I haven't had much to say recently. Been to lots of places (Nan and Grandfather's, Auckland for Nonna and Poppa, Christchurch for Great-Nanna and Great-Grandad, plus Great-Lois among others, Tregona out west, etc), seen lots of people. Learnt lots of things from my daughter. Penelope's nearly 4 months old now, and in a great routine. Been sleeping through the night for well over a month, and only ever woke once per night. Well, maybe two or three times she woke twice, but generally...
Very happy little girl, only cries to tell us something is wrong, and loves to be entertained. We took her camping and 4-wheel-driving this weekend, along with two (as-yet) child-less couples. She loved it, and i don't think we have scared the others away from kids. Although our packing strategies might need to be refined, and it won't be long before tent requirements increase...
So, some video and photos:
This is the car, packed up around Poppy...
We set up a change station in the boot...
Fairly tight squeeze in the tent:
On the southern end of Rainbow Beach. Carmen had driven about 60km of soft-ish sand to get here.
Penelope's first swim. Didn't she love it...
And back in the car again, afterward, chillin.
I thought you needed to see the close-up of the expression on her face. Disclaimer: ALL beach driving (all driving full-stop) was done with all occupants seated legally, including infant, in approved seats/capsule, as is proper and legal.
My amazing wife brought our new bundle of joy into the world on Monday afternoon, at 3:30. I have nothing more to say. There are no adjectives that do the experience any justice at all, except humbling (for me).
We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Penelope will change our lives immeasurably, and expand them beyond imagination.
