On the "Big Boy" Swing

Alex and Duncan have been taking advantage of the last of the summer evenings and stopping off at the park on the way home from daycare. Duncan had told me how Alex could go on the "big swing" but I didn't believe him. Last weekend we went and Alex showed me how clever he is.

Coffee anyone?

Alex loves helping us make coffee. He knows exactly what to do.

Brother or Sister?

We had a great Ultrasound yesterday and found out the sex of our new baby.

I assume that Dad wants another surprise, so I won't reveal the details here.... just in case he looks. Send me an email if you want to know.

The video below is from the DVD we got of the ultrasound. The tech was trying to get a picture of the hand and face together but it just wasn't happening.

14 Month check-up

This morning Alex had his 14 month check-up. He now weighs 10.6kg and is 77cm tall. It's pretty much the Dutch average ... not bad seeing as he's not Dutch!

There was no other big news or interesting facts to report .... we go back in 4 months.

Eating Pasta

Yummy! I'm trying to be more organised and cook our dinner as soon as I get home so that Alex can eat at the same time as us (and the same food). He loved this pasta and ... because it stayed on the fork he did a great job eating it too.

Party Central!

We know far too many children born in August and September. This is what our weekends have been like for the last couple of months.
