ADVENTURES IN FEEDING

Karlos did not like solids and refused to eat anything but mum's milk. We decided we would start introducing some solids to his diet and give him some freedom to try them himself. As you can see it was highly succesful. The food succesfully made it everywhere but his stomach. Hmm. The joys of parenthood.

FIRST HAIRCUT

I BEGGED MY WIFE TO LET MY BABY KEEP HIS CURLS. WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT. SHE WOULD NOT TOUCH HIS HAIR UNTIL HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY, BUT AS IT GOT CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE DATE I GOT MORE NERVOUS. MY BABY, THE GOLDEN LOCKS. PLEASE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WAS TWO WEEKS AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY. I WENT TO WORK THINKING ALL WAS WELL AND THAT MY WIFE HAD FORGOTTEN OUR AGREEMENT. AT FIVE O'CLOCK I WALKED OUT AND SUPRISINGLY FOUND MY FAMILY WAITING IN THE CAR FOR ME. AS I WALKED TOWARDS THE CAR I SAW A LITTLE BOY. WHO IS THAT I THOUGHT.


MY BABY. WHERE HAVE YOU GONE. INSTEAD THERE SAT A LITTLE BOY, NO CURLS BUT STILL THAT BIG HUGE SMILE AND THOSE BIG BLUE EYES. OH WELL I SIGHED, THE CURLS ARE GONE BUT MY LITTLE BOY WILL ALWAYS BE MY BABY.
WE ARRIVED HOME AND OUT OF THE BLUE HE STUCK HIS TONGUE OUT AT ME. I GUESS HE WAS LETTING ME KNOW THAT I CAN'T STOP HIM FROM GROWING UP. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARLOS. MY LITTLE BOY. WE LOVE YOU.

We are back

After a long time away from Blogspot we are back. Karlos turned 1 and started to walk. The boys are growing in leaps and bounds and have been to the zoo, the beach and had family from the US visit them several times. We have moved house, had colds, conjuctivitis the flu. Can't beileve that time has flown so fast. Look forward to posting more in the future..

School Fair

Remeber the days at the old school yard? I do now. It was the yearly Artoberfest at the boys school. A day full of fun, art and activities that cost money. All in all it was fun and the boys enjoyed every minute of it. We are proud of Moronae. He painted a great Picasso that now hangs in the kitchen. Great Job. Looking forward to the next school fair.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Last week we celebrated our 1st Anniversary. Alot has happened in one year and life has been exciting and a great adventure. Khali has put up with all my crazy habits and me almost burning the house down and destroying her wok. She has put up with 9 months of discomfort and now dirty nappies and having to deal with now 4 men in the house. Thanks for all you do. Happy Anniversary Khali. Love You.

WINTER DOWN UNDER

Our last six weeks have been interesting ones. We all got bronchitis and between the five of us I think we have managed to use New Zealands supply of tissues several times over. The baby spent a few days in the hospital to watch his breathing, I think maybe we all should have been in there at the same time. Well after several doses of antibiotics we have all come right now. Baby Karlos is now 7 weeks old and a whopping 14 pounds. Wow. He sure loves his milk. He is a great baby, always happy and loves getting kisses from his little brothers and smiling for his parents. I am now almost a pro at changing dirty diapers, which seem to get filled up when I take them off to change them making life more interesting for me. I have not been squirted in the face yet but am getting myself prepared for the day. Well as I write this a tropical storm has just hit us and our lawn is starting to turn into a lake so I better go check on things and make sure our boat will get us out of the house if it keeps raining. Exciting times in Paradise.

GOING TO WORK

Woke up the other morning and got ready for work but I could not find my work socks anywhere so I decided to wear white socks instead. Te Wairua gave me a kiss goodbye and then with a cheeky smile pulled up his pants and said look at my socks dad. I just had to have a chuckle. So funny.
