Someone's regressing a little.....

With the new addition, Daniel has been a great helper but he is also still wanting to be the baby. Try as he might, unfortunately he's a bit big for the baby things.......

A new baby sister, introducing Katherine Anne Newton

We all welcomed Katherine (Kate) Anne Newton to the world on 29 October 2008. She was 7lbs 7oz or 3.3kgs, 53cm long and 36 cm head. We are all doing well. Daniel is quite taken with "baby Kate" or "tiny" as he likes to call her. Now we are home there's a bit of adjusting but so far so good. Luckily for Mummy Kate is still very sleepy and hasn't really woken up yet and figured she's here for a while yet!

Early Birthday and Christmas for Daniel

Daniel has been lucky. Grandma and Grand-dad came from Townsville to help look after him while I went to hospital. Because we won't see them at christmas or for his birthday he received some early presents. He finally go this very own 'tar or guitar and a massive Tonka truck for the back yard. He really likes to play the guitar for us in the evenings.

Special Visitors at Playgroup

Our Playgroup was lucky enough to have a visit from the local fire brigade. Daniel really enjoyed being able to inspect the truck.

October News

Daniel and I have been busy. Daniel and I met our friends at the Bay a few weeks ago, Daniel unfortunately face planted into the sand, it looks a lot like he's sporting a three day growth but it's just sand. He's also quite taken with drawing and cooking. The next update will probably include photos with his new sister.........

The weekend

The level of activity hasn't decreased, maybe it's the warmer weather? Daniel likes to flex his muscles, climb the pot plant in the back yard and pull all the couch cushions off the couch and chill out with Curious George...... Let's hope it's out of his system in 5 weeks time!

Sorry it's been a while......

It's been a while since I have updated the blog. We have all had the flu and I have been busy working two jobs. I've finished up one now and will finish the second in the next two weeks. Daniel, as always, has been BUSY! Here are a few recent photos.......

Joseph and Daniel enjoying blue berry muffins, Daniel with his 'hat' on (the face he's making is his smiling face), and Daniel on his new bed with sunglasses on (? he thought it was a fun thing to do).

A Morning at Lone Pine

On Wednesay we visited Lone Pine. This was Daniel's first encounter with animals other than the cat or the dog. He loved it. He really liked the lorikeets and was amazed when the white cockatoo said hello to him. At the moment when he smiles he likes to squeeze up his eyes......
