Hard life, lots to learn

Big Brother again

2011-09-20T13:51:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I've been slack with my updates recently so I thought that I should let you all know that I'm a big brother again because mummy had another little boy on Thursday 15 September. So far he doesn't do much, just sleeps, eats and cries but I love tp play with him and give him kisses. He will be starting his own blog soon and when he gets it I'll let you all know. Other than that I don't have any big news, life is pretty much the same here, home, child-care, shops, church and visits to nana and grandad's is how I spend my days. Anyway I have to sign off as it's my nap time, I'll talk again soon,
Moses

Melbourne

2011-07-09T09:24:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Just thought I'd put up a quuick post to let you all know that I recently went to melbourne for a holiday with mummy and daddy. I had fun because we went on a long train ride first and I had a seat all to myself, I decided that I wasn't going to sit with mummy, daddy and baby brther so I sat across the aisle from them. I slept most of the morning because mummy and daddy let me stay up the night before thinking it would be easier if I slept on the train. When we got to Melbourne it was dark and mummy and daddy had to find the hotel in the dark, they didn't do too badly, daddy had the suitases and mummy pushe me and Jada in the pram. After we got settled into the hotel room we went to get some tea then did a bit of shopping to get food for breakfast. After that we went for a short walk deciding what to do while we were there. Then it was back to the hotel room where Jada and I went to sleep (as did mummy because she stayed up all the night before we went away) and daddy said he watched a bit of tv then went to bed. The only problem with the hotel room is that it was very small and right acrss from the hotel was a conference room so we kept the curtains shut at all times. While in Melbourne I had a day where I was allowed to walk because mummy and daddy wanted to go into some shops that we couldn't get the pram into so I got very tired that day, usually I'm pushed if we are going a long distance. We went to some markets, a magic store, a store filled with Dr Who and Star Trek/Wars gear and on our secnd last day we found a large indoor shopping mall so we spent a bit of time there. I wasn't as good on the plane on the way home, I kept getting told off as I wanted to stand on the seats and not sit with my seat belt on. The only time I kept it on was when the light told me it had to be on, I don't think I like flying because I can't move around as I want to and my ears hurt because I decided to be naughty and not have the lollipop mummy offered me.
Other things I've done is go to Port Macquarie again to see daddy's cousin get married and then have daddy's 40th birthday party a week later, it was a very busy time.
Mummy tells me that in 11 weeks I'm going to be a big brother again, this time I want a baby sister (well mummy and daddy do anyway I don't really care). Other than that I don't think there is anything more to tell you, so I'll sign off for now,
Moses

Colin Buchanan

2010-10-10T22:19:00.003+10:30

Hiya,
I got to have a very special day on thursday I went to my very first concert. It was a Colin Buchanan concert and I had lots of fun. He sang some songs and played some games and I even got to meet him but by then I was tired so I was grumpy and wouldn't look at the camera or smile. I also went to IKEA to get a late lunch, it was 4pm. We didn't stay there long though because we had to go to a circus. There wasn't much open at the circus, mummy was going to take us again on Friday but she worked all night Thursday night so was really tired and we didn't go out. I also haven't seen much of daddy recently because he's been down at the church sealing floors so I really enjoyed my day out with him and mummy.
I can't think of anything else exciting recently, we're going to Queensland in December so mummy and daddy are saving hard for that. I'll talk to you when I have something to say, in the meantinme enjoy these photos,
Moses

Big days

2010-09-15T20:46:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I know that I've been slack again. I've done a lot sonce my last post. Firstly I got to go to The Royal Adelaide Show with mummy, daddy and Jada. This year though we didn't get the train in, we drove there and parked close by. I also didn't get to see any pig racing or diving and didn't get to go on any rides because it was too wet and rainy. I did get to see Bananas in Pyjamas though and still had fun having lots of photos taken, I got to ride a Police Bike and be an Ambulance Driver (Jada was my assistant). I also got to ride a panda and had lots of photos pretending to be fruit. It was a fun day, some other highlights include getting my tractor license, getting a showbag and having my photo taken with Bob the Builder. My showbag was a Speed Racer bag and it has a backpack in it, a drink bottle, blow-up hammer, a wallet and a few other things. It was good value, it only cost $10, one of the best bargains of the day.
Another thing I've done recently is go to Big Rocking Horse for a friends birthday, we had fun running around together in the animal place, I'd go somewhere and he'd follow me then he'd go somewhere and I'd follow him. Daddy didn't let me climb it this time though. Mummy couldn't go with us because she was feeling sick so her and Jada had to stay home.
Lastly I got to go out to tea on Sunday night for Grandad's birthday. We went to a restaurant and I got fish and chippies but I didn't want my fish I only ate my chips, I didn't even want cake, but that's because it was past my bedime.
I think that's all I've done, I went shopping with mummy and nana today but I didn't have an option there, I had to go. It was ok thought I got some new pyjamas and Jada got some new clothes.
Well it's well past my bedtime so I'm gonna go now, I'll get mummy or daddy to put up some more photos soon,
Talk again later,
Moses

Long time

2010-06-14T12:08:00.002+09:30

Well, I know that it has been a long time since I last blogged so I figured I might as well catch you up on what's been happening to me.
Firstly I had a birthday and now I'm a big 2-year old. I got lots of good presents, including clothes from most people. I got a mickey mouse suit off Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel, mickey mouse pyjamas, pencils and a colouring in book off Auntie Karen Uncle Russell and cousin Emily, a pair of green pants, t-shirt and checkered jacket off nana and grandad, a teddy off my baby brother, a book from Auntie Juline and a mickey mouse quilt towels and flannels from mummy and daddy, and a fropper from Grandma. I think that is all.
Two weeks ago my house got invaded by daddy's family. There were suddenly 4 more people in the house, but it wasn't too bad because they cuddled my baby brotehr if he started to cry so it was ok and I still got to help with the washing. We did go out a lot more, one day we were out all day, firstly we went to a place called Harbout Town and I got some new clothes. Then we went to another place called IKEA and I got a train set. IKEA were being silly and telling people that if they ate in their restaurant they got that money off buying something in the shop so my train set was cheap. Then another day I went into the city on the bus and I didn't even cry. In the city I got some number blocks which are fun to pull apart, mummy is trying to teach me the numbers but I just like them to play with. The day they left I got sickies. I had a vomit then I stopped eating that day and mummy and daddy noticed that I had a bit of a cough ans was sleeping more and feeling hot so they took me to the doctor the following week who said that I have a chest infection and put me on some yummy medicine. I've been on the medicine for a little while and I still have my cough and noises in my lung so the doctor thinks I have something called asthma and I not have to use a puffer. I wasn't too sure about it the first time but I'm getting used to it now. The bad thing is thought that I've made mummy sick and baby Jada has a bit of a cough and runny nose so I think I've mase him sick as well. Mummy has a bad cough and can't go to work in case she gives it to the people there and her asthma is being bad again (she only gets it when she's sick). The doctor who came to the house to visit Jada said that he's not too sick.
Well, I can't think of much more to say, today after church I get to go out to luch for Uncle Daniel's birthday, it will be good I get to see all the family, I haven't seen them much because of my sickies (don't want to make nana sick she gets a bad cough otherwise). I should go and try to sleep, hope you like the picture of me and my brother.
Talk to you soon and let you know when I get lots better,
Moses

Hospital visit

2010-05-04T21:11:00.002+09:30

Well as promised here is the post of what happened during my hospital visit. Mummy took me to the hospital and we got to see the doctor after maybe one hour. She had a look at the outside and inside of my ear with a special light in case an animal had bitten me, but she couldn't see any marks. Then after asking mummy lots of questions she said that it could be an infection or an allergic reaction (both things mummy had already worked out, she is a nurse). So I was given some medicine to take and then to see her again in 1/2 hour. After the 1/2 hour was up my ear was still big and red and hot, but it wasn't bothering me because it doesn't hurt. So then she decided that she was going to take some blood to check for something called infection. I was given some special cream put on the back of my hands ond on the inside of my elbows then I got a big clear bandaid put on them. Mummy then had to move the car so mummy, Jada and myself went out to move the car and when we got back into the hospital we went straight back to the doctor because by then I couldn't feel my hands or the inside of my elbows so it was time to get blood taken from me. THe doctor couldn't get any blood though because like mummy I don't have something called good veins so after 1/2hour and lots of pricks she gave up and went to call a kiddies doctor. But after she spoke to the kiddies doctor they decided not to worry and just put me on antibiotics. So we got to come home with my ear still lots big and hot and red and I now have to have this liquid two times a day until it's all gone. However if my ear doesn't get better or starts to other parts of my face start to get big or red or hot then I have to go back because they will have to find a vein to give my medicine straight into my blood. Something excting happened when I was at the hospital. At one point two policemen walked in with a person with special bracelets on. They were holding his hands together, it can't have been very comfortable. I've never seen anything like that before. I've got to go to bed now because I'm very tired but I just finished tea because we had lots of friends around tonight I'll keep you updated on my big ear.
Talk to you soon,
Moses

2010-05-04T15:05:00.002+09:30

Just a quick post. When I got home today daddy noticed that my left ear was verry big it almost looks like it's a fake one but it is real. Mummy took me to the hospital to find out why it is soo big, Daddy thinks it's funny, I will tell you what was wrong when I get back from the hospital

Long time lots to tell

2010-04-24T16:52:00.002+09:30

Well I can't believe that it has been so long since I last wrote to you I have lots to tell you. Firstly I went on an airplane and then had a long trip home in a special car that I slept in at night time. We went on a holiday to a place called Perth and it was really good because Uncle Russell was on the same plane as us going over to Perth and then before he had to come home we met him in the city and he bought me a yummy biscuit. We didn't do too much in Perth I got to sleep in a big boy bed until one night when I fell out and hit my head on the wall as I went down that wasn't fun. One day we went to a place called Fremantle and we had to go on the train for that but the trains in Perth are a lot quieter, other than that we basically used the free buses and went around the city and to a big shopping place where I got two new pairs of sandals for next summer. We stayed in the hotel for four nights then we went to pick up what mummy and daddy call a motorhome. That night we stayed in our motorhome which was parked in Auntie Juline's mummy and daddys driveway, then I got to go to a different church the following day. The following night we stayed in our motorhome at someone else's house that used to be mummy's old pastor, he now has a church in Perth. On Monday we started the long trip home, I'm told that we travelled close to 3,000km, all I know is that I got really bored and almost every park mummy and daddy saw I got to get out and play. My bed for that week was a matress on the floor of this motorhome, it was weird there was even a toilet in there and a place to cook food and even a fridge. Two night we had to stay somewhere to plug our home in it was really confusing. We finally got home I got a certificate to say that I had crossed something call The Nullabor. Since getting home I've done a few things. Last week I went to Bubbles, a big indoor play center. I went there with cousin Emily just before we went away and had lots of fun. I went there last week for my friend Jordan's second birthday. Then today I turn 2 but we are celebrating my birthday on Monday with nana, grandad, Auntie Karen, Uncle Russell, Auntie Chrissie, Uncle Daniel and cousin Emily so I still don't know what presents I'm getting. I don't really understand about birthdays yet. I think that tells you why I haven't written recently, for our holiday we didn't have computer and since getting back mummy and daddy have been slack in letting me get on the computer.
I'll go now and let you know what presents I get after Monday,
Till then, Moses

Fun Days

2010-03-24T09:44:00.001+10:30

Well, last week my daddy took some time off work because my baby brother was born so I got to have lots of fun. On Monday we went to a big park and I had fun running around with other children and going down the slide and playing on the swing. It was good fun, mummy promises to take me to the park more often once it gets a bit cooler but it won't be the big park, it will be a smaller park close to home because she can't play with me and look after my baby brother at the same time. Then on Tuesday daddy decided to move furniture around in my room because soon I have to move into a big boy bed and he had to make room in my bedroom for it. I had fun playing in my wardrobe and will get daddy to help me put a link up on you tube (just look for mosesagarland). I'd go into my wardrobe to hide then open the door again and come out, I've learnt that wardrobes make a good hiding place. I go into mummy and daddy's all the time, even if it is shut I can open the doors because they slide. Then on Saturday night I went down to the new church hall with daddy and had fun playing there and got to do the same on Sunday, especially Sunday night because we had an Easter concert at church. I stayed in for most of the concert but towards the end of the night I got a little bit bored so daddy took me out to play in my new favourite room. I enjoy the new church and because my favourite room has all glass windows it makes it easier for mummy and daddy to see me so they are a bit more relaxed now.
Well I must go, it's almost time for tea, talk to you soon,
Moses

My baby brother

2010-03-15T21:50:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
Well, it finally happened, I'm officially a big brother. On Friday mummy had another little boy named Jada Ezri, I'll get some photos of him up soon but he looks a lot like I did as a baby, I'm now a big boy. I'm not sure yet whether I like him or not, mummy and daddy still give me lots of attention but now there is someone else that they have to look after as well. So far though he hasn't cried too much so I can still sleep well overnight, he has only been home one night so we have to wait and see what happens. Mummy was in hospital for 3 nights so I'm glad to have her home but I enjoyed my time with daddy and also nana and grandad, I got to spend almost all of Friday with them, it was lots of fun I got lots of attention that day, and now have lots of visitors to get cuddles from. I don't have much else to tell you, I'm already helping mummy with Jada though I hand her nappies when she needs them and also put his dirty nappies in the bin. Today I got to play in my jumpy castle all day and got to have some cuddles with Jada but I only get cuddles if someone else helps me. Tomorrow we have to go to the city to register his birth so I'm not looking forward to that because I don't like the big machine we go on to get to the city, but it needs to be done. Well I should go, it is well past my bedtime but I had a long 2-hour nap today so am not so tired tonight, tlak to you soon and I'll let you know once Jada has his own site so that my site can go back to just what I'm doing.
Moses

Not much to say

2010-02-18T23:21:00.002+10:30

Well, I know that it has been a while since I've posted but that's cos not much has happened recently. I've been to a couple of parties and decided that I have a girlfriend, the only problem is she's 2 months older than me so that won't work when we are old, daddy says I have to go out with girls younger than me. I have also decided that I like to go down slippery dips, mummy says that we can start going to the park a lot more once my baby brother or sister is born, there is a park not far from where I live. Other than that I haven't done much else, I'm a big help around the house now, I load and unload the washing machine for mummy, I enjoy washing so much that I even find clean clothes and take them to the laundry to wash. I also still help daddy when cooking, I get my oven mit ready and I sometimes try to help with dishes but I'm too short to reach the sink so instead I just take the rubber gloves and hide them. Well, gonna go now, only 1 1/2 weeks till my baby brother or sister is born I can't wait, I love babies.
Talk to you soon,
Moses

Christmas

2009-12-25T20:23:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
Well I've been very busy in the last week. On Sunday my mummy and daddy took me to the city to see a big show called Carols by Candlelight. We went straight from church to put down our blanket in the park and then into the city for a walk and some lunch, mummy also got new sandals because hers are almost broken (but my baby brother or sister makes bending over hard for her so she had to get daddy to do them up for her to try on). Then the shops all closed so we had to go back to the park but I didn't mind because I had got a new ball to play with and got to run around a bit. Then just before the show Mr Buddy showed up to sit with us. We also had 3 people we don't know sit on the edge of one of our blankets because they couldn't find anywhere else to sit. I liked on of the girls, I just went up to her and gave her a kiss and she said how cute I am and asked if her and her friend could get a photo with me, mummy and daddy agreed, I was happy because I like having my photo taken except when it is Pixifoto taking shots. I fell asleep during the singing and even slept through what mummy and daddy told me was a pretty show in the sky called fireworks, the banging didn't wake me up. Then it was time to come home and mummy and daddy couldn't get the machine in the carpark to read their credit card so the security guard let us out for free. It was a good day.

