Six weeks tomorrow!

Hey everyone,

I’m six weeks tomorrow! I’ve had a really busy weekend with my folks carting me around everywhere with them, so I spent a decent amount of it sleeping, but I still gave them a hard time once or twice. Especially on Friday when they dragged me off for milkshakes in Noordhoek, but then let me get too cold and didn’t even serve me any. Well. Not the real-deal at any rate. For some reason they think the only thing I ever want is Mom’s milk!

Let’s see… what else did I get up to. I think I’m starting to figure out this whole smiling thing. I can’t quite get my lips to curl up yet, but I think they’re getting all excited. I better keep practicing because they really seem keen for me to give them some crazy grin or something… Clots. Especially my dad!

I also think they’re starting to figure me out a bit. They don’t seem quite as stressed anymore, but I still think they could be doing more to keep me happy. I mean… a PSP or something wouldn’t hurt, and then they could do their dishes or gardening or whatever they want to be doing? I’ll keep you posted.

Oh… and cool news is that I’ve got a new friend. He’s only a few hours old at the moment, but Brennan Grant popped out his mom earlier today, so hopefully we’ll get to hang sometime soon. Maybe call up Simon “the settler” Oosthuysen and we can catch a movie or something.

Anyway – as I wrote in my subject, I’m 6 weeks tomorrow. Cool. Another 17 years, 10 and a half months and I can get my drivers licence… AWESOME!

Food glorious food!

Just been to the clinic now, and I’m weighing in at a healthy 3.7kg again, which means I’ve been eating enough to reach my birth weight. I’ve also grown taller now, so at 57cm I’ve put on 5cm in the last 4 weeks. I still scream my head off most of the time because of these bl*#$y winds which my folks can’t seem to get out of me, but I think they’re doing their best. Still… a little crying never hurt anyone!

I’ll write some more next time my dad goes out and leaves the modem on. I still haven’t figured out how to dialup…
