Where to start!! William's first plane trip was uneventful, he slept most of the way and was not bothered at all by the plane. We camped for the first 5 nights until William got a chest cold - the doctor put him on antibiotics and told us we couldn't camp anymore and to buy a humidifier for our hotel room - The cold didn't seem to affect William much, he was still his happy little self.
William also had his first boat trip when we snorkelled with the Whale Sharks in Exmouth - Paul and I took in turns at getting in the water, I managed to swim alongside a Whale Shark for quite a while (see the picture above), it was an amazing experience.
Paul did a lot of driving, WA is SO BIG - Miles and Miles of Sweet FA. William handled it well, I sat in the back and kept him amused, he would get a bit fractious at the end of the day, but who wouldn't after after 300km to 700km's a day!!!!

Paul put William's toe's in the ocean and he squeeled - way too cold - the pool at the resort in Broome was a bit better - he didn't squeel but he didn't smile either, he was a little bit unsure but loved the fountain lions at the side of the pool when he could put his hand under the running water. We think he will be a real water baby - he loves having a shower and bath, kicking away and Paul will take him to swimming lessons when the weather gets warmer.
Paul and the Brown boys caught quite a few fish in Francios Peron National Park - enough for entree for a few nights!
William is now close to 8kg's and is full of beans, laughing a lot and eating quite well. I started weaning him a couple of weeks ago and he loves his bottles, screaming for more when I take it out of his mouth to burp him - a bit like Paul really with his wine!!!
The overnight flight home was hard - we all slept a bit but the house was freezing when we got home as the heating had been off for 3 weeks - straight to bed for several hours until the house heated up. I am now organising William's passports as I am sure a trip to the UK will be on the agenda soon.
