I love my auntie

Luca was perplexed when I told him Aunt Tiffany was a Cougar fan. Then I told him her and Uncle Jeff would some day (hopefully soon) have cousins for him to play with. For now he is willing to overlook her allegiance to WSU.

smiles, smiles and more smiles

This weeks milestone with Luca has been smiling. He is ticklish under his arms and smiles all the time. He weighed in today at 5.24 kilo's (about 11 1/2 lbs.) and received a clean bill of health from the doctor. Mark and I continue to enjoy being parents and are still in awe that Luca is our baby! -kel

Ferguson Family Swim

Today was the first family swim for Mark, Luca and I in our new pool. As you can see from the photo, Luca might not have had as much fun in the pool as Mark and I. As a little Aussie we are starting him in the pool young, we will share pics soon when he starts to "enjoy" the water! I braved a swimming suit 6 weeks post birth but only because the pool is in our backyard! My dream come true I finally have a pool -kel

5 weeks and our lives have been turned upside down!

It has been a crazy 5 weeks! I never could have imagined how my life would change so dramatically with Luca's birth. Mark, Luca and I are all doing fantastic, Luca is growing, cheeks are getting chubbier by the day, I am getting used to the middle of the night feeds, Mark is still the most amazing doting father you have ever seen. I have never seen anyone who enjoys changing nappies so much! The house is slowly become unpacked, lots of little jobs still left to do but as unorganized as things are at the moment, we are loving living in our own house. Here are two new pictures of Luca from last week. Pictures of the house coming soon! -kel

The Little Man hitting the town

Life is getting back to normal - not there yet but directionally we are happy with where it is heading.

Three days before Christmas we had the dual pleasures of finally moving into our new house and finally having our container unloaded from the U.S. (a full 15 months after it was packed). Fast forward 2 weeks & we now have fewer boxes everywhere a functioning kitchen and lounge room and the little man's room is taking shape.

Our broadband connection is due on Jan 8, so expect some stories from Kel around this time about the move (and some pics of the house). The post pregnancy period is effecting her in strange ways so please remember with any stories about the amount of t-shirts, bags and coke bottles I brought from the US there is a definite level of exaggeration, but we really are awash in her shoes.

Through all this Kel has not only been looking after Luca but has also been entertaining. The Aussie unannounced drop-by-visit is something Kelly is not impressed with but she is at least starting to understand it is not just me who does it, it just happens down here.

The little man is doing great and we have not been shy about taking him out to restaurants, parties and BBQ's. Through everything he has just been chilling out, obviously he has been quite a hit with the ladies.
