Cutest Giggles in the WHOLE World!

1 more night to go...

One more night until Eldon gets home! Whew! It has been lonely without him or anyone else. I have been so spoiled since Rhys was born, having my parents here and then Eldon's parents...and then nobody! Anyway, Rhys and I have just been hanging out at home doing nuttin'. Well...that's if you call eating every 3 hours, changing nappies, trying to get to sleep, sleeping, some more eating...nothing. :) I have managed to read 2 Harry Potter books though which has helped pass the hours.
Eldon went to Melbourne for an interview...sounds like it went all right. So we should be hearing in about a week as to whether he got a job and where we will be going. So stay tuned...
Rhys has started sucking his thumb...much to the delight of his mother who doesn't want to continue with the dummy any more than she has to! He is still using a dummy to get to sleep right now...the thumb isn't in complete control yet. He will suck on it while he is trying to go to sleep but gets frustrated because he can't create a good suction on it like a dummy yet. Everyday he is getting better though. I have been trying to catch a good picture of him doing it...so stay tuned for that as well!
Here are some lovely pictures of Nana and Granddad Patterson on the last Sunday we were together.

Rhys update - 2 months!

Well...so much has happened in the last 2 months! Rhys is growing so fast...just the other day I printed a bunch of pictures from the time he was born up until now and it was fun to compare them! Here is a list of updates:


He has almost outgrown his infant bouncer


He has definitely outgrown his infant insert in the car seat

He is rolling over from tummy to back but is too chubby to do back to tummy!

He is chewing nonstop on his little hands and trying to suck his thumb...and he has learned how to reach out and bat his toys and grab ahold of the middle one that makes noise!

He is, of course, smiling up a storm at everyone and cooing and gaaing also! So cute!

He is wearing 3 month clothes already and his sleepers with feet are too small due to his big feet! I have already put away a whole bag of clothes which he doesn't fit anymore!

He is 2 months old, weighs 6.3 kgs on last weigh (Monday) and is 60 cm long. That means he's grown more than 2 kgs and 10 cm since birth. Whoa! He is getting quite heavy to carry around.

We have "graduated" from our Mum and Bub class (which went up to 8 weeks) and next week we will attend the Parent and Baby class which lasts until they can crawl.

Mummy and Daddy are doing well...getting lots of sleep at the moment as Rhys is sleeping from approx. 1030pm to 6am! Woohoo! I'm crossing my fingers he keeps it up for a while.

We are enjoying have Mum and Dad Patterson here and they are really enjoying Rhys! He is such a lovely little boy and we feel very privileged! Here are some recent pictures.

Today we took Rhys down to Eldon's work and showed him off to everyone...he was a hit of course! :) Then we had to have a tour of Alligator's new plane, the Piper Chieftain. Here are some photos of Rhys's first "plane trip".

I have noticed recently that my blogs are becoming a little unvaried...hmmm...wonder why? ;) Rhys and I don't get out much so we have no photos of actually doing anything. Guess that will come with time. Right now we are just liking staying at home and getting plenty of sleep during the day! So stay tuned...they will get more interesting.
