Sorry it's been so long between updates, we've had alot happening lately.  We moved into a new home a couple of weeks ago.  It's only one street away from where we were but it feels like a whole new suburb.  Damien has a nice big bedroom now and it is a lovely shade of blue..

He is doing really well and is growing bigger and bigger all the time.  He is around 6 kilos now and is looking forward to his first christmas.  He met Santa for the first time last Sunday at my family's yearly xmas party and seemed more concerned with who was taking his photo then who was holding him.  We are going to take him to get his photo taken with Santa at the shopping centre so we'll see how he goes then.  Damien is teething now and he has a couple of teeth that you can just see under his gums.  He hasn't been too cranky but can have his moments.  We feel so bad for him because we aren't allowed to give him teething gel, so he is loving his panadol and so are we...

It's been an eventful year for all of us and the new year is shaping up to be just as busy.  Damien is going to have a little brother or sister who is due in early August.  It will be interesting to see how he copes with not being the only baby in the family.  I'm sure he will be fine as he seems to be able to adapt to any situation.

Merry Christmas to everyone and all our best wishes for the New Year.

All our Love, Dale, Amanda & Damien. xoxo
