Smiles, naps and Xmas

Baby has been smiling and cooing a lot these past few days. It's so much fun! He even reached for my face today :) we have also been catching cat naps as often as possible. Baby has been so much less fussy since we took him to the chiropractor and since I've been eating more carefully. Thank goodness! Also started decorating the house for baby's first Xmas! He'll be two months by then :) 

Baby's first santa pix and new dishwasher and glider

Yesterday, after a pretty decent nights sleep (thank you baby) we took a trip to Harvey Norman to look at dishwashers since ours finally died and never really cleaned dishes well anyway. We did get a new dishwasher and it's amazing! Jose installed it all by himself, super impressive. We also found a used nursing glider chair that is perfect for rocking and feeding baby. While we were at the store they were taking santa pics so I had to get one for baby. So adorable. Can't believe it's almost Christmas!

Final day in perth

Yesterday after we said goodbye to mom and ray we picked up our computer with it's new hard drive installed. Then we headed to the Peruvian consulate to register baby's birth with the Peruvian government. That went well which was great. Overall our few days in perth were a great success except my mom and ray missed their flight out of perth because we all looked at the wrong flight when planning their return. Awful! They did still leave yesterday but it was a terrible situation. We drive home after the appts and got Miski on the way home. So nice to be back in our own beds. Baby slept very well and so did we, yay!

Grandparents have flown home

Yesterday we had to say goodbye to my mom and ray. I miss them so much already. It was so wonderful to have them here and I learned so much from my mom about patience and calming baby, for which I am so grateful. I wish Ryan could see more of his grandma.

Long hot day in perth

We had a long day considering we toted around a newborn. We went to apple to fix the computer and ended up having to leave it there while we went to the consulate. We registered baby's birth and applied for his US passport and other documents at the US embassy. Went back to apple and found out our hard drive is kaput so we have to go back to get it tomorrow. And it is quite hot here in perth today. A big day for baby but he was such a good boy and didn't fuss at all. He is officially 1month old today!!! He saved all his fussing for the evening. Thankfully my mom helped us settle him finally.

Chatting with daddy

I love this series of pictures. It really looks like they are having a little chat about something. We head to perth today for our appts and to farewell mom and ray :( today baby was weighed and he's 10 pounds!!!

4 weeks old!

Baby is 4 weeks old today! He's more alert and cooing and talking more. It's so cute. We've had a lot of outings lately. We've been out shopping and went to visit my coworkers and then our neighbours too. Tomorrow we head up to perth to drop mom and ray at the airport (I'm devastated they are leaving!) and have a few appts at the US and Peruvian embassies to register baby's birth abroad and get his passports. Exciting he will have three!!