Yesterday was also busy. Mummy, daddy and me went to the shops to find me a new outfit and see if we could get any cheap meat because shops are shut for 2 days, I got a new t-shirt and mummy and daddy found some meat for us and nana and grandad so when we got home from the shops I got to help mummy take meat to nana and grandad, daddy couldn't come because he had to go down to the church to set up for a service we had yesterday. Then last night I went to a service and sang more carols and got to see some performances, it was good fun, then I got to eat yummy shortbread, I tried a fruit mince pie but didn't like it. Then we went to see some Christmas lights that a church had set up, it was a very busy day for me.

Today was another good day. It started out with pancakes for breakfast and then I got to unwrap some presents, I wasn't sure what to do at first so daddy showed me. I opened 2 presents and then it was time to go down to church. After church we had to go to Seaford for lunch at Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel's house. The first thing I did was go to tease her doggy because I was inside and it had to stay outside. After lunch time it was time to open more presents but I didn't really want to open any so mummy and daddy bought them home for me. I'll try to remember everything I got so I can tell you. From Cousin Emily I got a tool box and tools, from Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel I got a Bob the Builder tool kit, from Auntie Karen and Uncle Russell I got two sets of reading books, from nana and grandad I got a little pair of overalls and a drill and saw, from Auntie Brenda I got a toy truck,from Auntie Juline I got some more books and from some Auntie's in England I got money. Mummy and daddy got me a bouncy jumping castle, another tool bag with tools (all the tools I got are toys not real so I can't hurt myself), a talking Thomas phone, a nursery rhyme CD and a set of Mega Blocks lego. It's been a tiring week so I'm glad I have tomorrow off before church on Sunday. Well I think that is all for now, if I think of any more I'll let you know. Mummy says that her and daddy might take me to see more Christmas lights on Tuesday when she is off of work and then they have invited people around for something called a New Year's Eve party, so another busy night.
Well must go and catch up on some well needed sleep, I hope you all had a good Christmas like I did, I'll put up some photos soon,
Until then,
Moses

Family camp

2009-12-01T10:18:00.001+10:30

Hi all,
Well the weekend just gone was the church family camp down at Normanville. We left on Friday with a very full car and came back Sunday with an even fuller car, I even had a special footrest. It was a good weekend, there was a sliding door that I loved to open and shut and there was a very big kitchen but I wasn't allowed in there because it wasn't my daddy's kitchen (even though I wanted to help out). We arrived on Friday and went straight to a big room, a lot of other kids were going outside to play but it was a bit wet so mummy and daddy didn't want me to go outside and I was a good boy I just stayed by the door and looked out. That night there was an introduction to the lesson's mummy and daddy were going to listen to I got to play with my blocks on the floor, then it was time to play a few games and go to bed, at first I didn't want to sleep because I was in my portacot and not in my own house but mummy and daddy assured me that they were with me. I went to sleep until 4am when mummy had to get me up into her bed because I wouldn't go back to sleep. On Saturday in the morning I went to creche but wasn't happy there because mummy and daddy weren't in the room with me, I'm only happy if I know one of them is in the room with me, we stayed there all morning and even got a special morning tea. Then it was lunchtime but because I was up late Friday night I got too tired and fell asleep in my high chair and didn't want to eat. Saturday afternoon mummy had a rest on her bed (neither mummy or daddy slept Friday night because their were too hard) and daddy and me went to the markets in Myponga. Then it was back to camp for tea time and a concert then supper and games. I went to bed at 10pm that night and mummy and daddy stayed up a bit longer. I let daddy know that I wanted to go to bed by banging on the door and then waving goodbye to the room we were in. Sunday morning was church then it was time for creche again. After creche it was lunch time and because I fell asleep yeaterday mummy was allowed to get me my lunch before everyone else got theirs, I ate a little bit before falling asleep, everyone thought it was so cute that I got so tired I fell asleep sitting up. Mummy then had to sweep out our dorm room while daddy packed the car. Then we got to leave. On the way home we stopped by Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel's house to show them my grown-up haircut but they weren't home then just as we were about to leave they showed up so they got to see my haircut. Then it was time to come home and I didn't want to go to bed at my normal bed time because I'm used to going to bed at a later time, mummy has the hard job of getting me back into my normal routine this week. Well I think that sums up family camp it was a good but tiring weekend.
The other big thing that has happened to me is I've had a big boy haircut, mummy was so tired of my hair getting too long too quickly so she took me to the hairdresser and told them to give me a number 2 whatever that is. I look so grown up now, no more curlies at the end of my hair.
Well I should go, talk to you soon,
Moses

New pet rabbit

2009-11-17T21:54:00.002+10:30

I had a big day today we went shopping and mummy and daddy bought me some new clothes cause I was getting too big for my old clothes, then mummy and daddy bought a new tv, it looks smaller than the other one, then when we came home I had a sleep and when I got up no-one had put the groceries away so I got mummy to open the pantry for me so I could put them away (my parents are so messy), then we got a phone call from aunty Juline about a baby rabbit they found at school, she wanted to know if I wanted it (cause my last rabbit, Coco, died) so mummy and daddy said that I could have it, it's really cute I will try to put a video of me and my new rabbit up tomorrow, I don't know what I will call it yet we have to take it to the vets to see if it is a boy or girl.
Well that's it for now talk to you later

Sad news

2009-11-11T07:58:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
Well I have some sad news to tell you, yesterday when daddy and I went out to check on my pet rabbit Coco daddy discovered he was dead. I'm not sure what that means except I can't play with him anymore. He used to come into the house and play with me sometimes, we think that he might have got a bit hot in the sun because it's been hot recently, we were going to bring him inside out of the sun yesterday. If you want to see how much fun we had together just go to www.youtube.com and search for mosesagarland and you can see all my videos that way, including a couple of me and Coco. I'll miss him but mummy and daddy have said maybe for my next birthday I can get another pet rabbit and they will put up a bit of shadecloth so that next summer my poor pet doesn't get too hot.
Well, must go and play now to try to keep my mind occupied.
Talk to you soon,
Moses

Going to be a Chef

2009-11-08T21:53:00.002+10:30

Just a quick note today for some reason mummy and daddy thought you would like to see me in the kitchen, I'm learning what to do with the tools I find in the kitchen draws.

long time no talk

2009-10-18T21:17:00.004+10:30

I hadn't realised it had been so long since I had posted.
let's see if I can give you a quick post on what's been happening, I'm walking now so there's absolutely no stopping me, I know how to open and close cupboards and sliding doors, mummy and daddy think I'm funny sometimes I've figured out where daddy hides the tv buttons (it's under my lounge) so when I get the buttons (I'm not aloud to have them) and daddy asks for them I go over pickup the lounge & put the buttons under then put the lounge down again.

I've also realised that when you cook (I help daddy all the time) you have to wear the oven mit.

The photo is of me playing with my other favourite things the plastics from the tupperware cupboard

Well that's it for now

Seaford

2009-10-07T14:27:00.002+10:30

Hiya,
On Monday it was something called a Public Holiday, I don't know what it meant except that mummy, daddy and I could go and visit Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel at their house 1&1/2 - 2 hours drive from us. We had to go there to pick up a new table and chairs. We also had lunch while we were there. At first I wasn't too sure if I liked it because Auntie Chrissie has a big dog that jumped all over me and knocked me over while I was walking. I did get to sit on a big boy chair at the table though because my high chair was at home. I managed to reach the table, just. Then on the way home we stopped off at IKEA and I wasn't happy because mummy and daddy made me go in the machine that closes and then moves (lift) but I'm getting a bit better I didn't cry until the doors closed, normally I'd cry beofre we even walk in. Then we had to drop off Mr Tom's car which we had borrowed for the day, they have 2 doggies but one was nice and calm and lay next to mummy so that was good because I got to pat her quite a lot, the other one was like Auntie Chrissie's and tried to jump on me so they put her out. Then it was time to come home and dinner time then to bed. I must've slept too much in the car though because I didn't want to sleep Monday night so mummy stayed up with me and then was tired Tuesday. Last night I slept all through the night and today I've not had a day time nap so daddy hopes I'll sleep all night again.
Must go, mummy wants to use the computer, speak to you soon,
Jo

Show Day

2009-09-07T17:22:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I had a very busy day on Friday. Mummy and daddy decided to taek me to something called the Royal Adelaide Show, they say I went last year but don't remember it. Anyway firstly we had to go on the train and this time I didn't like the doors shutting and let everyone know it as well I screamed the entire time on the train into the city, then we had to buy our tickets in the city because the machine on the train decided to break so we had to stand in a long line then it was onto another train but this time wasn't too bad because the doors only shut once then opened up and we were at the show! It was very fun, the first thing we did was go and see some pigs racing and then jumping into the water I can understand that because I like my baths as well. Then we went to buy something called the Yellow Brick Road and we had to go all over the show collecting items. I also got to go on the Paddle Pop farm walk and got to collect items as well. Then we went to watch an illusionist. After that it was time to go inside and we went into a big hall with lots of stands. I had to wait while mummy got some car insurance thingy for if she breaks down then we got to go and see the kiddies stuff but there wasn't much this year. After we had finished walking throught that big hall it was time to go on rides. I got to go on the teacups and saucer with mummy and wasn't happy until it started to move. Then I got to go down a big slippery slide with daddy but at the top of the slide daddy gave me to a lady to hold me while he sat down then I didn't want to let go of her, i'll get daddy to put the videos up on Youtube, just look under mosesagarland but not tonight because he is at work until after I'm in bed so I can't ask him until tomorrow. After the rides it was time for showbags. I got the Mega Tots showbag and we got Auntie Jewlz the Trolli gummy showbag because she looked after me Saturday night when daddy went out for tea and mummy was at work. After that we went to buy a special tap to give us nice tasting water, then it was time to watch some gymnastic type men doing lots of good acrobatics, then we came home because mummy was tired and had a sore back so I didn't get to see something called fireworks, oh well there is always next year. I think that is the main part of my big day at the show.
Today mummy and daddy went and bought a new fridge and freezer which will arrive tomorrow and they got their nice tasting water tap installed tiday so now I have 2 big bottles in the lounge room of water it is good I choose which one I want at any time.
I think that is all for now, I can't think of anything else I have done, on Thursday I get to see my new brother or sister on the tv screen, mummy has something called an ultrasound her and daddy can't wait they assure me that they were just as excited with me.
Well should go, I have Homecare deliveries to do for daddy, so will have to drag mummy away from her book.
Talk to you soon,

My mean parents

2009-09-02T16:45:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I want to complain to you about my mummy and daddy, they were very mean to me today. Firstly, they took me to a store to have photos taken even though they know I don't like it. Then they took me to another store and put something tight on my feet which they call shoes. I like my feet free so to try to stop them I curled up my toes but the lady showed them how to uncurl my toes. Lastly not once but twice they took me in a box that moves. I don't like them they close up and I'm afraid I won't get back out again. Then finally when we got home they put me down for a sleep, so it's been a very bad day for me. Mummy and daddy say my shoes are a good brand, something called Nike, they arre the ony shoes that fit me because my feet are so small, now I have to learn to walk in them. Well I should go and see if I can find anything else to complain about in the next few days. In 2 days time I'm sure I'll have lots to say becasue I'm going to a big carnival which might be fun unless mummy and daddy are mean again.

Engagement party

2009-08-25T17:35:00.002+09:30

On Saturday night I was lucky enough to go to Mr Roth and Miss Amy's engagement party. I'm not sure exactly wha it was other than a lot of people were there with a lot of nice food. Mummy had to miss it though because she was at work so I went with daddy. It was a very big night for me because it was also the night I decided that I can walk further than 5-6 steps and now mummy and daddy can't stop me, except on our tiles at home, they scare me so I just walk on the carpet. I haven't really had anything else exciting happen recently. In a few weeks I get to go to a big show and go on showrides and get showbags and see racing and diving pigs and lots of other exciting things. I went last year but can't remember much so I can't wait. Well must go, it's almost my bed time, tonight I won't have my favourite blanket because I was sickies today so my blanket is on the line drying, it will hopefully come in tomorrow, it's been very cold and windy here but tomorrow is meant to have no rain.

