Gummy no more

Our little fatso cut his first tooth, presumably over the weekend while his rother was in hospital. And for those who wish to know, he IS a little fatso weighing at just short of 9 kg. Despite the teething, it seems The Captain was in a splendid mood and up to his usual giggling fits. Good on ya kid!

Our sick little boy

Was in surgery for an abscess in the throat at 2am Saturday morning. Poor little fellow. Has a puppy in his foot and isn't able to walk at all; mostly too trashed to run around anyway. Westmead Children's hospital is fantastic (as far as a public hospital goes in particular).

Scout camp

Here we are at the region gathering. It was wet. It was muddy. It was fun though. Who would have guess Abbey has a fascination with fire! She did the mud course, but chickened out of abseiling. he boys stayed with my folks, and of was re-establishing a routine a lot of fun. The pain after camp causes one to wonder if the break away for the dirty little monsters was worth it :(

Teething, talking and flying

I find it curious that Mr 1.5 and Little Miss 7.5 are both sprouting molars at the same time. Teething is a lot of fun isn't it folks?

I also find it curious that B1 and B2 are both talking -- of sorts. B1 was heard saying "open" and "over there", and I heard quite a clear "out". B2 is, of course, just making baby sounds.

Ans most curious of all is B2's new arm flapping trick. Looks as if he's trying to fly. Very cute really.
