What has the little man been up to lately? He hasn't got into too much trouble. The parents were quite busy with work last week so not many outings for Grayson. Seb came over for Cortina pizza one night and spent some time with G.
I think Seb is coming TV shopping with the boys today (not so long story.....our TV, or rather Ric's TV, self destructed this week....sorry Ric, right when I was going to watch the one dayer!). I always wanted an excuse to buy a flat screen (I thought the excuse that ...."you can bolt them to the wall which is safer for the child as he won't pull the TV onto him".....would work but Mel wouldn't buy it)
Also this week marked the 16 week and onwards milestone which of course meant more needles! He didn't seem to like them as much this time and cried for about a minute or two before he was calmed down with a song and some milk. Some kids have security blankets but ours has security milk!
Well that's about it for this week.....hopefully Grayson and his dad will be watching the one dayer tonight on a new LCD TV....if all goes well today!

Potrait!
The last week we got up to all sorts of things. Last Sunday we decided to have fish and chips by the water and ended up at a little cafe at Sandgate. It was quite a nice day and the fish and chips were actually really good. Earlier in the week we had converted Grayson's stroller from the bassinet to the chair so he could see more when we where out. He seems to like it a lot more now.
This week he also got to meet Seb, who flew back in from Germany for awhile and Jenn, who is also back in the country after a year away. Such a social butterfly.
On Thursday we went to the Jardine family's place and they have a pool. It was about 30 degrees so we took the opportunity to introduce Grayson to water (not the bath variety). I probably shouldn't have put him straight in as I think it was a bit cold at first and he protested quite loudly for a few minutes. But after some gentle persuading, and seeing that daddy was in the water and he seemed to be ok, he decided it wasn't so bad afterall. He even started to splash about a bit.

Here's a little number I tossed off recently in the Carribean....
Grayson was only moments away from having a Fisher Price piano bought for him when the mother unit managed to find this rather smart red toy piano via Google. German designed, made in China and air freighted to Australia from the ol' US of A. Not sure who is getting the most enjoyment out of it though....
So, updates from the smugs? Well, two of us didn't last the distance at the NYE party we went to (one of whom was Grayson). It was a fabulously catered party though - and we did stay for the seafood chowder (the final course before dessert). Arriving home, we opened a bottle of champagne (given to us by just.....Paul upon G's entry into the world) - one glass later and one of us went to sleep. (insert sheepish mother unit look here). Thank goodness for champagne stoppers as we were able to save the rest of the bottle for a picnic lunch with Wendy the next day!
Yesterday the two parental units managed to see a movie (and no, it wasn't a babes in arms session). Thanks to the grandparents we had our first cinematic experience in 4 months - Casino Royale. Now if we can only get out for dinner.... (hint hint)
Other news? Grayson continues to be a voracious feeding monster and growing at a rapid rate. 14 weeks old, 8kg and 70cm.
I think we are breeding a basketball player.