Nothing interesting

2009-08-19T20:24:00.002+09:30

It's been a while since I posted anything but nothing really exciting has happened to me recently. Today on the way to work some lady smashed into daddy's van but it was her fault she said she didn't see him, how his van could be missed is beyond me, I've not seen the damage yet because daddy is still at work and I have to go to bed soon, I'll see it tomorrow morning, but daddy disn't get hurt so that is the most important thing, now his van just needs to ger fixed. Saturday night I'm going to an engagement party for Mr Roth and Miss Amy they are apparently going to have lots of nice cakes so I can't wait. Mummy has to work so she misses out but she's ok with that she's not meant to eat too many cakes something about my little brother or sister making her get something called gestational diabetes but she is able to not need injections yet, she just eats lots more salad and vegetable, I don't mind it means that we have lots of celery at home which I really like. Well I must go to bed, it's past my bedtime but I had afternoon sleep today not a morning sleep because we have visitors this morning. Talk to you soon, will let you know about daddy's van as well,

New photos

2009-08-04T16:40:00.004+09:30

Well I don't have much to say just wanted to put up some new photos

New lounge room

2009-07-27T16:48:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
No we don't have a new addition to the house but this morning daddy decided to move our lounge room around to try and fit more in and make it look bigger. The tv has been moved as have most things, the only things not to move are the computer desk and the craft/junk desk. Even all my toys have been moved. I don't have much else to say, mummy still gets sick because of my baby brother or sister (I personally want a brother so I have someone to play with). Well, I must go and try to make a mess,

What's a big brother?

2009-07-10T20:24:00.003+09:30

Well it's been raining most of today so it's been a bit boring. I did get good news (well mum & dad said it is good news) I'm going to be a big brother (whatever that is) in march. So we went out to see nana and grandad so we can tell them. Then went shopping and bumped into nana and cousin Emily so we had an ice cream with them. Then we came home.
Well that's it for now

Day of falls

2009-07-06T10:09:00.003+09:30

Well I'm glad that I don't have any broken bones because I had 2 falls and 2 trapped fingers yesterday all within 4 hours. I'll tell you about it. Firstly I was playing on mummy and daddy's bed and I fell off that. Then a bit later I was sooky so mummy put me in my cot for a snooze and I was crying then I became quiet then I started to cry again so daddy came to my bedroom and tried to open the door but he had trouble because I had climbed out of my cot and went behind the door. Now my cot is lower so I can't even reach the top of the rails (not fair!!). Then last night before I went to bed I was playing with the drawers in the kitchen and trapped my fingers in the bottom drawer. Daddy got them out the first time then because I didn't learn my lesson, 10 minutes later I was playing with the drawers again and got my fingers caught again. Mummy says that it's a good thing that I don't have brittle bones because I keep getting into things and exploring ending up with lots of bumps to myself. I still haven't learnt my lesson about drawers though because before writing this I was again playing with them. Well I Mmst go and see what else I can get into.

Daddy thinks I'm strange

2009-07-03T10:28:00.003+09:30

I think I've discovered the best seat in the house. I've been in my toybox for at least an hour now and I can look out the front window, I can watch tv (but dad won't turn it on), I can watch dad and I can play with my toys, it's great. The only problem is I can't remember how to get out and dad won't come to my rescue he just says "you got in you get out" at this rate I might be here all day

Alone and into everything

2009-06-30T09:55:00.006+09:30

Well our friends left this morning they were here for three weeks it was good to have two extra kids in the house they gave me rides on my bikes and played games with me we did have a lot of fun. But they are on their way back to Port Macquarie NSW and then in August they go to Paraquay to be missionaries for four years (mum and dad say I wont remember them when they come back), but now it's just me so I'm getting into everything including the recycle bucket and my toy box that was the most fun I was in there for quite a while playing with my toy train (mum's getting sick of 'mary had a little lamb') the only problem I had was getting, out daddy had to come to the rescue otherwise I might have been stuck there forever. Well that's it for now I've got to go annoy mummy some more, she thinks she can have a nap on the lounge :)

Day out

2009-06-24T09:48:00.002+09:30

Yesterday I went out to the city again with some friends of mummy and daddy's because they had to get a test done. We were going to go for a walk in the park but it was raining and cold so instead we came straight home after the test. We went into the city on the bus so the visitors could see the track where the driver doesn't have to steer (for those in SA the O-Bahn, for those elsewhere it is the only one of it's kind in Australia the buses have guide wheels to guide them along a track). Then we went home on the train and because daddy was at work with the car mummy walked home and pushed me in my stroller. I was a naughty boy last night though because I had an afternoon sleep and not a morning sleep I didn't want to go to bed but mummy thought I might have another tooth coming through so she gave me panadol. I have 1o teeth, 6 at the top and 4 at the bottom, it is good to bite mummy when she tries to feel for new teeth because I don't always show her how many I have. I have also started to walk by myself, only 1-2 steps but it's a start, I much prefer crawling or holding onto furniture, I have been walking that way for a long time I'm afraid of falling and hurting my bottom. Well I must go now, talk to you soon,

Big day out

2009-06-10T19:32:00.003+09:30

Well, I'm going to tell you all about my big day out. On Monday it was a public holiday so mummy and daddy decided to go and visit Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel at their new house in Seaford. Firstly we went to nana and grandad's house to pick up a wardrobe and bikes for Auntie Karen and cousin Emily. Then we dropped them off at Auntie Karen's and picked up Auntie Chrissie's bed. We then went to Seaford and dropped off the bed and had a look around their new house. I also got to meet Charli (Auntie Chrissie's dog), but she didn't play much with me. Then we got some barrels from Uncle Daniel and put them in our car. I then went to a pizza place for lunch but I ate chips and garlic bread for lunch while mummy and daddy had pizza. Then it was time to go home and for mummy and daddy to finish cleaning up because some friends arrived at our place yesterday and we had to make sure the house was clean for them. Our friends are missionaries and are here looking for support from people so are staying with us for a little while. They have 2 young children but they are older than me. Today we went to the shops and I got some new clothes, I have 4 lots of new pants and 3 new tops, mummy says that I'm spoilt because I didn't need that many clothes, but they were on special so she got them all. On Monday when we went out I was a big boy because I wasn't in my normal car seat I was in a booster seat because we went in the van and there is nowhere in the van to attach my normal seat. It was good fun though, mummy, daddy and me all sat in a row. Well, I must go I've had a busy day and I need to go to sleep now. Talk to you soon,

Cousin Emily's birthday party

2009-06-03T20:11:00.003+09:30

Last week daddy took me to cousin Emily's birthday party (mummy had to stay at home she's sick). It was at a big pool ang I got to go swimming in the big pool, it was nice and warm water just like my bath water. Last year there were slides that daddy went on but this year they had stopped the slide so instead there was a big floatie in the pool but I didn't get to go on that. Instead daddy helped me to swim on my back, I wasn't sure at first but then I decided that I did like it. I also got to eat lots of party food and have some yummy birthday cake. I'm just glad that I was over my gastro so I could go out and enjoy myself. Mummy has a bad cold at the moment so on Sunday we didn't go to church and then when daddy had to work in the afternoon I went to nana and grandad's house so that mummy could rest (now she just has a cough). Miss Stef visitted Sunday afternoon while I was out to drop off a present for me, it is a new pet rabbit called Coco, she doesn't have enough time to look after him anymore so she asked us to look after him for her, I don't know though even though he is nice and soft and doesn't scratch I'm a bit scared of him. Mummy feeds him and brings him into the house a little bit so that he gets used to us and we get used to him. Next week we have some friends of mummy and daddy's coming to stay, their names are Mr Mauricio and Mrs Michelle and they have 2 children for me to play with named Serena and Josiah, they are a bit older than me but will be good. They are visitting because in a month they are going to be missionaries somewhere called Paraguay but before they go they have to see if they can get more support so they are going to visit my church and a few more in the area. Well I should go to bed but I'm not tired, mummy put me down for a nap at 4:30pm and I slept until 6:00pm so I'm not tired now, if I scream I sometimes get back up but ususally I don't like know how it happens but I fall asleep. Must go so that mummy can play on the computer.
Talk to you soon, on Monday I'm going to see Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel's new house, they live 2 hours away now and we are going to visit because it is a public holiday and Auntie Chrissie wants her mattress which we are going to put in daddy's van.
Must go,

Gastro again

2009-05-26T19:16:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Well I have gastro again but this time I didn't have to go to hospital instead mummy made daddy get the yummy drink and then she gave me 15ml every 15 minutes to stop me from getting too dry and also to stop me vomitting, it didn't work though, mummy still had a lot of washing to do, including 3 lots of bedding and I don't know how many clothes. I'm a little better today but still tired, I had a 2-hour nap earlier. Daddy gave me the sickness this time, he was sickies Thursday, I didn't mind I got to spend extra time with nana and grandad. I have to go now, the computer keyboard is yucky and keeps not working, I'll post again once the keyboard works,

Sorry

2009-05-13T20:09:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Well it has been quite a while since I've blogged so I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to. I have been to another birthday party on 2 May for Caleb who turned one as well. I've also not been well again, I had a cold and maybe a little bit of gastro so for about a week I wasn't well. Then on Monday mummy and daddy decided that since I'm all better I could have some more nasty needles I don't like it when they decide this it hurts me a lot. Other than that I haven't done much. We had mother's day and mummy and daddy went out for tea, Auntie Jewlz looked after me and I was a naughty boy, I cried ever since mummy and daddy went out, then I wouldn't eat my tea so she put me in my cot and I eventually went to sleep, I still don't like sleeping. Mummy says that I won't be doing much anytime soon, her and daddy are saving money for a nice big holiday in 2 years time, they say we are going on a long plane trip but I don't like planes they hurt my ears. Another thing I now only get my milk from a bottle, not from mummy anymore, at first I didn't like it, but I enjoy being a big boy now I always have my bottle of milk and water in the lounge room because my bottles don't leak when I leave them on their side, they are smart bottles.
Well I suppose I should go, it's almost bedtime but i'm hoping that mummy doesn't realise that.

More presents

2009-04-28T19:16:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Well at church on Sunday I got two more presents, one was from Autnie Jewlz and the other from Auntie Juline. From Auntie Juline I got two new books, one of a cat and one counting with Mickey Mouse (I have to hide that one from mummy). Auntie Jewlz cross-stitched me a picture when I was born a year ago and I only just ogt it, even though she finished it in June! That is because she wanted to get a really nice frame and it is now framed so I just need it put up in my room. I haven't done much recently, on Saturday I have Caleb's party yo go to and I hope it doesn't rain again because it is going to be in a park, daddy is going to take me because mummy has to work. On Monday I also have to get some more nasty injections, not many more to go I hope.
Well I should go I can't think of anything else to tell you.

My first birthday

2009-04-25T19:57:00.003+09:30

Hi Bloggers,
Well yesterday I turned a big number one. I didn't really do too much because mummy was busy but I got to have my birthday party today at my house and it was very full, we all had to stay inside because it was raining. Mummy and daddy organised a bbq for all my family and friends. Nana and Grandad, Auntie Karen, Uncle Russell, cousin Emily, Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel were here (it was the first time I saw Auntie Chrissie since she got married-seems like a long time ago now), along with Mr Henry and Mrs Felicity and Jo, Harry, Jess and Anika, Mr Trevor and Mrs. Shelley and Abby, Katie and Clare, Mr Michael and Mrs Melinda and Caleb, Mr Matt and Mrs Faith and Adelaide, Amelia and Aiden. Grandad did the bbq with help from Uncle Russell and he did a good job out in the open and cold garage, I want to say a big thank you to grandad. We also had smiley face biscuits (mummy got that idea from Jordan's birthday), lots and lots of lollies, potato salad, pasta salad, honey joys, chocolate crackles and bbq sausage, onion, potato, chicken patties and chicken bites. Mummy was up all night cooking and daddy only had 3 hours sleep overnight as well. I also got to have an eggless chocolate cake (I'm still a bit allergic to eggs). I also got lots of nice presents, a book on My First 100 machines (hard-back so I'm allowed it now), a set of finger puppets, some hooks to hang up in my wall for clothes etc, a musical train, a spinning elephant, a bowling set, a drinking cup, some learning books, and from mummy and daddy a Bible (which I won't be allowed till I'm older), a Tonka Scooter and a Tiger ball game. Mrs Susan and Mr Bruce visited me on Thursday night and I got a bert doll and a Moses book from them. Auntie Jewlz and Uncle Joe were also at my birthday party because I was going to have the puppets sing for me but that didn't happen. We got to play pass the parcel and Abby won the prize an art and craft colouring set. I had a very good day but I don't want to go to sleep I want to continue to play with all my new toys. I should go and continue to play. I'll put up some photos soon,
Bye for now,
Moses

Birthday party

2009-04-18T18:37:00.003+09:30

Hiya,
Today I had 2 exciting things happen. Firstly daddy and me went out to garage sales and I got a new toybox, well new to me it belonged to somebody else first so now all my toys go into this box and I have to get mummy and daddy to get some out for me to play with. Secondly I went to my friend Jordan's first birthday party. He was born exactly one week before me and his mummy and daddy had a party for him in a park today. I ate some yummy biscuits, they had smiley faces on them, they were yummy. Then for his birthday cake they had doughnuts, I was given one on my way home and fell asleep with it in my hand and it was a big mess to clean up but mummy had to clean me up to get me out of the car. Check out the photo below. I had good fun at the party I got to play pass the parcel and hit a cookie monster pinyata, that was good when it broke open it was full of lollies and lots of fun. Other than that I haven't done much else today, just play and not sleep. I get to have my first birthday party next week and I'm hoping it will be fun, I'm sure it will be. Must go so that mummy can check her emails, and I'm sure daddy will want to get on the computer soon.

Glenelg beach

2009-04-15T19:44:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Well as you can tell from my heading today I went to Glenelg (a beach) with mummy, nana and cousin Emily. We went on the train to tthe city then the tram to get to the beach. At first it was very cold and windy when we walked down the jetty. Then mummy and cousin Emily walked along the beach and picked up some shells but I was pushed along the promenade by nana. Then we had lunch and walked along a road with shops on either side. By that time it was a bit warmer. We walked up one side and down the other side, then we went to get the tram. Whilst waiting for the tram I had a look at a fountain with mummy it was weird streams of water came up and down at different times but mummy took a chance and walked through the fountain at one point and thankfully we didn't get wet. Then it was time to get the tram back to Adelaide and I had a sickies but my cousin Emily was holding me so I sicked up on her and nana had to put perfume on her to cover up the smell, then we got the train back home. It was a very long day so I'm now really tired and need to go to bed but you can see a photo of us all at the end of the jetty.

