, Im off to get a little shut eye while hes quiet. All our love, Shell and Dave
