6 months already

Our son was born six months ago. Where does the time go? We never really believed people when they said that times flies when you have a child! But they were right!

Mum and Lucas

Dad and Lucas

Sitting Up on His Own

New Experiences

Last weekend, we made the trek down the highway to Albany, for our sisters' birthday. And during this time Lucas got to experience a number of "firsts".

On the Saturday we went fishing. This isnt technically the first time Lucas has gone fishing, but last time he slept the entire time and it was dark, so we couldnt see much. Anyway, Lucas got to hold his first fishing rod, watch dad, grandma and aunty tash catch fish and play with mum and aunty jess in the back of the car.


The other "first" experience was going out for dinner and sitting in the highchair. Unexpectedly he was great :) He was quite content to sit by himself, play with toys and throw them on the ground. He also enjoyed his own dinner (pureed pears), but got impatient when daddy didnt feed him fast enough, or bring the spoon close enough. And, as per usual, Lucas charmed the ladies at the table next to us :) They thought he was just adorable.


All in all, Lucas was pretty well behaved over the weekend, but as usual, he was grumpy on Monday when he realised it was just him and mum at home, and he wouldnt be getting lots of cuddles from grandma, aunty tash and aunty jess.

Lastly, HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY (Aunty) Jess. Hope you had a great day with family and friends :)

We've joined the craze

So, we have decided to join the craze of blogging! Hopefully we remember to update regularly.

Just to refresh your memories: we have been married for 1 year and 9 months, and we have a son, Lucas, who is almost 6 months old. Chris is currently working as a cabinet maker and Tamala is a stay at home mum. Lucas is a very cute, (not so) little boy who keeps us on our toes. He loves to smile, can roll from tummy to back, is able to sit on his own for a short period of time and is also in the process of cutting his first tooth. Oh and he has started solids and he loves his baths :)
