The Mattress Game

Xavier's latest thing is getting a huge run up and then running into his bedroom and jumping on the mattress on the floor (that myself and Rod lay on during night wakes). We keep trying to capture this on video, but lately Xavier sees the video camera and wants us to flip the screen around so he can see himself.....so, here's a mixture of the run-up, Delilah joining in the action, Xavier looking at himself and some mattress jumping:

The new Table & Chair Set

For craft....not yet for eating at (tried it the first day and was a disaster).....here's some footage of daddy and Xavier putting it together and giving it a go.

Birth Guesses for AnA

Playing Catch

Meet Bebe (aka Bubs-In-Belly)

We had a 4d scan today of Bebe. He was rather shy and kept his hands in front of his face for MOST of it. We did get a little smile though, and a yawn, and we even think he may have flipped us the bird at one point.......personality plus already!

He looks a lot like Xavier did in his 4d scan.....maybe it's the brother thing, or maybe all bubsies look the same in 4d scans....I prefer to think it's the previous. He's got very long eyelashes already too, just like his brother.

Heres a pic. If I can work out how to edit the video footage this weekend, I'll upload a snippet of that too.....

Xavier's afternoon at the farm....

Aunty Ami took Xavier to her Gran and Pop's farm back in early July. Here's the link to Ami's blog with some piccies:

Playground Afternoon

Crazy thing was, I was SHATTERED after this playground visit....and I spent a lot of it on the bench. Xavier, however, was still a bundle of energy for hours following this trip. How I'd love that caffeine free boundless energy for myself.

Swimming Shots

(Taken with Rod's new phone)

The mat is his favourite part......negative being that he spits it when mat time is over.

More videos to keep Nanna sated....

A big HI to Nanna who's in the UK at the moment:
