Samuel at 4 Months - Smiling, Sucking, Flirting & Feeding

Our little boy is now four months old. The last month brought with it many new tricks - laughing, blowing raspberries and rolling to name a few.

Always full of smiles!

Who needs a dummy when fingers are this yummy!

Hey, I'm sure I can fit more than two in there. Watch this!

When Samuel started waking up like this each morning we knew it was time to extend the cot. It is now wider and almost twice as long - plenty of room to try out all of his new rolling tricks.

Playing a game of hide and seek.

Matthew's & Lauren's Wedding - 07.01.07

Samuel's Summer Adventures - Adelaide, Middleton, Nhill & Melbounre

Samuel boy is now over three months old and we haven't posted any photos since he was six weeks old. How slack! The only excuse we have is that we've been galvanting around the country for the last four weeks. We spent Christmas in Adelaide, the week leading up to New Year's Eve at a beach house in Middleton (South Australia) and early January in Melbourne via Nhill.

Along the way Samuel got to meet most of his extended family and many new friends. He was baptised, had his first Christmas, attended two weddings and survived being tormented by both of his grandmothers at once! All in all it was quite a journey for such a young chap.

He was delightful throughout the whole trip and is turing out to be quite the charmer. He's smiling at just about anyone and recounting to us tales of his recent adventures in great detail.

I still have two weeks before I start my new job at Clayton Utz, so we're now enjoying a bit of family time at home in Canberra.
