MY Daddy

When Daz gets home after work each day, Jalen just won't leave him alone... here he is in his favourite spot, up on the couch with Daddy.

Fun Times

I love the photo of Jalen laughing. It's great when he wakes up from a big sleep happy and fun! Makes the hard times worth while.

Clapping

Jalen's favourite thing at the moment is to do something really simple and non eventful, then clap for himself... makes me laugh every time!

Sleeping

Jalen has been 'playing' in his cot for a while after I put him down for his naps each day. It's quite funny, I can hear him banging his dummy on the bars of the cot, or laughing and talking to his teddy bears... the other day I walked in to find him up the top of his cot, out of his blankets, asleep with his head on his snow leopard... couldn't resist taking a couple of shots. He is growing up!

Jeans for Genes day

I thought i'd take some pics of Jalen in his Jeans on 4 August. He's 9 months old now!

The boys

Our friend from Sydney, Ken, came down for the weekend of Jalen's dedication. It was great to catch up with him after so long and just hang out together.

Our cousin Steve was also here over the weekend because he was staying with us for 2 weeks doing his first teaching prac at Daz's school... we had so much fun together and he was such a breeze to have around. We miss him!

Mum & Dad

It was really great to have Mum and Dad for the week over Jalen's dedication. I had lots of fun taking them places (mostly the shops - sorry Dad hehehe) and really appreciated the help and company. Jalen only took about half a day and he was all smiles whenever he saw them and loved spending time in their bed at 6 am when Mummy and Daddy wanted to sleep in some more... Thank you! The time went very fast though and before we knew it we were dropping them off at the airport.

Jalen's Dedication

My parents came down from Lismore for the week, Daz's parents came for the day as did his Brothers, sister-in-laws, sister, niece's, nephews, and Aunty Rainy. We even had a friend from Sydney - Ken.