I'll talk to you soon, I'm sure next week will be good because I get to spend a lot of time with daddy as mummy is doing a course and then at the end of next week I turn 1!! I'm also going to a birthday party for my friend Jordan on Saturday because he turns 1 a week before me.
Must go to bed,

Gastro

2009-04-08T10:54:00.002+09:30

Well all I'm not well at the moment I have something called gastro I don;t know what it is other than it means that I'm sick all the time and have runny nappies for mummy and daddy to clean up. I even had to go to the hospital yesterday but I got to come home when I was able to have some drink and keep it down so today mummy and daddy are giving me little bits of drink often and I've only had 1 sickies today but that was after I had a drink from mummy on both sides so now she only gives me 1 side at a time and only a little drink. She also has something called jelly setting in the freezer because I can't eat anything else.
I forgot to mention in my last post that I has a hair cut. I was in the haordressers with mummy and daddy when he was having his hair cut and muumy decided that maybe I should get mine done as well so it is all nice and neat now and mummy kept some hair for my baby album. I can't think of anything else exciting I was meant to go to kindergym tomorrow for a trial run but because of my sickies I'm not allowed to go out anywhere otherwise I might make other people sick.

Busy weekend

2009-04-06T11:19:00.004+09:30

I had a very busy weekend just gone. On Saturday I got to go to my Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel's wedding day. I was very cute in my 3 piece suit, complete with a bow-tie (see the attached photos). My suit was a little black pants and top with a white shirt. I sat with Autie Jewlz at the wedding because mummy was a bridesmaid (I'm not sure what that means other than she was gone from me ALL DAY) and daddy was videoing the ceremony for Auntie Chrissie. The wedding was very nice I was asleep at the beginning of the ceremony but then I woke up and I was a very good boy because I didn't cry at all. Then I got to have some photos with Auntie Chrissie and Uncle Daniel in their nice clothes but we don't have them yet and I also got some photos by myself and some with mummy and daddy but we still don't have them yet don't worry I will put them up when I get them. I didn't get to go to the reception though because it was on a boat so instead Auntie Jewlz was very kind and brought me home and I went to bed then when I woke up mummy and daddy were home. Then yesterday I had church in the morning then a lunch at church then I went with mummy to have her hair cut, then we got to go home for a little bit then I went back to church for a concert (the concert was on because Easter is on soon, I liked it because I got to see the puppets which i always enjoy) then I stayed to help mummy and daddy finish the school cleaning (well I slept in my pram while they cleaned until I woke up and was afraid because I thought I was all alone). Then we came home I had my supper and went to bed. My little body is confused though because on Saturday night I was meant to have an extra hour sleep but I keep waking up early and mummy and daddy don't get me up until it is wake-up time so I stay in my cot and cry mummy says that I will soon settle into a new routine then the clocks will change again and confuse me again. Oh well I'm staying at home today but after my weekend I think I need a bit of time at home. When I get some more photos of the wedding I'll put them on my blog site.

Great Week

2009-03-16T18:27:00.003+10:30

Well all what a week it has been! Mummy has been working over night so she has been getting home in the morning and going to bed, so daddy stayed home to look after me, last monday daddy took me to the gardening Australia expo at the showgrounds it was a good day we saw some friends from church and lots of flowers, daddy said he was glad he had no money cause there was lots of things he wanted to buy.
Then on tuesday we went to the garden shop and bought some tomato plants and cinnamon basil which we planted in a box in the back yard and they haven't died yet. The rest of the week went normally, then things went wrong for daddy and some others at church cause some naughty people broke in and stole some of our computer stuff, but the police lady got her job done really quickly and everything got fixed and working just in time for church.
Well that's about it for now talk to you later
oh yeah before I forget you can now follow me on twitter

Hi All

Well today didn't start out well, at least for daddy and people at church, some naughty people broke into our church and stole the computer screens and tried to wreck the computers so there was a police lady at church when I got there this morning. But this afternoon I had a lot of fun going in circles I went through the kitchen (daddy doesn't normally let me go in there), around the corner and back into the lounge room then back through the kitchen round the corner and back into the lounge room, did that a couple of times then turned around and did it the other way around it was a lot of fun, in between I stop to crawl up dady's leg and say hi.

Well that's about it today talk to you all later

p.s the photo was from Christmas day at grandma's house

My big day out

2009-03-02T16:51:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
I know it was a long time ago but I thought I better tell you about my big day out with mummy and daddy. Last Wednesday we wnet to what was called a caravan and camping expo, I don't know much about it other than mummy and daddy kept going into homes on wheels to have a look, they called them caravans and motorhomes. They found one which would fit 6 people because they want me to have 3 younger brothers or sisters (I'm not sure about that). Other than that I haven't done much recently. I now have 4 teeth two on the bottom and 2 at the top. I also have a bit of a cold as well which I gave to my mummy but she is almost better now and daddy hasn't caught it from me (yet!) Well, I must go I was at nana and grandad's house all day today because grandad had to take mummy and daddy's car to have it checked over for some strange reason they call it a service. I also got to go throught the car wash I was ok except when a black noisy machine came over mummy said that it was a heater to dry the car, I enjoyed the actual wash it was fun to wash just wait until I can open the windows!! Well I'll talk to you soon, in 4 weeks my auntie Chrissie gets married so I get to wear a nice suit and bow tie I can't wait for that

Big day out

2009-02-09T15:50:00.003+10:30

Hi,
Today me and mummy went to the city, it was good fun. I got to have a sleep in my pram and then we only looked in 3 shops. Mummy wants to get a new sort of bracelet which she can choose her own beads for and daddy told her about a shop in a big shopping centre that has a lot of different beads so of course she had to go and have a look. It was very interesting to look at all the nice items but I wasn't allowed to touch any of them. We got to go into and out of the city on the train, it was noisy but quick. I haven't done anything else recently, I'm now good at crawling and standing up, yesterday at church I decided at the end to crawl to see daddy now he can't hide from me. The only problem is I get into trouble if I go out of the lounge room unless I'm with mummy in her bedroom. Daddy likes to be able to see me at all times. I'm also getting good at standing up I crawl to the lounge and hold onto it and pull myself onto me feet, not long and I'll be walking then mummy and daddy are really in for a fun time. Daddy also has to change my cot because I'm starting to stand up in that and will soon be able to climb out if my mattress isn't lowered. I still only have 2 teeth and can't feel anymore coming.
Must go talk to you soon,
Moses

Hot hot hot

2009-01-27T18:45:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
Well today was very hot it got to 43 degrees, I was swealtering. All I wore most of the day was my nappy and vest. I did go out for a bit so wore proper clothes then, but only a little jumpsuit. I have enjoyed crawling around I now go into the kitchen so mummy and daddy keep a close eye on me, daddy says that he is going to make a gate to stop me going into the kitchen. They also have to watch what I put into my mouth, everything goes into it now. Not much else to tell you, I wnet out yesterday and got a free breakfast and an ice cream but we had to buy that. All I got for breakfast was a piece of bread but mummy and daddy got free bacon and eggs because it was something called Australia Day I got a free flag painted on my face though which they didn't get and I also got a balloon teddy bear. I also got to have an icecream which was nice it was my second big icecream, I had another one back on my holiday. The icecream was also nice because it was hot yesterday, but not quite as hot as today. I must go so that mummy can get on the computer, plus I have to go help daddy make tea. Talk to you soon,
Moses

Finally back

2009-01-20T17:52:00.002+10:30

Well it has been a long long time since I last talked to you because our laptop computer broke and so I haven't been able to get online but mummy and daddy bought a new internet today so I can finally talk to you all. Well let me see if I can remember everything. I got home safley from our trip and I did get to try gingerbread but didn't really like it. Daddy just managed to get everything fit inside the car but it was a big squeeze and tehn at the border a man wanted to look in the car but he didn't make daddy unpack it just open the glove box and boot, it's a good thing too otherwise daddy wouldn't have been happy. Then I got more new presents on New Years Day. I got a coin set, some books and a Thomas lounge which has a sleeping bag on it. I also got a new ride-on bike but I haven't quite figured out how to get off it yet I just fall off. I have also got my first tooth it hurt a lot but isn't sore now but I tried to bite mummy on the nose one day and it hurt her. I also cut my finger on my tooth and hurt myself. I'm also crawling now mummy and daddy have to get a gate to keep me out of the kitchen I don't know why it is fun. I am bored of the lounge room though daddy has found me by the front door a couple of times so it is always kept locked now. New Year's Eve I went to a party at the Townley's house and all I know is that at one point it got noisy I don't understand why. I've also been to a bbq at somebody's house but mummy had to go to work. I can't think of much more, life is normal again and I'm wearing proper clothes again. I turn 9 months old on Saturday soon I'll be one year old and talking and walking then I can really get into trouble. Should go and play and let mummy and daddy back on the computer to catch up with their emails I haven't got any recently.
Talk to you soon,
Moses

My first Christmas

2008-12-27T14:37:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
Well 2 days ago I'm told thatChristmas happened I''m not sure what it is all about other than I got lots of presents ans got to help make a mess by ripping paper. I got some really nice presents I got some drums to make a lot of noise and some nice new clothes and some new teddies, plus other stuff. My mummy and daddy also got some nice new toys to play with as well and the best thing is mummy tells me I will be doing it again when I get back home, this time with nana and grandad and Auntie Kaz, Auntie Chris, cousin Emily, Uncle Russell and maybe Uncle Daniel if he can make it. I'm still up in Queensland for 2 more days, mummy daddy and me leave in 2 days time. It has started to get what mummy calls humid, all I know is it makes my bidy sticky and I'm used to just wearing a nappy and vests now. We might be going to a different church tomorrow but we aren't sure. I also got to go to the shops a lot of people were standing outside waiting for them to open I don't understand why thought they were only closed one day a lot of people obviously ran out of food in a short time. My daddy bought more Christmas lights and mummy got more Christmas cards. Grandma got more lights and Auntie Eddie got a few little things. I don't know how everything is going to fit in the car to get back home, mummy and me might have to leave daddy behind (I'm sure grandma won't mind but daddy might)!! On the way home I get to stop at the Gingerbread factory and I might talk mummy and daddy into letting me try some gingerbread becasue we still have to get some presents for some people (but they are a secret I'm not allowed to say). I've had a good time but will be glad to get home because I've missed a lot of people and the weather is not nice now. I suppose I should go so mummy can start to play on the internet. Must go I'll talk to you all soon,
Moses

I'm hot

2008-12-19T12:56:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
Well once again I know it has been a bit since I last wrote to you so I have a lot to tell you. Roght now I'm in sunny Queensland which is quite a shock to my little body, I went from mid-20 and sometimes rainy weather to mid-30 and a bit humid weather. Me and mummy and daddy came up to Queensland for Christmas time but we drove so that I could meet lots of new people. It was a lond drive but we drove overnight so I slept most of the time. We left straight after mummy finished work on Saturday so I was asleep straight away. Then we went to somewhere called Lithgow which I've been told in in some mountains somewhere so my ears got sore on the way down I didn't realise on the way up because I was asleep. We visited mummy and daddy's friends called Mr. Ted and Mrs. Saras and they wanted to keep me but mummy said no. Then it was time to meet Grandad Garland. My Auntie Steph and her husband with 2 boys were also at grandad's house. I got a little bit jealous bacause mummy held another baby but she told me that she still loves me more. Then we went to Auntie Eddy and Mr. Colin's house. I also got to meet Uncle Warwick who is living there at the moment. It was a lot of people for me to meet. I liked it overnight though because we were on a blowup bed in the lounge room so I got to sleep with mummy and daddy again. Then Monday morning I met Mr. Peter and Mrs. Gail because they live across the road and mummy put a nappy in their bin because Auntie Eddy's bin was locked away. Then we went to meet Uncle David. He liked me a lot but didn't want to keep me but he was lots of fun and I've been told that he does good drawings of cartoons. Then we went on another long ride and when we stopped I met more new people. I got to meet Mr. Alan and Mrs. Elaine along with Uncle Geoff, Auntie Debbie and Mr. Owen. I liked it at this house because I was given a yummy tea and something called ice cream for dessert. The following day mummy and daddy were planning on going for a walk along something called a beach but the opening was a long way off so instead we went to look at some shops. After lunch it was time to meet Mr. Mauricio and Mrs. Michelle and their 2 children. We stayed there for a little bit and they might visit me next year for my birthday. Then it was time to go and meet Mr. David and Mrs. Wendy and Auntie Jenny-Anne. I got to try pizza at their house and also some vegetables. I don't mind when people put food in my mouth. After we left there it was time to go and pack the car to finally start driving to Queensland. On the way up we stopped at Auntie Jade's and Auntie Amber's house at 3 am in the morning and woke them up, but Auntie Jade had to start work at 5am. After we stopped there we drove to Grandma's house and arrived at 8am which was a big surprise because we weren't expected until later that day or even the following day. I haven't done much since being here, yesterday I went to the shops with daddy because mummy had to go and pick Auntie Eddy and Mr. Colin up from the airport with grandma. It took them a long time I was asleep when they got home (daddy gave me lots of solid food to eat). Tomoorow I am going somewhere called the Ginger Factory and mummy might let me try some gingerbread man. I have tried lots of new food, I've had pizza, shortbread, choc chip bikky, icecream, McDonald's hash brown and muesli. I like it all. I suppose I should go and be friendly, but because I don't feel nice in the heat I'm cuddly with mummy, if I'm upset I don't even go to daddy. I do sleep by myself again in the same room as mummy and daddy but I'm in my portacot which is ok to sleep in but I like my cot back at home.
I must go bit I'll keep you informed of my holiday and let you know if I like gingerbread or not.
Talk to you soon,
Moses

Nice trees

2008-11-25T20:12:00.002+10:30

Hi,
Well as I said in my last post mummy and daddy have put up some trees in the house which is unusual but even more so is that they have decorations on them that is weird. I like to roll around on the floor and then try to reach them but mummy and daddy stop that pretty quick.
I still don't have any teeth but really enjoy solid food, my favourite is pasta bolognase and bananas. Mummy tries to get me to eat vegetable but i don't like them but she keeps persisting. As I said in my last post mummy let the mean lady prick me with needles but I wasn't really sick after them. I have a cough at the moment the doctor thinks it could be somethiong called reflux but it is getting better it only comes now if I cry a lot.
Mummy, daddy and me got to go to a nice wedding of a friend of mummys and I met Connor, JOrdan's mummy was there but Jordan stayed with his grandma, I still go everywhere with mummy or daddy. I don't have much else to tell you, it isn't long now till I go to Queensland, it is a ;ong way away.
Must go and have supper so I can go to bed, talk to you soon,
Moses
P.S. I turned 7 months old yesterday that is old.

