Chilling with the family [UPDATED]

Picnic down at the Cotter

Yummy... sausage sanga!

Finding touch with a bomb of a kick.

"Crouch....Touch....Pause....Engage!"

Look at the concentration!

Visit to Canberra Zoo

For Josiah's first big outing we took the family to the National Zoo and Aquarium... unfortunately he slept through the whole thing but Caleb had a great time looking at the animals.

"What are you looking at Grandma?" Caleb and mum hanging out with the llama's.

Caleb got to pet a Dingo on the day.

Josiah made a brief appearance during lunch before resting up in the pram for the rest of the afternoon.

Josiah's first week

Caleb has had great fun getting to know his new baby brother. He gets really excited whenever he comes through to the hospital and gives little Josiah hugs and cuddles and kisses.

These first few days the new little guy has slept loads and loads. He definately likes being rugged up and cuddled. Every so often we're treated to Josiah opening up his eyes and looking up at us with his dark little eyes.

Josiah is a great little time-waster. You can spend hours just staring at him as he wriggles and restson your lap. Some of the little man's facial expressions are classic.

Yesterday we gave Jos his first bath. Caleb didn't enjoy his first bath at all so we were a bit nervous...but he loved it. not a squeak out of him during the bath time; only a bit of a cry when we pulled him out and towelled him off. I think we have a water baby on our hands!

Still in scrubs and still smiling ear to ear! Grandma meeting her second grandson for the first time.

Caleb's 4th birthday

"Mum.....Dad....is it my birthday today?" Caleb had snuck into our bed a few minutes earlier and was waiting for the chance to ask us. "Yes it is...." "WOOHOO!" Straight from there Caleb ran down the hallway to Grandma's room were we brought in his pressies and he started ripping them open one by one.
Caleb had a big pile of pressies to get through and the smile on his face was permanently beaming.

His big present from Grandma was a cricket set and Caleb was keen to give it a test run at the park as soon as he could. So, after a quick breakfast we headed down to Glebe Park.

The picture of concentration as Caleb did his best to blast the ball out of the park. There were a couple of freshies as he swung and missed but he soon got his eye in and hit the ball all over.

He still needs to work on keeping his eye on the ball....

Just as determined with the ball in hand, Caleb enjoyed bowling at full pace to try get grandma, mum and dad out.

To round off his love for the game, Caleb did a great Boucher impersonation and played wicket keeper. All he needs to do is learn some sledging now!

Caleb's big pressie from us was a scooter and during the drinks break in the cricket, he zoomed around the park on his new wheels.

Later in the afternoon, Caleb had his cousins, Uncle Simon, Pat, V and Levi over for some birthday cake and some fun around the house. A full day of birthday fun!
