Daniel's New Baby Brother!

Daniel's baby brother, Max Christopher arrived on Saturday, 9th May at 6:49pm at the St Mary's Birth Centre in London weighing 3.55kg.

Max is a very chilled out baby and still spends most of the time sleeping even with a very active toddler making a lot of noise around him!

Daniel is being a great big brother to Max, giving him baby toys, rubbing moisturiser into his feet and giving him kisses. Daniel starts to cry whenever Max cries but we explain to him that babies can't speak yet so they cry whenever they want something.

If Daniel could write this blog entry, he would probably say that the best things about getting a new baby brother are the Dorothy the Dinosaur that Max gave him as a present (note our first family photo includes Dorothy!) and having Gran and Grandpa over from Australia entertaining him.

Daniel has been having a great time...

swimming with Dad...

going to the Science Museum and London Zoo with Gran and Grandpa...

playing at the various playgrounds around London...


going for early morning strolls through a deserted Hyde Park
with Dad & Max (that's Daniel in the distance)...

feeding the ducks at Hyde Park...

eating at fancy restaurants...

and going for walks with Grandpa...

to buy ice-cream!

Who thought getting a new baby brother would be so tiring?!!!
(note that Dorothy never leaves his side).

Congratulations to all of you on the arrival of Max!

Daniel, if your little brother is half as cute as you, he must be gorgeous. Your cousin Tomas sleeps with a dinosaur, too. But it's not Dorothy; it's name is 'T' (short for T-Rex) and it looks just like a real T-Rex. It's a puppet and Tomas can make it seem so real, but it's not scary(it's actually quite a big sook). It only attacks Bratz dolls that dare to venture into Tomas's room.

Love to all,
Auntie Wendy