Lots to tell you

2008-11-09T23:08:00.001+10:30

Well I know that I have been slack recently so I now have a lot to tell you. Since starting my solid food I have decided that I can eat whatever mummy and daddy are eating, it gets a bit annoying when they tell me that I have to wait until I'm older to try curries and steak I don't understand I could manage I'm sure. Today mummy gave me some food with bits in it and it was really nice because it was soft I still don't have teeth. I also enjoy the rusks that nana bought me I ate a 1/2 one today during church.
I have been a bit naughty though because I often get up overnight it's not my fault that daddy wakes me up when he gets up to get ready for work at 4am!!
Yesteday was a really exciting day for me I got to go into the city and see Santa Clasu arrive, well I slept through this bit but mummy and daddy assure me that he is here and they will be putting up some pretty trees soon with nice decorations for me to try and crawl and reach. I'm still not crawling but I do move around a lot on the floor. My favourite thing at the moment is lying on my back and sucking my toes I even do that during nappy changes to annoy daddy, mummy just works around my bent legs. Anyway before I went to sleep I saw some different big things like a giant cupcake cake and I saw lots of clowns that were funny and some people playing music. After the show mummy and daddy and myself went to mummys favourite store, had some lunch and then came home on the bus, it was a good morning then last night I went out with daddy so some friends could raise some money to go on a missions trip to somewhere called Romania so daddy got to try Romanian food but mummy had to go to work.
Another thing I did was go shopping with mummy, her friend Natalse and my friend Jordan. Mummy got a bit mad with me though because each time she went into a shop I would start crying and as soom as we came out I'd be quiet. I did this until I had a feed and then slept for a little bit. We were shopping ALL DAY and then mummy decided to visit Auntie Chrissie on the way home, that was my first visit to Auntie Karen and cousin Emily's house (Auntie Chrissie lives there until she gets married next year, then she's moving in with Uncle Daniel). Mummy says that she has to still get shoes to match her dress and she might go to other shops tomorrow but first she has to let the mean lady give me injections so if I'm not well she will wait to get new shoes.
Can't think of anything else to tell you , I might get to meet another baby called Connor on Saturday at a wedding mummy and daddy are going to. Not long till I ge tto meet other people like grandad Garland and Auntie Stef and Uncle Ben and a lot of otehr people that licve a long car trip away, I can't wait and then it is something called Christmas, mummy says that is when baby Jesus was born and one day I'll understand all about it.
Well should go I'm sure you've all had a lot to read, will catch up soon,
Moses

Solid food

2008-10-17T15:33:00.003+10:30

Yesterday mummy tries something new with me she called it solid food but it looked like liquid to me, I'm not sure that I like it but mummy tells me that I will be eating it a lot now and only 6 months until I won't get my milk from her. I kept spitting it out as quick as mum put it in my mouth, it was vegetables and rice but it was all smooth, I will try some more tomorrow because mummy is going out tonight and she is going to try me in the afternoon when her and daddy have their teatime. Mummy promises that I will soon like to eat and feed myself but that is when I can make a big mess for her to clean up, especially spaghetti I've heard that is hard to clean. Must go speak to you soon,
Moses

New friend

2008-10-13T21:49:00.002+10:30

Hi all,
I know that I promised to post this weekly but each time I remembered mummy and daddy said that they were too busy to set the computer up for me to use. Well I finally got them to let me on. Yesterday I go to make a new friend. His name is Jordan and he is only 1 week older than me but a lot bigger, he kept pulling at my ear and bib I think he was trying to be friendly. His mummy and my mummy work together so I'm sure that we will see a lot of each other. I still have to meet another boy who is younger than me, mummy says that she will try to catch up with his mummy next week, his name is Connor and again his mummy and my mummy work together. Again I haven't done much other than stay at hoe or go to the local shops with mummy or daddy. I enjoy going out with daddy because he puts me in my carrier and carries me on his chest which I like. I'm now in my big boy car seat which is good because I can now see out the windows at other things than just the sky. I really enjoy car trips now more than I used to. I'm still waking up overnight but my friend Jordan does that, mummy thinks it might be my teeth really starting to hurt they are due to come through soon, I drool a lot and have bright, rosy cheeks. On Saturday just gone I get lots of cuddles because mummy's work had on a big sale so daddy took me and then mummy let some of the people there hold me, it made them happy they love it when I visit even if they are already in bed, I still get cuddles. Well must go to bed mummy is hoping that I will sleep through since I stayed up a bit later. Talk to you soon
Moses

Naughty boy

2008-09-30T20:19:00.002+09:30

Well as I said I go to go on a walk with mummy last week to her work where I got to see my 'great-grandma' again and Mrs DON. I then got to see lots of people. I was naughty that night though I wouldn't sleep in my cot because too much had happened to me during the day. Then I got really confused because mummy went to work on Thursday not Friday but it was ok because nana and grandad baby-sat me until daddy could pick me up. On Saturday I got to be babysat by Auntie Jewlz because daddy was helping some people move into a brand new house it has 2 levels to it. We have had some really hot weather so some days I've just been in my nappy and sometimes a vest but it has gone cool again so I wear clothes I know why mummy doesn't like the heat. Tomorrow mummy has to go to do some training at work I went with her on Monday and got sooky part-way throught so tomorrow I'm being babysat by nana and grandad because tomorrow is all about giving people medicine so mummy has to be able to concentrate so she doesn't ever get into trouble. I can't really think of anything else that has happened other then I've been a really naught boy just recently waking up part-way throught the night and then not going back to bed in my cot and it happens after mummy has been at work so she is too tired to stay up with me. Tonight she says that I will be put back into my cot if I wake up, I'm going through a growth spurt and enjoy eating too much.
Must go to bed now, I'll probably just write once a week as I don't do much at the moment it will get more often at Christmas as I'm going away then.
Hope you enjoy this entry,
Moses

5 months

2008-09-24T08:47:00.003+09:30

Today is a very big day for me because I'm officially 5 months old. To mark this momentous occasion mummy plans to take me on a walk in my pram. I enjoy pram walks because I'm now allowed to sit up and look at everything around me rather than having to lie down. I had to lie down until I could support my neck. Mummy likes to take me on walks, last week I went to visit a baby 1 month older than me and I was taller, then next week mummy tells me that I might be meeting a baby 1 week older than myself and a few months younger, mummy has lots of friends who were pregnant at the same time. On another note, my life has quieted down since the visitors left and it has gone back to normal ie visit nana and grandad on Wednesday then be babysat sometimes so mummy can go to work. I enjoy having my routine back to normal.
Must go and rest I'm getting sooky,
Talk to you soon,
Moses
P.S. Check out mosesagarland on Youtube I'll get daddy to put up more videos soon, maybe the one of me rolling over I'm really proud of that!!

Visitors

2008-09-10T11:45:00.002+09:30

Well I know it has been a long time since I last wrote but I've been really busy with visitors at my house 7 people in total. They call themselves my grandma and auntie and uncles, auntie Mel, uncle Eric and Uncle Brian plus 3 other people but I don't have to use titles with them. Let me try to remember everything that happened. Firstly they arrived from somewhere called Queensland and got me really upset becuse my quiet world was suddenly shattered by grandma and auntie Mel running in to see me then it was noisy all week. They arrived on a Saturday and daddy was at home, mummy was at work. On Sundy it was a normal day, we went to church then out to lunch then home for the afternoon. On Monday daddy took them to do some shopping then we went out because mummy had to see the lady about her sore eye again then daddy stayed home from puppets. Tuesday I went out to the shops with mummy, grandma, Uncle Eric and Jacinta. On Wednesday we went to Victor Harbour and went for a walk around a place called Granite Island, but to get to Granite Island we got to go on a real live horse tram, they were big horses and I got scared. Then Thursday I stayed home but grandma and Auntie Mel went to a big place that I got to go on Monday, it is called Harbour Town. Mean mummy let a lady stick some needles in me on Thursday but this time I didn't sook as much this time. On Friday we went to a busy place called the Royal Adelaide Show, I go to go on a train for the first time and I really like it. The show was busy I had to stay in my pram most of the day, the only time I got out was for a feed and at teh end of the day when I wanted to sleep and some young girls kept squueling and waking me up again. One time when mummy took me into a room for a feed she went to shut the curtain and the rod fell down and got me in the face just above my eye, mummy is glad it wasn't in my eye I didn't even get a bruise thankfully. We wnet in lots of places my favourite one was a place with lots of bags for sale, I didn't get one this year because I couldn't tell mummy and daddy whichone I wanted I did get a free on though.We alsogot to see pig racing and diving and lots of other things. I didn't go on any rides becasue there wasn't time and I probably wouldn't remember it anyway. There was also a problem at the end of the show where it went all dark for aqbout 1/2 hour then people came to fix it up. I got to see the sky turn good colours it was pretty. then on the way home 2 ladies got in an argument on the train so daddy told an off-duty security guard and the train driver also heard so called the train security people they were big scary men. I think that is about all that happened. Then Saturday morning daddy dropped his car off at grandad's because some meant people broke a window in it and it needed fixing. So grandad, Uncle Eric and Simon foxed his car window and alarm while daddy, mummy, grandma, Auntie Mel and I went to Koorong. Mummy was very good she didn't buy too many books. Mummy htne had to go ot work. On sunday it was church in the morning tehn we went to visit nana and grandad in the afternoon and everybody else went to see some other friends. On Monday mummy, grandma and me went to Harbour Town and a Christmas store. And after I went to bed Monday night they were gone, they got up early Tuesday and left without waking me up. Mummy promises me that I'll see them again at Christmas but now my routine is being re-established properly, I didn't sleep well when they were here, I was back in my basinette in mummy and daddy's room but now I'm in my big boy cot and mummy is making sure that I sleep when I'm meant to and eat when I'm meant to. I was a good boy last night I went to sleep at the right time, I did wake up early today but then went back asleep again, mummy is hoping that it won't take long to get my routine back on track.
Well, I must go sorry this has been so long but as you can tell from my busy week when was I meant to write anything between outings, eating and sleeping I didn't have any spare time. My next entry won't be as long,
Talk to you soon

Bored Life

2008-08-22T11:59:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I thought I'd let you know that I am still around but I have had a boring life recently. All I've done is the usual stay at home, visit nana and grandad and go to church and shoppig centre. Actually I just remembered I went out with mummy Monday night to see some nice clothes but mummy didn't buy any, she wants to save money. It's still been cold and rainy so mummy hasn't even been able to take me out in my pram for walks. Mummy and daddy say we need the rain so mummy doesn't mind being at home with me. Daddy tells me that yesterday grandma and the others left Queensland to visit us and they are taking a long time as they want to visit people on the way here, I finally meet them next weekend.
On a plus note I rolled from my belly onto my back today, I've been trying for a long time and as soon as mummy put me down I did it for her.
Must go and have a rest now I'm all tired out.
Talk to you soon,
Moses

People know me

2008-08-16T22:15:00.002+09:30

Hiya,
Just thought I'd tell you that I'm still around. I love to have people know that I'm around when in big groups as was evidenced on Wednesday at Bible Study when I decided to fill my nappy, everybody knew I was present and then I started to rest. On Thursday at another Bible Study I decided to be sooky so daddy nded up standing up with me to keep me from sooking too much. I don't like it at the shops though because they are s loud that people don't hear me sooking of filling my nappy. My life is now in a good routine I generally stay home Monday and Tuesday then get to go out Wednesday and Thursday and have nana and grandad babysit me Friday between mummy going to work and daddy finishing work, then I get to spend Saturday afternoon with daddy and Sunday is church 1 or 2 times. I've also started to sleep in my big boy cot so I'm not in mummy and daddy's room anymore but that is ok because they leave the passage light on until I'm asleep and thne they must turn it off because it is off each morning whrn I wake up. They also have a monitor in my room and their room so if I wake up scared overnight I just have to cry and they still hear me. Must go and get some sleep I have church 1 time tomorrow but a busy afternoon mummy is having a party liekan aromatherapy party but it is a different name so I get to have lots of hugs.
Talk to you soon,

2 baths in 1 day

2008-08-10T18:48:00.002+09:30

Hiya,
Well, today mummy had to give me baths within 10 minutes of each other. She had given me my first bath, had put my special cream on my neck and put moisturiser on my bottom then my nappy on. Then she put moisturiser on my stomach, arms and legs and sat me up to moisturise my back and I did a huge vomit all over myself so it was time to have a bath again. The next time I didn't vomit though and was able to get dressed for churchg and then mummy got herself ready. I didn't get mummy with my vomit but it was quite spectacular the amount and force. Other than that this week has been boring. It was mummy's birthday on Wednesday so my present to her was to wee on er after giving me a bath and then to vomit down her top as she carried me to my capsule and to continue to spill up my milk enough to make her change me, I had 3 tops changes in 15 minutes!! Then we went to the centre and had to dodge rain drops and then to Munno Para and agian had to dodge rain drops but then we went to nana and grandad's but didn't have to doge rain drops. I'm starting to enjoy Saturday's because mummy works and so I go shopping with daddy and he carries me in my Tomi which straps onto his stomach and I get carried in that rather than my pram. I must go now, this entry is long enough.
See ya later,
Moses

Busy days

2008-08-04T22:22:00.002+09:30

Hi,
I've been busy just recently. Om Friday mean mummy woke me up early because she had to go to work for training it was a long way away with a drive and mummy took a wrong turn so we got lost but still got to the training on time. I was a bit sooky so mummy had to keep taking me out of the room so will get a video to watch. On Saturday daddy took me to see the burning bush (bonfire) so my Biblical experience is now over. It was a big bush but daddy didnt toast ant marshmallows which mummy says are very yummy.
I've been a lot sooky recently, mummy thinks I'm getting teeth I have all the classic symptoms the rosy cheeks, dribbling, sucking fists and some white marks on my top gum. Must go and try to get some sleep I haven't been sleeping well.
Moses

Lazy Days

2008-07-29T19:46:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I know it's been a week so I'll try to remember all that has happened which won't be hard. Last week daddy had his test at Tai Kwon Doe and he passed it, I got upset so mummy had to take me out and missed seeing daddy break wood with his hands. On Thursday I got to go to Bible College at church for the course mummy and daddy are doing and then on Sunday it was to church two times. It was also Auntie Chrissie's birthday so we spent a lot of time looking for a present for her which we finally got. I've been a bit good and a bit bad recently. I'm good because I'm sleeping all night but I'm bad becasue I won't rest during the day and when I'm meant to have a sleep before supper I won't go down easily mummy and daddy just put me in my basinette rock me a bit and leave me to sleep. I have been to see mummy at work last weekend because she didn't have enough milk to leave with daddy so he had to take me to her work for her to feed me on her break. Other than that I've been staying at home because it has been cold and wet outside. Must go and try to rest a bit before supper. I'll be putting up some more photos soon mummy gets them tomorrow, then we will be going to Koorong once it is drier. Grandma and the others arrive in 1 month I will finally get to meet them and mummy promises that we will be going to a big show I might get to go on a ride if mummy and daddy are allowed on with me and I get to see some pigs racing that will be fun (even though I don't know what pigs are)

Boring days

2008-07-22T01:47:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Just thought I'd let you know that I haven't forgotten about you it's just that I haven't done anything interesting or readworthy recently. Life might get more interesting now that school holdays are over and all the Bible study groups etc have recommenced. Tonight I get to go and watch daddy try for his green tip in Tai Kwon Do, well I will if I'm a good boy for mummy during the day. Mummy went to the doctor again yesterday because her eye is not better and the doctor said that it wasn't an infection but a corneal ulcer (whatever that is) and he has put her on some eye drops, but this time mummy is waiting until she sees someone called an optometrist and is going to get a 2nd opinion before wasting money, her eye is still sore and red. Well can't think of anything else, I'll let you knoe how my daddy goes after his test tonight.
Talk to you soon,

Blown globes

2008-07-15T19:50:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Well today was a very scary day. Mummy turned her bedroom light on in the morning and the globe went pop and flew out if the socket onto their bed, it even looked like it had a mini-fire in it. Then no lights worked until daddy went outside and flipped a switch, he said it was a blown fuse. Mummy has never seen a globe go out so spectacularly, she's glad for fuse breakers otherwise we might have gotten hurt. Then tonight when she turned on her bedside lamp for me that globe went out as well but not as bad as this morning. Other than that all that's happened is I went to the doctor with mummy so he could look at her sore eye (she has an infection and is on antibiotics). The doctor couldn't give her eye drops because I still get my food from her, the antibiotics might give me a sore tummy but they are safe for me. Tomorrow I'm going to look at food on special and mummy is going to buy some more stuff. Must go and try to sleep, I have been kept awake most of the day because I've recently been waking up overnight again but only if I sleep a lot during the day.
Talk to you again,

Sooky day again

2008-07-14T21:59:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Well today I've been really sooky if I wasn't in mummy's arms I would be crying. At one stage I fell asleep so mean mummy put me in my capsule and then went to do dishes with the result that I woke up alone and got really worried. Mummy thinks that I had an upset belly which she hopes is clear and I will sleep tonight, the last 2 nights I've woken up overnight but Saturday it was expected because I had a feed at 8:30 and then went fast asleep so mummy didn't want to wake me up when she got home from work.
One thing did confuse me today mummy felt cold so she made me put a hat on, she said something about her having hair and me not having any and said my head and face felt a bit cold. After that though I did feel a bit warmer and mummy kept me in a blanket all day because I didn't have a vest on because I have a rash where my vest normally is. I didn't go out today but tomorrow mummy has to go and see the Dr because her eye is sore and red and everybody tells her she should have it looked at and then she might take me to see nana and grandad. Mummy is taking me to Koorong again on Thursday to buy me a Bible for my first birthday it is a full Bible not a story-book Bible. I can't wait this time I get to go on the train. Well that is all, I better go to bed and try to sleep all night to make mummy and daddy happy.

Hospital visit

2008-07-09T23:00:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Well I'm going to tell you about my mean mummy. Last night I was hungry 1 hour after I was put in my basinette so I cried and mummy got me up to feed me but she was cold and tired so decided that she was going to give me some food in her bed and then fell asleep with me drinking. At 3:30 am she rolled over and I was in her arms and fell off the bed onto the floor. I landed on some towels and so didn't hurt myself but mummy and daddy still took me to the hospital and mummy gave me lots of food to keep me happy. Mummy did check me before the hospital and didn't feel any injuries (the old people mummy works with are always falling over so mummy is used to checking people for injuries) but they wanted a doctor to check if I had a bad hurt to my head (thankfully not). At the hospital the doctor in a place called emergency (I previously hadn't been to that part of the hospital) took my nappy off even after mummy warned him I take aim, and I scored. We had to stay a long time at the hospital until 10:30am I slept a little bit and so did daddy but mummy didn't sleep (she dozed on and off), each time I moaned she woke up. We had to stay a little while in a place called the Childrens ward but I got one of my nursery beds and I'm a big boy, I was almost too tall for the baby bed. The doctor asked mummy what she had learned and she's decided that even if it is 0 degrees she will get me up and go into the lounge to prevent falling asleep again but all the staff were nice and reassured mummy that it has happened to a lot of people. Anyway I've been sooky a lot of today and have only slept for short times. I did get to go to work with mummy because she had compulsory training and I needed a feed, I liked that I got to hear all about medicines and had a little girl say she liked me and then got lots of cuddles and a nice new jacket, I like getting presents. Must go and get some sleep so mummy doesn't get sleep deprived I've been promised that I won't fall tonight and I'll let you know if I get an egg on my head so far there is nothing, not even a bruise.

Nice dresses

2008-07-07T15:11:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Again my life has been boring, I've not done much. Last Wednesday I went out for a day with mummy, nana and Auntie Chrissie and we had a look at some nice dresses that mummy calls wedding dresses for Auntie Chrissie, she looked very nice in all of them but chose only one to buy. It is very nice but I can't say too much in case Uncle Daniel reads this I'll just say it was very hard for her to decide. Mummy says that I will never need a dress, instead I'll need a tuxedo. Auntie Chrissie is getting married next year I don't understand about it but mummy assures me I'll understand when I'm older. Mummy wants to hire me a tuxedo for the wedding but it is almost $200which everybody says is too expensive, Auntie Karen has offered to sew me one if mummy gets a pattern and material, so we'll probably do that unless we can find one cheap in the January sales. Other than that I haven't done much else, last night I went out for tea with the family for nana's birthday and I slept through the night so mummy and daddy had a good time. Tomorrow I go see a nurse to have my 8-week check-up even though I'm almost 10 weeks old, I was meant to go last Wednesday but was too busy looking at nice dresses. Other than that I've not done anything other than stay at home it's a bit too cold and wet to go outside at the moment.
Mummy started back at work last week so I get to go to nana and grandad's house for a bit and then get to spend a whole day with my daddy. It is good fun when nana changed my nappy I decided to put on a display for her and show her how little men go to the toilet when they have no nappy on. I also get to have my milk from a bottle again it tastes just the same as when I get it from mummy. Must go and have a sleep all I do is sleep and eat, roll on getting older so I can more and tell you about all the exciting things I do like go to kindy, kindergym and eventually school.
Love to all,
Moses

Away again

2008-06-30T21:19:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Well I know it's been a while since I left you a message but I haven't done anything recently. On the weekend I went on a Bile study camp with mummy and daddy we drove a long time then ended up in a place called Victor Harbor. I enjoyed it because mummy daddy and me had our own room. Auntie Jewlz, Auntie Steph, Auntie Leah, Auntie Nahum and all the other girls had to share a big room and all the boys had to share a big room, mummy calls them dorms and says that I'll stay in them at school camps. It was very good because mummy and daddy didn't have to do dishes and I got lots of cuddles when the studies weren't on. We were there for 3 days and 2 nights. Mr. Henry was funny, he can't see colours properly and tried to tell us thst the colour orange was green. Other than my weekend away I haven't done anything. Mummy promises me that we aren't going away again until Christmas, but she says that my other grandma is going to visit soon, along with Uncle Eric, Auntie Mel and Uncle Brian, I think they'll like me as long as I continue to sleep overnight, I sometimes wake up early for a feed but then go straight back to bed, better go it's time for supper. Will talk to you soon,
Moses

Sooky day

2008-06-24T20:11:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Well I got back at mummy for letting the lady give me nasty injections yesterday, I woke up at 4am for a feed and then have been crying the rest of the day except when I've been eating (well most of the time I've been upset, I'm happy if I'm in the car and in motion, I don't like stopping for lights). Mummy had to take me to nana and grandad's because she doesn't like it when I'm sooky and won't stop sooking. Daddy even stayed home from Tai Kwon Do tonight because I am good for him as I only see him a little bit at night when he doesn't have to go to something called work. Mummy hopes that I sleep good tonight and she is going to be mean and ask the lady to give me less next time so that I won't get as sooky but that means that I'll have to have more needles, mummy says that needles are ok she had to have a lot when she was young and she doesn't even flinch now when someone has to give her a needle.
Must go and try to settle for mummy and daddy, mummy wants to make a banana cake I'm not sure what that is but it sounds nice and I'll get it for breakfast in her milk.
Talk to you soon,

Mean mummy

2008-06-23T21:31:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Mummy and daddy are in for a sleepless night tonight because I'm going to stay awake to be mean back to mummy because she was very mean to me today. She took me to see a lady she called a nurse and I don't like her because she gave me some yucky stuff to eat then she gave me a needle in both legs. Mummy says it is to prevent me getting sick later in life, all I know is it hurt a lot but I've been given a lot of cuddles since then so maybe it isn't too bad. I also got lots of presents today and it isn't even my birthday or Christmas. This is because Auntie Chrissie got back from the place called England and had lots of presents from people called my cousins who don't even know me! Other than that I've done done a lot, I'm getting more comfotable in church, everybody knows I was there yesterday because I did a big 'bumb burpie'. People 2-3 rows away heard me then I fell back asleep again, Auntie Kaz calls me a typical male but I'm only a baby I'll soon learn correct church etiquette. Must go and prevent mummy and daddy doing any house work (mummy has a lot of washing and ironing to do tonight).
Talk to you soon, I'll let you know how my legs are soon.

Bye to way I turn two months old tomorrow.

Home again

2008-06-21T20:22:00.003+09:30

Hi All
Well we are home again but let me tell you what we did the day before we came home (Thursday). Mummy and daddy took me to see some Platypus and Echidnas, the Echidnas were walking around the room and they walked right up to us and squeezed in between mummy and daddy (daddy got a video of them and hopes to put them on line tomorrow). Then we walked next door and saw some really strange animals that were underwater but they are called horses (seahorses), mummy says I can get one when I get older. Then we headed back to Hobart so we could get on the plane on Friday to come home WOOHOOO. Daddy was getting really worried cause the plane was coming in late which ment that daddy was going to get home late and he had to be home at a certain time or he was in trouble (we did make it in time). We didn't do much today, we went out to dinner tonight with Nana and Grandad, Cousin Emily, and Aunty Kaz and Uncle Russell.
Well talk to you later

Another Day on Holiday

2008-06-18T21:17:00.003+09:30

Hi All
Well this holiday thing is getting annoying I'm forgetting what day it is and what I did, so this is what daddy said I did today. First we went to another Chocolate factory called Anvers it wasn't as good as the Cadbury Factory but mummy and daddy said that the food was good. Second we went to a cheese factory and daddy bought some cheese with chilli, they had some really weird cows that were not at all like our cows at home (checkout my youtube to see them). Third was the Raspberry farm but that was really boring, only a restaurant. Then we went to have another photo taken at King Solomons Cave, but we didn't go in it was too expensive (and mummy and daddy only wanted a photo of the sign). After the photo we stopped in a little town that had a shop daddy had too see, it had all these christmas lights and trees (mummy had to remind daddy that we have a limit on how much we can take on the plane). After that mummy and daddy went to Launceston to park for the night so I can have a decent nights sleep.
Well I think that's all we did today.
Talk to you tomorrow

I made it to Promised Land

2008-06-17T18:31:00.005+09:30

This is a photo proving I was at Promised Land

Hi all
Mummy and daddy tell me that Moses got to the Promised Land but then spent 40 yrs wandering in circles in the wilderness, well I just spent 40 minutes in the car and made it into Promised Land, as for the wandering in circles bit, mummy and daddy made sure I did that, we wandered through trees, doors, over fences, through little towns with silly names and silly buildings (Cubby House town, village of Lower Crackpot), but no matter where we went we seemed to end up back where we started. Any sane person would say that's it lets go, but nooo my mummy and daddy head straight back in again for more wandering through trees and finding the 3 bears house, Humpty Dumpty (he was pushed), a kitchen sink, a pot of gold, the Lower Crackpot Correctional Facility, and back out again for lunch and you wouldn't beleive it but we went back for more. We saw the crapper memorial for Thomas Crapper (apparently he invented the toilet whatever that is), the house that isn't there, and lots of silly signs like "A woman's favourite colour is Chocolate, A man's favourite colour is Blonde" (what does that mean) and "A dyslexic atheist doesn't believe there is a dog". Anyway mummy and daddy dragged me around in circles all day.
well that's all for now talk to you tomorrow (and if daddy can keep his hands on the right cable we will add video to youtube tomorrow).

