2.) She wants to stand most of the time so we got her a cool bouncy playring.

3.) She is eating cereal for breakfast now - within a week it will be at night as well. Veggies are next :)

4.) She is almost crawling - needs a few more co-ords and she will be there.

Quick Update on Mom and Addison

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Dad burping Addison

This is just a quick update to say that things are going quite well at the moment. Judiet and Addison are back home and settling in nicely. I must say that being at home is VERY different from being in the hospital but I dont have any complaints. Judiet is still in some pain, but verything biologically is doing what its supposed to so things are good on that front.

Addison has slight Jaundice which has required 3 blood tests in as many days which is more disturbing for Judiet than Addison and its not over yet, tomorrow there will be another one which will hopefully show that the billirubin levels are dropping and she wont have to have phototheraphy. The only bad thing about tomorrows tests is that they require that she not be breast fed for the next 24 hours, so its going to be bottles until then.

I have uploaded some new galleries of photos:

More details about everything to come soon, as well as some videos which are awesome!

The brilliance of the Nintendo Wii

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Current Mood:Bored emoticon Bored

The reason the Nintendo Wii is the best selling console at the moment is that it appeals to all age groups, young and old. Case in point is my mother in law who was introduced to Nintendo Wii this morning and she is already hooked on it. I should point out that she doesnt play any games either on PC or console yet she took to this like a fish in water. This is the reason why the nintendo is selling so well - it appeals to everyone and its easy to use no matter who you are.

What follows are pictures of Jane playing wii tennis and wii bowling.
