Camping @ Brunswick Heads - waterfront style!

Challenge 101 - go camping with a newborn - CHECK!

Well we went down to our usual spot down at Brunswick Heads on Friday as we had a waterfront site booked in for the long weekend. We didn't leave as early as we would have liked so got stuck in a bit of traffic but we finally made it around 5pm. Some lovely neighbour campers came and offered a hand setting up the tent as they could obviously see I had my hands full and it was starting to go dark.

The kids always act like turds when we first arrive at camping. Getting used to their new surrounds I guess. We unpacked everything and chilled out to take in the beautiful water front view. Elijah was pretty good. I just gave him the boob whenever he needed too, which seemed a lot hehe.

We spent the next 2 days just hanging out at the site, laying in the hammock by the river, kids went for scoots and 'detective' walks, swam in the river and many a cups of tea!

We notice that from around 3am Elijah is quite unsettled. He grunts and squirms and pulls his legs up to his chest like he has wind. We have helped wind him and some of his farts sound like a grown man's fart! Cracks us up.

We left on the Monday and because we had a lighter setup this time (no tarp) it didn't take as long to leave. We had an amazing time and would love to get a waterfront site during our xmas holidays. We may be waiting a while though!

Sammy is 2 months!

Well my little man is 2 months old! Although it does feel like he has been in our lives forever! Thought I would do an update on us while Samuel is having a sleep. He is such a good baby, and I noticed this since we made the fulltime switch to formula. I tried with b/f but it just wasnt working for us. S is such a more contented and happy baby. S had his 2 month needles the other day and it was the hardest thing I have had to do! I had to hold his poor little legs down while they stuck the needles in him. The first one was bad and he cried but stopped pretty much straight away, but the second one OMG He screamed so loud and his face went bright red and he was so sad.... :( It took me 10 mins to soothe him. Im defiantely not looking forward to his 4 month needles. He is almost sleeping through the night now! Bedtime is between 7-730pm, and I follow the bath, bottle, bed routine. This has helped him realise bedtime is approaching and he starts to unwind! He will generally sleep until bet...

Mr Timmy came for a visit

Image
34 weeks 6 days Tim was up in QLD for his school rock-band tour and so we decided to meet up for dinner. It had been over a year since we had seen him last. We went to the Glen Hotel and had a nice dinner. A few hours before we had left Samuel fell face first into gravel in the front yard. Poor lil thing was all scratched up. But he was really well behaved considering it was late at night when he's usually fast asleep. Here are some pics:

Merry Christmas Everyone

Just a quick blog post for our Christmas Day at the Johnson Household. We spent the day at home just chilling. The boys opened their presents when they woke up. They got a mountain bike each and a few other bits and pieces and Elijah opened his pressie as well. We had mum over for lunch. It was a nice day :)
