Baby & Toddler

I am sure you are all getting sick of seeing pictures of Addison by now, but I don't care..she is just so damned photogenic. So there are more here, and here.

She has her own incredible personality, which is mostly good, although of course there are a few things that don't jive well, like throwing a fit when she doesn't get her way. The naughty spot is getting some usage at the moment. One of the things she has started to do, for the last couple of months, and I think she learned this one from me, is what she calls her "special kiss". She takes your face in her hands and plants one on you!

Baby CJ is progressing well, we have another scan next week, so I will post the pics of that. Addison seems to be OK with the idea so far. She knows his name and where he is. Lorraine has been talking about singing to him and so now Addison pulls up Lorraine's shirt to let him hear. After a few minutes she pulls it back down as he is "getting cold"

Lorraine is very excited, as despite the baby growing, she doesn't seem to be putting on any weight. I think she is hoping the baby is eating her arse (her words not mine).

Addison and Lorraine have been spending a lot of time at the local pool, right at the end of the road. It has slides for all ages, different pool areas for the age groups and activities, and also a sand play area and "water park" with fountains and the like. Last night was a special late night, $6 for two, until 8pm, so we all went along for some family time. There is a slide that is toddler size and AJ loves it, but hadn't been comfortable getting up there by herself, meaning that when it was just the two of them, she couldn't really use it. Last night we worked up to it and now she will climb the stairs and get on the slide herself..a giant leap for toddlerkind.

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

Image
I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Image
Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
