Mr Happy!

Christian:

My Grandad has been really lax with posting… but he has been veeeery busy!

Here’s a big smile for all my loyal visitors; and a big hi to Josie… and Brian

Kill Fang!

Christian:

Everybody better watch out now, especially Charles… I got two teeth today! It won’t be long now and I’ll have T-bones on the menu… hey Mum

Aah, so you don’t believe me… just you wait; I’ll have photos!!

Photos

Charles:

Boy, we had fun this arvo… Grandma wanted some family photos for her birthday present ’cause it’s coming up in five days!

What a blast… this is me trying to give Michael’s (the photographer’s) horsey a drink

He didn’t want my drink, so I’ll just lay back here, like Lord Muck, and swallow it all myself

I had ta have a little chat with Michael… he needs a few tips on horsies and, seein’ as I’ve got one myself (well actually my brother and I have one) I’m just the bloke ta wise him up!

Michael’s a legend when it come ta photography though… he even got Christian to smile!

We sprung Mum when she wasn’t looking… she bribed Christian with a dummy

After photos we went for tea; Grandma was reeal happy with the photos… and I think Christian was too.

And I was certainly happy ta go for tea… I got ta play in my favorite arcade; I reckon they built these columns ’specially for me!

Uncle Morgwn!

Christian:

Guess what… Uncle Morgwn came back from Sydney last night I’ve never seen him before, and he hadn’t seen me either… except on here! Tonight we all went to Grandma and Grandpa’s and had a great old time.

Here’s a big cuddle for Uncle Morgwn.

You know who was trying to make his escape… but Grandpa’s onto him

Aw Mum, I can’t smile that wide… my mouth’s too little!

Bath time

Christian:

I can’t believe it; last post I was two months old… now I’m three months old! Where does the time go? Oh well, doesn’t seem to matter how old I get, I can’t seem to escape bath time. Mum and Grandma reckon I love baths, but it looks like Charles is enjoying this a lot more than me!

At least I’m nice and clean now…

Looks like someone else needs a wash though

Guess what?

Christian:

Seems like only yesterday that I was at the hospital being born, and here I am two months old!

The nurse came and checked me over and I’ve grown this much already

My vital statistics are 57.2 cm long, head 39.7 cm and weighing in at 5.77 kilograms!! Bye… Mum says I have to have a sleep :-)

Fathers’ Day

Charles:

Happy Fathers’ Day to Dad and Grandpa from me, Christian and Dad

I thought I’d give everyone a ride on my bike, but Grandma and Gucci wouldn’t fit.

Check out my loader Grandpa!

Be afraid… be veeery afraid

Forty day blessing

Christian:

In the Greek Orthodox church it is customary for new born babies, that’s me, to go with their mothers for their first visit to the church forty days after their birth. Mum, Dad, me and Charles, plus Grandma and Grandpa went off to see Father Joel today.

Father Joel first said some prayers for me at the door

And then he took me and Mum up into the Sanctuary of the church, for a special blessing to welcome her back to the church and to give thanks for my safe arrival.

Naturally Charles didn’t want to miss out on the praying, so him and Dad had their own prayers outside! I think Dad was praying that Charles would sit still for just a minute

Parap Markets

Charles:

Mum told me I gotta stop bein’ “such a little b…” to my brother, so I though I’d do the right thing and take him to Parap Markets… Seein’ as how he’s so little, and he hasn’t been before… oh, an’ there’s lotsa good stuff for people (like say me) ta eat

Ya can’t go past Bobby’s satays… can ya Grandpa

Trouble is… not long and they’re all gone!!

Ya think Christian would notice if I got stuck into his bottle?

Heh, heh… waddya reckon I’m doin’ Dad

Happy Birthday Grandpa :-)

Christian:

Happy Birthday Grandpa from me and Charles My night was nice and peaceful… first a feed

And then a sleep.

Unlike someone else closely related to me… aka Mr Mischief

Tell you what though… he sure can ea

Grandpa had lots of visitors, even a few from out of town… like Aunty Mel (full time job keeping my brother out of mischief)

Cheryl, on the right, plus Glennis and Geoff to nurse me… check out all those glasses (mostly empty too)

And, of course, I wasn’t allow to go home until Grandma had a nurse for a while… Good night Grandma xx
