Cousins!!

Well, lots has happened since the last entry. We have been to Melbourne for a trip which turned out to be almost two weeks away, woth Paul doing lots of business in Melbourne (and Albury and Geelong). We tooks the new car along, which helped it run in over around two thousand kms, and let Paul really get a feel for the way it handles. It also let David get a feel for the new carseat (very luxurious and comfy). We stayed with Paul's parents in Melbourne and let David see lots of his cousins, aunt, uncle and grandparents and let them see how much he had grown.

It was supposed to be cooler, but that part of the plan didn't quite work out. We did have a couple of cooler nights though, and David actually wore suits with covered arms and legs on two nights. All the rest were more like Sydney though, and back to just sleeping in a nappy and singlet.

Here are some photos of David with his cousins. As you can see, the size difference between David and Matthew (who is eight weeks older) is getting less and less. Matthew weighs approximately one and a half kilos more than David at the moment. Matthew is sitting up and on solid food, and has a lot more hair, but they are playing at the same level. Both boys were fascinated by the other - it is nice for them to see someone their own size.
David now has a bedroom in Melbourne, with a cot and change table, and toys which we have left in Melbourne to play with. One is a little next with 3 tiny birds, and the nest plays music and tweets like a bird when it is knocked. Both boys love to play with it. We also organised a new bed for us to sleep in, when we are in Melbourne, instead of the two single beds. It is all starting to look very organised!
The last is a photo of the boys with their aunt & uncle or grandparents respectively. Again, having lots of fun.
