Monday in the Park with Jacob!

So here we are, the happy family, enjoying the best of a kiwi summer - a picnic lunch under a sprawling oak. I don't think it gets much better than this...

The move has gone well thus far. The long period of radio silence is because we have taken so long to get Internet at home. But that was remedied this morning, ya-hoo!

Jacob is 7 weeks old now, and has made heaps of progress. He saw his MD on Tuesday and started his vaccinations. Not too much crying, and he did just fine afterwards, thank goodness. He met his Plunket Nurse, too. He now weighs 5180gm, which is in the 11lb 4oz range. He has started sleeping longer at night, and now gives us 5-7 hours of extended sleep in the early part of the night, which I must say is bliss. He also likes longer naps in the day now too.

He is smiling, and is starting to coo at us. Sometimes he looks like he is on the verge of saying something profound, but then we get a very primeval sounding growl. He really is a lovely chap.

He met his Nanny and Koro last week, who are smitten. He has also met a few of the Temple people as well as family and friends. It's going great.

More, soon.
