Another 'arty' Lincoln photo

Even though the EOS400D is having issues, it still produces a nice photo every now and then. And then there's Lincoln's new face - he throws his hands up and down in the air blowing in and out - it's absolutely hilarious to watch...:

Lincoln at 16 months

Lincoln continues to be the most wonderful son a parent could wish for. He's growing so fast, and learning new things every day. He now knows how to hide things and hold out his hands as if to say "where's it gone" then he'll pull out the toy and laugh and laugh.

He's still sleeping for almost 12 hours a night - with a single 2 hour (or 1.5 hr) sleep in the middle of the day.

Mum is doing well - 2.0 now kicks her fairly hard, and quite often! We're quoting Sept 18 as the due date, but know that this little one is probably going to be a fair bit bigger than Linc... Our first obstetrician appointment was on Monday, and it's where we found out that we will have to pay $3,800 to have this baby, and will only get $200 back (we got 80% back with Linc). Thanks to the good 'ol government for that one... I get why they did it, but there has to be a better way...

Linc was involved in his very first car accident a couple of weeks ago. Everyone was OK, with Mum being much more freaked out than Linc, who really didn't know that anything had happened. We're all thankful that Mum was able to avoid a more serious accident when this stupid old dim-witted man (who shouldn't have been driving a car in the first place) failed to give way on a round-about. Everyone always goes on about young male drivers being the ones to watch out for...people should be more worried about how many accidents are caused by elderly people who just don't have the capacity to drive a motor vehicle anymore.

20 week ultrasound - boy or girl?

We are ecstatic to report that 2.0 has all the right bits, in all the right places, and is even further along than first thought! According to the 20 week ultrasound, 2.0 is 21 weeks and 5 days!

And the sex? The answer is in black font (highlight the text after the colon to see the answer)...: BOY

Lincoln prepares for the arrival of 2.0

One week to go until we find out the sex of 2.0. Just as a warning, this news WILL be posted to the blog, but will be camouflaged slightly so as to make it a bit more difficult to see (some people don't want to know the sex!)...

Here's Linc practicing his pram-pushing technique in preparation for his little bro/sis...!

Happy Easter!

Our little boy...

Not so much of a baby now...

Second haircut!

Linc behaved exceptionally well through his second haircut. It's amazing how something as simple as a haircut can make him look so much more grown up. Pretty scary actually.

Oh, and he's not allergic to peanuts! Hooray - he'll one day know the mouth-watering taste of braised chicken satay... YUM!

2.0 is baking nicely, with Mum not as sick so often now. Only five weeks until we know whether Linc will get a little brother or a little sister!
