Alexander John McCormick - busy busy busy
Well.. its been a while since we've posted anything on here but from now on we should be a bit better a keeping you informed of our movements and goings on at the McCormick/McGregor household. Firstly, on the 25th March 2008 Suz gave birth to little Alexander John McCormick, weighing in at 3.62kg's (8 pounds exactly) and a length of 53cm's (tall I guess?) he seems tall and has massive feet and pianists hands to boot. He has rather a lot of hair and given that his grandfather and uncle on his mothers side are both bald as badgers I'm guessing this is the fathers genes coming through ;) Now not content with all of the commotion that having a newborn in the house entails, Suz and I have decided to begin renovating the house. I'm no DIYer, I can hold a hammer but by no means profess to be the next MasterBuild young builder of the year, so we have enlisted professional help and they began their job - coincidentally, on the 25th March also. So for the next x weeks we will be giving as regular updates as sleep deprivation permits on both. Here are a few of the baby first photos and house demolition photos to ponder and see what we are talking about.
Young Alex is progressing well and our initial experiences with parenthood haven't been too bad, sure he crys a bit and we don't know why, we don't sleep much and we do know why, but we are treating it all as teething problems - god only knows what we will do when he actually has teething problems. The birth although not easy was nothing compared to the horror stories people for some reason feel the need to tell you as soon as they find out your due to have a baby. I think its a way of unloading for some mother's, others seem to enjoy watching you squirm in your seats as they retell obviously some quite harrowing stuff. But for us I wouldn't say it was beautiful but I would say it has in no way deterred us from ever setting foot in a maternity ward again.
Anyway the first week have been an eyeopener, I've finally changed a few dirty nappies but have thus far avoided any projectile vomiting (touch wood long may it continue)

good to hear you have changed a few nappies, but i would have thought Craig would have grown out of that by now....
Great photo's of the bed wetter and the wally weta - the two poles of the cuteness scale!
