William's Social Engagements

Our Latest Table Centrepiece

Witches Goblins and Ghosts Party
William has been very busy socialising in the last month and was invited to his first birthday party. Olympia turned six and had a Witches, Goblins and Ghosts party so we dressed William in his skeleton outfit (courtesy of Uncle Tony) and he was a real hit (mind you, he slept through most of the party).



William was introduced to my Mums sewing circle. Afternoon tea with 6 ladies can't be bad, along with lots of cuddles.


William has also been on his first camping holiday to the RRC Dargo event. A few people were surprised to see us, but William loved the fresh air and the attention from the ladies!! (Oh No!!) It was quite cold at night but he was bundled up in his sleeping bag and slept through 8 hours, it must have been all the fresh air during the day and kicking his legs about on the rug under the trees.

Breakfast @ Dargo



We spent Easter at Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road with Paul's parents - Mary & Graham. William had his first visit to the beach - OK he didn't touch the sand but was snuggled up in the Baby Bjorn on Paul's chest. He was a little angel and slept in his carry cot in the corner of two restaurants, amongst all the noise, and lovely comments from the other patrons.


Mary & Graham have come out for 8 weeks to help out as I have had to have a major op but I got home from hospital yesterday and all is well.



William's First Easter















The Easter Bunny delivered a Peter Rabbit Bowl, spoon, mug and egg cup set with chocolate as William will be starting on solids in the middle of May - as of a week ago he weighed 5220 grams. I call him my little Milk Monster. He also got a Golly bib and rattle, a book, and some clothes from Mary & Graham.


William is awake more and very aware of what is going on around him, he loves going for walks and looks around at the trees and especially likes mirrors!!

We started Mother's group last week so in the coming weeks he will have a chance to meet some other babies. Paul, Mary and Graham have all had a bad cold, but William and I have managed to stay healthy so far!! (fingers crossed)
