My lifelong mate Gerrod and his beautiful wife Kristy gave birth to their first child – Oscar Gerrod Thomas – on September 23rd. He is a super special boy and I love him so much. He’s so small and cute and has the worlds most adorable cry as his vocal cords haven’t developed enough to scream the house down yet.

Not to be outdone, best buddy Louisa and her handsome husband Steve gave birth to their second child – Ethan David Dahl – on September 22nd – the day before Oscar. He’s a cutie too and only adds to the awesomeness that is the Dahl family.

It’s amazing how quickly time passes by when you’re life is full and enriched.

Ted just turned 6 week last Tuesday and along with his mother had their first round of post-pregnancy follow up appointments with the paediatrician and obgyn.

All is going well with both – especially Ted – he is eating up a storm, weighing in the 90th percentile of babies his age. The big round head of his is a definite give-away that he knows how to feed :)

Michelle has managed to work Ted into a fairly decent routine now meaning that Daddy isn’t having any sleepless nights – amazing. I’m amazed at how Michelle has taken to motherhood and shown a real talent for rearing our boy.

I’m still loving being a dad. He is just so darn adorable when he looks at you and smiles.