Around the world in a campervan

2008-06-16T21:15:00.007+09:30

Hi all
Today has been the biggest day of my life, and mummy and daddy wonder why I've been crying and hungry a lot, I'll tell you what today has been like. First we didn't even get out of the Pirates Cove caravan park before daddy had mummy holding me up to a hole in the fence so he could take a photo, daddy said on the other side it made me look like I was a pirate. Then we went to this place called the Cadbury chocolate factory we got free chocolate when we walked in and I got to have a photo with freddo frog, mummy and daddy sat and watched a dvd about making chocolate (I sat having a feed) and listened to a lady telling them that you only get enough chocolate out of the cocoa nut to make 1 freddo frog, I thought it was really boring so I made two loud bumburps, that made some people near mummy and daddy laugh, then we went out to the shop and mummy and daddy said it was really good you can get $200 worth of chocolate for $40 they said all the chocolate was really cheap (and they got to enter a competion to win a 10kg block of chocolate) but everything else was really expensive, then we left Cadbury's (oh yeah and we all got a free box of cadbury's favourites on the way out), and that's when daddy showed how good he was at driving. We headed north and I started getting hungry so dad stopped at Jericho so I could have some afternoon tea and dad said I HAD to have a photo to prove I was in Jericho, then on to the next stop, an unexpected one. Daddy had to turn around and go back, for another photo, this time on the Jordan River (I really wish he wouldn't take so many photo's I think he might be planning to use them when I get older) then back in the van and off again, passing the turn off for Nile (possibly river it didn't say) going through Bagdad (no Photo), Perth (Dad took a photo but me and mum stayed in the car Play Wink) and stopping in Deloraine Tasmania, soo many time zones and they wonder why I'm hungry a lot and a little bit sooky, and they tell me tomorrow we're off to Promised Land, How far away is that??
Dad says the funniest thing I did today was scare myself awake when I did a bumburp (I don't think it was funny but daddy did).
Well that's all for today dad said he would upload photos here as soon as possible and video on youtube just search for mosesagarland.
See you there.

New church

2008-06-15T20:17:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
Well as you read yesterday I'm on holiday with mummy and daddy so today we went to a different church to usual and guess what the people there are the same as at my normal church, everybody wanted to meet me and give me cuddles, I don't mind all the attention. We even met somebody who's daddy used to go to my church I go all the way over the ocean and still people know of my church. I let everybody know I was at church by filling my nappy half-way through the sermon, but I was a good boy, today was the first full sermon mummy has been able to listen to since I was born because I slept right through. We then went out for lunch (not fair mummy had curry and all I get is milk) and then shopping and after the shopping we went to find a chocolate factory to visit tomorrow. Then we went to find somewhere to park our 'home' for the night. I've been a bit sooky today but that is because I don't know where I am and I'm not even in my own capsule this one feels different to usual, I don't like this holidaying much, I don't get as many cuddles and mummy and daddy are sitting far away from me so I'm all lonely all I get to look at is a wood wall at least in mummy's car I can see out the back window. Well that's all for now I'll tell you all about the yummy chocolate tomorrow night,
Bye for now,
Moses

My First Holiday

2008-06-14T20:10:00.003+09:30

Hi all!
Well I had a big day today mum and dad have taken me on what they call a holiday, we went on a big plane, everyone says it's scarey but it was ok I slept for the whole flight mummy and daddy says that it can hurt your ears but I didn't get hurt then when we got off the plane we was in Tasmania. Then mummy and daddy went to get our bags and as we were walking out of the baggage area mummy walked up to a glass wall and couldn't understand why the wall didn't open, so daddy and me told her that she had to walk around the wall (and another lady who was standing near the wall started laughing). Mummy and daddy have a campervan to travel in, I'm a bit scared of it cause my seat isn't the same and I don't have my normal bed.
Daddy is making mummy pay for everything cause he left his card at home.
Mummy and daddy are hoping to take me to the Promised Land while we are here, I have no idea what the big fuss is.
Well that's all for today will talk to you and try to put some photos in tomorrow,
Moses

Mouth noises

2008-06-12T20:57:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
I know that I've already posted today but I just remembered that I gave daddy a scare overnight. He said that about 4am he heard a door creaking and then realised it was me. I'm still in my bassinette in mummy and daddy's room so that mummy can hear me if I cry overnight, daddy doesn't hear me cry but mummy didn't hear my creaking noise, maybe I'll be a musician when I grow up.
Bye again, Moses

Naughty boy

2008-06-12T12:00:00.004+09:30

Hiya,

Yesterday I was a naughty boy, mummy had just taken off my nappy and was wiping me with some wet material cloth when I decided that I needed to do a wee wee so I weed all over her clothes but the badder thing was she was due to go to work for training in 20 minutes and we weren't even at home we were at nana and grandad's house so they could look after me, luckily nana had some clean clothes mummy could put on (the training was compulsory, mummy had to learn how to hit people in the chest and kiss them if they have a heart attack). I've had some more new exeriences recently. On Tuesday night I went to watch daddy learn how to attack people (TaeKwonDoe) and then yesterday I went to watch cousin Emily hit a ball over a net (tennis). Mummy has said when I'm older that I can play tennis and make lots of money. I like that idea I can pay off mummy and daddy's house and also it doesn't matter how expensive it is to fly I can go first class. I then also get to travel around the world and meet family and friends in other countries that would be such good fun. I've decided to put up some new pictures of me when I was first born and having my first bath (embarrassing because you can see my boy parts). Must go help mummy peg out washing and clean floors, well I'll sit in my capsule and watch. I'm getting to be a big boy now my 0000 clothes are too small (except the suit Auntie Chrissie got me) but 000 are a little big, I'm too tall for the 0000 clothes now.

Bye for now,

Moses

Spectacular sickies

2008-06-09T21:48:00.003+09:30

Hiya all,

Well as you can tell from my title I've had a few good sickies recently. One day (maybe Saturday) I started and finished the day the same way. Mummy got me up to feed me and then I sicked up on her down her top then she put me up on her shoulder and I sicked up on her again. At the end of the day she gave me my last night feed and I sicked up on her shoulder again so I started and ended the day the same way. Mummy not happy she is getting low on clothes because she is not able to hang outside due to rain.

Today mummy had to go to work because it was something called a public holiday so she gets lots of money so I got to stay at home with daddy. He got to feed me and look after me all day. We had a busy day, daddy put together the wardrobe he bought the other day and guess what! They left a door out of the package so daddy has to go back there again to get the door, mummy is not putting anything in there because they might want daddy to take it apart and take it back.

Tonight I went to puppets again and they are very good, they give me the stimulation I need. I liked seeing them I couldn't even tell which one was daddy because he changes his voice.

Mummy is happy with me now because I sleep a lot overnight I will let her get abot 7 hours sleep and then I get a really good feed and she isn't tired so doesn't tell me off if I'm naughty and won't go to sleep when I'm meant to. I must go now it's almost bedtime. As promised earlier here is the photo of me in mummy's belly which was lots of fun.

Love to all my family that are far away some in Queensland and lots in England at least not long now till Auntie Chrissie gets home and hopefully some day I get to meet my cousins and aunties and uncles, I don't know who they are but if they are related to mummy and nana and grandad they must be good.

Love ya lots,

Moses

2008-06-06T00:37:00.003+09:30

Auntie Mel from someplace far away (mummy calls it Queensland) wants some more pitures so mummy will try to put up some that were taken when I turned a month old and some at other times. More will go up tomottow when I'm not tired, there might even b

e one of mummy with me still in her belly which I liked I didn't have to work to get my food and got to be awake and asleep when I wanted not when mummy and daddy want

Good aim

2008-06-05T23:55:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Well today I went to have my 6 week check up at the doctor and you guessed it from the title let's just say that he is a nice doctor and not sending mummy and daddy the dry cleaning bill. It's not my fault that he took my nice warm nappy off and started to push on my belly I had to wee all over his suit sleeve. I also got something today called a script because I have developed a rash on my face and head that he called eczema (xma) or at least I think that's what he called it. I'm not allowed my nice baby bath I have to use something called sorbolene nana bought me a tube and mummy has been putting it on my face regularly because I have lots of dry scaly skin because of my rash. I still don't have much to say because my life has a regular routine now I either stay at home or sometimes visit nana and grandad and my cousin Emily, especially when mummy wants to excercise that is my favourite I get to lie in my pram and have a look at different things mummy wants me to get stimulation, but the weather is going to give us some rain soon we hope but that means that mummy has to drive because she doesn't want me to get wet, I don't know why she is happy enough to wet me in the bath. Daddy bought me a new wardrobe today so mummy can sort out all the clothes some nice friends gave us. Not much more to say so will close now and talk after my life has some changes in it, can't wait for you to get home Auntie Chrissie lots of kisses sent your way and love you lots.

Helping daddy

2008-06-02T22:22:00.003+09:30

Hiya again,
Today I went out to help daddy with his job, well I slept in the car while daddy worked except for at a tall building which mummy also goes in to stop doors closing on a box machine (a lift). I got to go in with mummy and daddy this time. Then we went to daddy's work to have a machine (2-way radio) taken out of mummy's car and then we went to buy daddy's new work van. Then we went to a shop which mummy and daddy like called IKEA because we had to wait 2 hours for daddy's work to fit his new radio in his van. I liked IKEA because mummy gave me a proper feed and then I enjoyed looking at all the furniture. I even got to go on something called a slide I didn't like it much and daddy helped me down it. They did have some nice night lights though so mummy and daddy might buy me one so I can sleep in my own room. Then mummy and me had to leave daddy at his work and go to have the car checked so that mummy can get it fixed which is free for her and daddy. Then I went to the shops with mummy after that I came home and then tonight went out to puppets. Other than that I haven't done much and don't have any plans for anything soon so will probably be quiet for a few days, life is settling into a good routine now. Must go and have a nappy change, talk again whenever,
Moses
P.S. I will put up some more photos again soon.

New places

2008-06-02T01:04:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
I don't know if I told you on Friday that daddy's car got hit by some man who didn't want to stop at traffic lights but daddy is ok except for a bruise on his leg. The car looks hurt though, daddy says it needs a new bumper at the back and the boot realigned, all I know is mummy and daddy have to bang the thing called the boot hard to get it to shut. On Saturday mummy and daddy took me out almost all day. They first went to a store to get mummy some new clothes then they took me to look at a new car for daddy,I think he calls it a van so that he can work and give mummy a car to take me out in then we went to another shops so mummy could look for a new top (I vomitted on her top) then we went somewhere called the Adelaise showgrounds (mummy and daddy told me that they have a big show there soon amd I'll be going). Anyway daddy wanted to see something called the Eco living show, I don't know mummy and me didn't go in because there wasn't a lot of time and mummy had to feed me. Then she had to change me in a big hall because there was no toilet with a change table for me, it could've been very embarassing but nobody went past thankfully. We then came home. Today muumy and me might go to work with daddy if I'm a good boy and finish eating in time, then we can go and pick up daddy's 'new' old van, then later today we have to take mummy's 'new' car to have a man tell them how bad the damage is but mummy and daddy don't have to pay because it wasn't daddy's fault. It will cost the other man a lot because daddy says the car has something called metallic paint and it is hard to get the same colour. Must go and try to get some sleep, mummy has just fed me again, I like this life all I do is sleep and eat, even when I make a mess I don't have to clean it up mummy and daddy do, soon nana and grandad will have to when mummy starts work again I will be going to their place for a bit of time Friday and they will have to change my nappy if I make a mess.
I was a bit naught overnight, I got up twice for some food and after my second feed I didn't want to go back to sleep so mummy was awake from 5:30 until 7am when I decided that I would have a rest on her stomach so she could get a little bit more sleep. Daddy thinks I was unsettled because my ring from the little operation I had fell off, I think I was unsettled because I wanted lots of hugs from mummy she has figured out how to make me go to sleep even if I don't want to, I lie on her stomach with my head resting near her heart, her heart beating reminds me of before I was born and could hear her heart.
Enjoy England Auntie Chrissie, give all my relatives a big hug and kiss from me and mummy.

Mt busy day

2008-05-31T01:09:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I know that I haven't written recently but that's because I haven't done anything until today. Today I went into a big place that mummy called the city, it took a long time to get there on the bus but it was ok even though I was hungry. We had to go to a few places so that mummy could get a birth certificate for me and also to put an advert in the paper to let everybody know that I was born. She also wanted to buy a book that will tell me what happened this year. Mummy and daddy also bought a paper the day I was born so I can find out what happened that day. The last thing we had to do was go to mummy's favourite book store. I was happy to get there because mummy gave me a bit more to drink, I had a little bit on the bus but I had trouble because the bus was bumpy. It was dark by time we got home so daddy came to pick us up, he got home just the same time as mummy and my bus came in so mummy waited in McDonalds and gave me more milk, she is getting lots of practice at giving me milk when there are other people around. The only other thing I did today is vomitted up all over mummy just after mummy gave me a bath, at least I didn't get my nice clean clothes dirty but I did make mummy all smelly so she had to go for a shower while I went to sleep. Must go now and get some more sleep.
Talk again when I have another busy day or go to the big place called the city again,

Smart boy again

2008-05-27T20:10:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I haven't done much today, I slept for almost 6 hours overnight so mummy was happy, but daddy not so much because I went back into my bassinette at 2:30am after a feed and was still a bit sooky at 4am but mummy was almost asleep so daddy got up rewrapped me and put me in my capsule to sleep, I like my capsule I'm still a bit snuffly from my cold and find it easier to breathe being a little bit upright to prove my point I was put in my basinette at almost 7pm and still awake at 8pm within 1 minute of being put in my capsule I was fast asleep. As my title says I was a smart boy today. Mummy took my nappy off to change me and at the same time she had to change all my clothes because I had been sicky. When she took my nappy off I was a typical baby boy and weed but instead of getting mummy I got myself somehow on my face and in my ear. My clean clothes were next to my head and I managed to miss them so I only got myself now I know why mummy and daddy get the clean nappy on me straight away it is not nice getting wet on the face but I'm not sure how I got it in my ear that took talent, maybe I should go on the show Australia's Got Talent then I can win lots of money and of course give it to mummy and daddy for safe keeping. Well, must go now almost time for a feed and mummy wants to cook tea, I've told her before that her milk is enough for me but she insists on making other food she says that her and daddy still need to eat and can't live on milk alone, poor them milk is yummy especially the stuff that comes from mummy.
Talk to you soon, tomorrow I meet lots of new people so will tell you all about them then,
Moses
P.S. I will be putting more photos up soon so you can see how big I've gotten in just over a month, mummy already misses her baby boy I'm getting lots big now.

