All About Josh

I've got a brother - yeah!

2007-09-21T19:01:00.000+10:00

And here he is. His name is Samual Alexander and he was born at 9.42am on 19/09/07. He was 3.18kg, just a liiiiiiitle bit bigger than me when I was born. He makes some funny noises though. I wonder when he will be ready to play chasey??????

My Dad said it might be a little while.

Here is Grandpa Paul having a nurse. I guess Sam's kind of cute for a little brother.

My holiday in Merimbula

2007-03-12T18:02:00.000+11:00

I've been on a holiday!!!! I went with my mum and dad and grandpa Paul and grandma Barb to Merimbula. I went swimming in the pool and I paddled in the ocean. I loved it. I ran in the sand and chased a seagull and climbed a sand dune. Grandpa tried to get me to surf but I don't think I can do that yet. Wait till I tell the kids at my next swimming lesson.

My SECOND Christmas

2007-02-11T17:07:00.000+11:00

I can't remember my first Christmas. I was just born and too little. But my second Christmas was GREAT FUN! Here are some pictures of Christmas lunch. My Grandma Lloyd and Aunty Emma and Mum all helped to make a very yummy lunch. My Granny Barbara, Granma Barb, Grandpa Paul and Greatgrandma Pauline were all there - oh, and my mate Max the dog too. I got lots of kisses and hugs and presents.

My first birthday

2007-02-07T12:46:00.000+11:00

I had my first birthday party in a park close to my home. It was a very nice day with lots of my favourite people there.

I got lots of presents and there was yummy food and I found the drinks too. That's me at the car fridge!

Can you see me with my Grandpa Paul and my Dad? I fell over once but Mum made it all better.

And my Grandma Lloyd and Aunty Lisa were there too. I had SUCH a good day!!!!!

My First Swimming lesson

My first time in a big pool.... I was a bit scared!

But all was well, Daddy was there to help me.

Grandpa came along for support as well...

We played lots of games.... I was so tired by the end!

Here I am with Uncle John and Aunty Christa who we stayed with in Canberra.

Whoops, hope no one saw me picking the flowers, but it was sssooo much fun!

Mummy, Daddy and I went on a trip to Canberra. It was a long drive but we had a great time.

Playing with Granny Barb's family

2006-10-09T16:15:00.000+10:00

Yesterday, my mum and dad took me to a BBQ with Granny Barb's family. It was at Granny Barb's brother's place in Wantirna. There were LOTS of kids there - but I was the littlest and they all wanted to nurse me. There were lots of girls in pink - and I LIKE girls in pink! One little girl, Maddison, had been in the Royal Children's Hospital for an operation when she was a little baby - just like me. She's had a lot of operations on her heart though and will have to have more. Here we are having a chat!

Our trip to the park...

My Grandpa Paul got married

2006-08-29T15:47:00.000+10:00

Last Sunday, I went to my Grandpa Paul's wedding. He married Grandma Barb. I had my picture taken with the Teres Family, that is, my Mum and Dad and Great Grandma Pauline and Aunty Lisa as well as the happy couple on the steps of the Treasury Building in Melbourne. Here is a picture of me having afternoon tea at the Sofitel after the wedding. Yum, yum. I was very, very good and you can see I was very happy too!

My visit to Grandpa Paul

2006-05-20T17:51:00.000+10:00

Today my Mum and Dad took me to visit my Grandpa Paul and my step Grandma Barb. While they had lunch, I played with my toys. Grandpa was funny - he tried to get under my toy frame too but he is too big. This is me, trying to push him out!

I liked it when he cuddled me though. He gave me lots of kisses.

Happy Mother's Day Mum

2006-05-13T15:30:00.000+10:00

Hey, Mum, this is your first Mother's Day.

I hope it's a happy one.

Here's a big kiss and hug from me and Max!

Love you Mum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad

2006-03-18T18:41:00.000+11:00

My Mum and Dad have been married for one year on 19th March 2006. Wasn't I lucky to be here in time to celebrate their anniversary with them! Here are some pictures of when they got married! I was just a twinkle then. I love you Mum and Dad, and so does Max!

I've been a sickie

2006-03-17T10:11:00.000+11:00

I’ve been a sickie! It started a few weeks ago when I couldn’t keep my food down. I was starting to LOSE weight so my mum and dad rushed me to the Royal Children’s Hospital. After five hours of tests, I was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis. The doctor told mum and dad that I had to have an operation to fix the problem! I couldn’t eat anything so I was on a drip. Mum stayed in hospital with me the whole 5 days – I don’t think she got much sleep. We were in a ward with 5 other little sickies and their mums. Dad was there too when he wasn't at work and other visitors came a lot to keep our spirits up. A couple of days after the operation, I was allowed to go home and now I am feeling much better. Here’s a picture of me back at home.

We visit the rellies.

2006-01-28T17:34:00.000+11:00

We've started visiting people too. Here I am on my first visit to Grandpa Paul's house. He was very glad to see me. He says I'm a beaut little fella. That's him on the left. Then there's Mum, me, Dad, Barb (that's grandpa's partner) and Max is in the front row.

And now I'm home!

2006-01-28T17:26:00.000+11:00

And now I am home and living with my Mum and Dad and my mate, Max the dog. We are having fun learning about each other - at least I am! Here are some pictures of me at about 5 weeks old. You can see Max too!

Out of the frying pan........

2006-01-28T16:34:00.000+11:00

However, the quiet place in mum's tum was suddenly disrupted and I emerged into the world at Frances Perry Hospital on the evening of 21 December 2005. I just wanted to get back to sleep but there was an awful lot of action happening with visitors and photos and trying to get the hang of being here. There's an awful lot to learn!!!!

Here I am with my Mum and Dad, and with my Dad and Grandpa Paul and with my Aunty Lisa.

Before I was born......

2006-01-28T16:01:00.000+11:00

Here I am, Joshua Andrew, while I was still in my mum's tum. Everything was quiet and dark and peaceful.
