A blog book, a boy outside and James' 'baby'...

Here's a bit of a catchup from the past week...
We've received our blog book! YAY!!!! We can highly recommend sharedbook as a way to keep your blog forever...
(Photos don't quite do it justice - need some work on my photo taking skills)

The dedication page...

And an example of the pages...

So go get one!

Now, next story...

With the weather the way it's been, and not being as brave as the Carmichaels (to dress James in his wet weather gear and let him jump in puddles!) Matt and I have rigged up the ultimate spoilt boy outdoor area...

So we've been playing out there with multiple layers of clothing on, the gas heater pumping, and the ceiling fan on reverse to re-circle the warm air! Now that's a spoilt little boy isn't it!!

The alternative is that James would go CRAAAAAZZZZY by lunchtime if he didn't get outside so I'm very happy with our set up!
Here's James with Joey reading his favourite book at the moment. The Very Hungry Caterpillar... His favourite way of reading the book is to poke his little fingers into the holes the caterpillar ate out of the apples, pears, chocolate cake, pickle... etc. etc.

And finally, here's our masculine little man with his new fave toy... "Baby". I picked it up at a local trash and treasure market. It was unclothed and being sold for $5 so I bought it, brought it home and washed it and dressed it in a size 0000 jumpsuit that James used to wear! Can you believe he was ever that size!!!! Nanna would be proud that he's finally got a doll!

Our proudest moment with the doll was when I asked James where his baby was and he turned around and clearly said "Baby" - his first clear word! Yippee!!!!