My mean parents

2008-05-26T21:19:00.002+09:30

Hiya,
My parents are mean, today they took me to see somebody called a paediatric surgeon who took me away from my mummy and daddy for about 5 minutes and he hurt me. Mummy and daddy wanted something called circumcision done to me, all I know is that it hurt a lot, so much so that I didn't want to feed after it and other mummies there got upset because the doctor told them it wouldn't hurt but I got done first and then kept crying. My mummy was worried and happy to get me back safely. I got to try something called panadol which made the pain get less. Tonight mumy forgot to give me my Infant's Friend (for my colic) and so I've been unsettled mummy has figured out the way to get me asleep but resting me on my stomach up against her that makes me not have as much pain. I haven't really done much else, I had another aim at mummy and scored again, I tried to aim at daddy but missed. I've also had some sickies recently that come out quickly but haven't scored with them unless you count the wall in the bedroom and my capsule. Must go now and rest more to see if I can keep mummy and daddy up all night, talk again soon.

Good aim

2008-05-24T19:38:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Well, I've been told that I have to update this every day for a month because Auntie Chrissy has gone off somewhere I've been told it's called overseas but I don't know where that is because I'm only young but apparently she went with nana and grandad to somewhere called an airport and they left her there (not very nice of them), mummy has assured me that she will be ok. Today I've had a busy day. I had to go shopping with mummy and daddy for food this morning (I don't know why I get all the milk I need from mummy). Then this afternoon I went to my first birthday party, it is my cousin Emily's birthday today and she had a party at a big pool. I slept through the entire party and even got my own special birthday bag. I've been a bit bad with afternoon feeds recently, mummy thinks I have something called colic and she mentioned it to Lee (my favourite visitting midwife) when she visitted today and Lee told mummy to get something yummy called Infant's Friend. Mummy gave that to me before my feed and I didn't get pain (so far, so good). Today I took two good aims at mummy and scored both times. The first aim I took was with a sicky after she fed me and got it all on her pants, the second aim was when she took my nappy off, I took another aim and scored again, mummy bought lots of washing powder she reckons I make her do a lot more washing now. Other than that I've not done much else today. I turned 1 month old today and am now much better and gaining lots of weight, mummy is trying to lose weight I don't know why gaining weight is fun. Better go now and have a rest after all I get to eat again in about 2 hours and then mummy is hoping I settle well tonight unlike other nights recently (Infant's Friend will hopefully help). Auntie Chrissy enjoy your holiday/work.
Talk to you soon if nothing else happens today,
Moses

More lazy days

2008-05-22T21:28:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
I haven't done much recently hence my being quiet. Today nana was holding me while mummy got dressed and I did a squelchy poo which escaped my nappy and got on nana's jeans and jumper. I like making people messy after all why should it only be my clothes which get dirty from squelchys. On a better note I'm now much better I just have a little snuffly left and am eating and sleeping better which makes mummy happy she can rest more overnight now, for little while I was up half the night and mummy had to sit up with me because she didn't want me to wake up daddy as he still has to work during the day. I'm going to sign off now because as I said I haven't done anything recently to tell you I'll talk to you again soon,
Moses

Smart Boy

2008-05-19T21:35:00.004+09:30

Hi all,
Today I was a smart boy, after one of my morning feeds rather than spilling milk through my mouth I got it to come out of my nose. This is especially smart as my nose is still stuffy from the cold naughty mummy gave me. Daddy also tried to kiss me goodbye this morning and I was getting hungry and waving my hands around so that at the time daddy went to kiss me I hit him away. He held my hands to stop me doing it again. Other than that I haven't done much in the last few days, I've still been sleepy because of my cold. Mummy told daddy on the weekend that I wasn't allowed to go out so Saturday I had to stay home all day because it was cold and wet outside, mummy and daddy said it was good to get rain they tell me that this stuff falls from the sky. Well better go now and rest before my next feed,
Talk to you soon,
Moses
By the way today is my daddy's birthday we got him a ride in a gliding plane for his birthday.

My sick days

2008-05-17T10:40:00.003+09:30

Hi all,
No I've not had sickies on anybody but I've been sick. Mummy had a cold earlier in the week and now I'm all snuffly and tired but still wake up mummy overnight for my feed, that can be her punishment for giving a 3-week old baby a cold. Daddy also has a sore throat so mummy did a good job of sharing her germies around with everyone, she still has a cough to get rid of, it is annoying sitting on her lap when she is coughing because it disturbs me. The one good thing is though I'm getting a lot more cuddles, all I have to do is cry and I get picked up because mummy is feeling guilty about giving me her cold. Because I've been sick I haven't done much recently. Nana had to take me and mummy to see someone called a specialist yesterday because he had to check if I needed an operation thankfully I don't, he gave me a clean bill of health. Then mummy had to go to work to let Mrs. D.O.N. know when she will be going back to work and fill in something to get more money to spend time at home with me, her work is kind (note from mum all annual leave that has built up over 3 years is now used). But because it was cold outside and I have a cold I stayed at nana and grandad's house with grandad looking after me he was happy to offer, and mummy said that nana told Mrs. D.O.N. to call her in for lots of extra shifts, I think nana and grandad want to look after me. The only other part of life that is exciting is that during one of my feeds yesterday mummy sat me up to burp me and I turned my face to hers and burped in her face (it wasn't smelly though and it wasn't a sickie). Then overnight daddy gave me my last bottle at 1 am. I woke up at 5:30am for a bottle and when mummy asked daddy his response was "I gave him his last bottle". Mummy was good and got up to give me my bottle, I then went back to bed and slept until 9 am when I woke up for another bottle (I'm having bottles because it is too hard to breathe when having milk straight from mummy).

More sicky days

2008-05-15T17:00:00.002+09:30

Hi all,
Well I've had more 'sickies' again today. Maybe mummy tries to deed me too much, at 3am she tried to give me a lot of milk, but that could be because I was sick all over her pants and chair she was sitting on. Then earlier today she put me in my bouncer and went into the other room for a small amount of time only a couple of minutes and when she came back I had sicked up all over the bouncer (thankfully it had a cover on it) and also all over the back of my head and suit that I had on so then mummy had to gove me a bath which I didn't enjoy, I don't like women changing me or bathing me after all I have something they don't have and I get self-conscious. Mummy keeps telling me that she is a nurse and used to what I have but I still prefer daddy to change me. I haven't done much else, I got to have some tummy time yesterday but have been too sleepy today, maybe after tea I can go on my belly it is such fun as long as I don't go to sleep on my belly I'm not allowed to do that. Well, that's all for now, time to go and have tea.
Talk again when I have something else to say,
Moses

New experiences

2008-05-14T19:25:00.000+09:30

Hi all,
Well in the last 2 days I've had 2 new experiences. Yesterday nana took mummy to a shopping centre to pay to hire a machine and then because it was getting late we had to go and pick up my cousin Emily from school. It is a big place with lots of buildings, I think I'd get lost. Emily enjoyed showing me off to her friends and teacher. Then today we had to go see somebody called a doctor. I'm not sure if I like him or not I was asleep until he woke me up. Because he woke me up I decided to try to wet him when he took my nappy off but I didn't aim high enough maybe next time. Tonight I went out with daddy and left mummy at home as she has been coughing all day (and trying to not cough ion me which is difficult when she's feeding me) and didn't want to go out and have her cold get worse. I was a good boy for daddy. Well, I'll sign off for now 2 new exoeriences in 2 days and a night out with daddy has tired me out, time to go to bed.
Moses

Sicky days

2008-05-12T18:01:00.000+09:30

Hi all,
I know I haven't put up any photos recently but I haven't been photographed as I've been sicky a lot. Last night when daddy was changing my nappy to settle me for bed I vomitted all over his chest (he had no top on because he was getting ready for bed so at least mummy doesn't have any washing to do for him) and myself. That is because mummy gave me too much to eat hoping to help me settle for the night. I did a good job mummy just laughed when she saw how much I got on daddy. However she paid the price by having to go out and get a blanket off the line and then having a lot of washing to do today. Then today I akmost got back at mummy she had just finished feeding me and trying to determine if I was still hungry and I vomitted up on her but she had a 'chuck rug' on herself so I only got myself and not her otherwise she would have more washing to do cos she still doesn't fit into all her clothes just yet I get to go on lots of walks so she can lose the excess weight she gained when pregnant. I haven't done much else today I went to see another midwife to learn why I won't eat properly from mummy but as soon as I got home it was all forgotten but thankfully the lady is kind and has said mummy can go back next week and every week until she remembers the rules, I don't like opening my mouth though which adds to the problems. I have started to get bigger though some of my 00000 suits are getting too small but the 0000 suits are still a bit big my arms and legs get lost. I don't have much else to say so I'm going to say goodbye for now.
Talk to you all soon,

Lazy Few Days

2008-05-11T19:57:00.000+09:30

Hi Bloggers,
Well as you can tell from my title I've had a lazy few days. Not much has happened to me. Last night daddy and I took mummy out for a mothers day dinner with a lot of people from church. I was the only child there so I got a lot of people looking at me but I slept right through dinner. Today mummy went back to sleepafter giving me my 7am feed and then I woke her up at 9:50am and she was happy as she was meant to be at church by 10:30 am and she just made it. I was given a drink at church and then vomitted all over mummy's black skirt and she couldn't get the car out to go home and change so she had to clean her skirt in the toilet and dry it. Other than that I haven't done anything out of the ordinary in the last few days. I haven't got anthing else to say so will speak to you in a few days.
Talk to you then, Moses

Another busy Day

2008-05-08T21:25:00.001+09:30

Hi bloggers,
Today was another busy day for me. Mummy decided that she needed to show me off where she works (there are a lot of old people there -note from mum I work at a nursing home). Firstly we went to see someone she called my great-grandma but she dusn't want to hold me till I'm bigger. Mummy showed her my blood testing marks on my heel so to get back at her I didn't want to settle. Then someone called Mrs. D.O.N. held me and managed to get me to sleep, she used to be a midwife so I like her. We then had to go to another section where a kind lady gave me some money (I also like her) and someone else gave mummy another present. There were a lot of people wanting to talk to mummy and she enjoyed showing me off to everyone. Then we had to go to another section where mummy fed me but I vomitted my bottle back up on her and then it was time to come home mummy was not impressed she had to walk home with a wet spot from my sicking on her top. It was a long walk home and by time we got home I was hungry again but couldn't decide whether to eat or sleep so I did both, I had a bit of a feed and then went to sleep. Other than that I also had another visit from the midwife earlier today and again tried to wet her but I was not successful instead I got my blanket. Then mummy wrapped me in a towel ready to give me a bath and sat talking to the midwife. I wasn't happy just sitting at the table in my towel so I made more work for mummy by pooing in my towel she has a lot of washing to do now. I have been a good boy and now weigh more than I did at birth and am starting to drink more from mummy. Other than this I haven't done much other than sleep today, mummy is happy because she wraps me up in a blanket and puts me awake into my bassinet and I will go to sleep, but that is because my bassinet is in their room so I have company all the time now (which I enjoy). I suppose this is enough for today so I'll sign off until my next busy day.
Talk to you again soon,
Moses

Home again

2008-05-07T11:51:00.000+09:30

Hello Bloggers,
Sorry I haven't posted anything recently but I've been to visit my favourite midwives again. After Saturday the midwife came on Sunday and I still hadn't gained much w8 and because of the sleepiness the lady said I could go to mt 2nd favourite place (my first favourite is home and I've not been much else for a long enough time to decide if I like it). Anyway I had to go back to hospital to have some people called doctors look at me. They couldn't find anything wrong though so after 2 nights I'm home again. Mummy is waiting for a nurse to come and weigh me to tell her if I've gained weight. I've only been drinking from a bottle so we can judge if I gain more weight (I hope so I like the bottle I don't have to do any work). Mummy is a bit exhausted though she was up half the night feeding me and then getting next feed ready. I've been relatively good the less I drink the less I vomit but every 2 hours is a bit soon to have a feed if I'm not awake. I don't have much more to say, just waiting to see if I've gained weight or back up to birth weight yet, I'm almost 2 weeks old so should be there soon hopefully all my clothes are getting worn out but mummy and daddy don't want to buy too much after all I won't be in 00000 suits forever even though they still a bit big the 0000 vests are huge on me but we can't find any 00000 vests. Must go and sleep so mummy can do some housework. Talk to you soon.

Sleepy day

2008-05-03T21:31:00.000+09:30

Hi Bloggers,
Well, today has been a sleepy day for me basically I've slept all day mummy and daddy have woken me up for feeds but the rest of the day I've been asleep. I also had to have 2 baths today, my usual one and then an extra one because I was sick all over mummy and myself after one of my bottles. I don't really have much else to say today has been slept away, now to see if I can keep mummy and daddy up all night, that will be fun to try. I also enjoy it because then I get to sleep in their room otherwise they make me sleep in my room by myself and I get lonely.
Will talk to you when I eventually wake up.

It's hard being a baby

2008-05-01T23:57:00.000+09:30

Hey Bloggers

I dont know if you have realised just how hard life as a baby can be. I want to sleep mum and dad want me awake and so they will try all sorts of things to get me to wake up I think the cold hand treatment is the worst, but there is also the undress me or the bath routine, today though, I didn't care I just went back to sleep, now I want to be awake they tell me I got to go to sleep I really wish they would make up their minds. Aunty Kaz and cousin Emily came to visit (as well as a steady stream of others) aunty Kaz decided to help mum with giving me a bath so after she took my clothes off and started carrying me to the bath I decided to take aim (and yes I did hit the target). I like getting mum really worried I fed yesterday like I'd never had a feed before and may never have one again and then today I hardly had anything (other than what they jammed down my throat)

Well talk to you later Bloggers

Moses

By the way I turned 1 week old today

Busy Day

2008-04-29T21:42:00.000+09:30

Wow what a day bloggers

It started off quiet Nana and Grandad came over, but I wasn't happy this afternoon, a lady came over mum and dad said she was a midwife she took my clothes off and put her cold hands all over me so I took aim but I missed. Then some other friends Aunties Leah and Nahum came over to visit but it was time for afternoon tea so mum and dad talked to them while I had a feed and then if that wasn't enough we went out and visited with some friends (mum and dad said it was the fishers) I hope they are telling me the truth cause I'm only 6 days old and I only know what mum and dad tell me.
By the way if you hadn't guessed the photo is me.
Well that's it for today bloggers
