Hello! I am finally able to have some time to post in here LOL. I have been poking around elsewhere on here, but not had a chance to read and to post in here.

Lindsay is only just feeling better today. I thought he could have gone to school yesterday, but when I went to wake him up to get ready for school, he'd jsut been sick in his bed. And then was sick on the lounge 10mins later. So I spent the morning washing and cleaning before I had to go to Erin's Preschool graduation and concert. So he is finished for the year now, no point sending him to school for only one day tomorrow.

I have finished the Christmas shopping too. Not that I had much, but it was just the last minute things like food, sticky tape, gift labels etc.

I have been sitting Alister up in his stroller too a bit now. He likes to look at the world going by too LOL. He looks so cute when he is sitting up as he is getting really good at it now. I was looking at some photos of Paige when she was a baby and she and Alister are so much alike its scary. Everyone says that he looks like Lindsay did, but looking at these photos he is Paige all over. I will post a pic of her and one of Alister once the gallery is working again.

He has a funny growth pattern too. I weighed him last week and he'd gained just over 300gm, but stayed the same length, but this week he'd only gained 50gm but grew 1.5cm to 67.5cm. So it seems like one week he puts his effort into gaining weight and the next it is growing in length. So he is nowhere near ready to move up to crawler nappies. I have a box here I brought on special ages ago, and with some of your girls saying you've gradutated, I thought I would try one on him, and it's way too big LOL - the tabs cross over themselves. So we'll be using infants for a while yet.

And we've discovered that he hates loud music. At both Lindsay's presentation day and Erin's graduation they had loud music during it and he screamed the whole time. At Lindsay's presentation we were right under the speakers where we were sitting and I couldn't leave, but I went outside during Erin's.
Thanks for asking after my step Dad. He is OK, but the prognosis has been mixed really. They have given him 5years, but that's not really here nor there - a person could be dead by then anyway kwim? The urologist told him that he could have either chemo or radiotherapy, but both only have a 30% success because of the tumor growth and type of tumor that it is. So that's not really promising. He isn't the sort of guy to take that path anyway and would rather hand in his chips and leave it to the gods so to speak and he wants to have quality of life, not quantity as he has seen Mum nurse her Mum through cancer treatment.
