A Month of Firsts

We've had a lot of firsts this month.
  • Nicholas had his first car ride when he was just 4 days old. Here is a picture of us as we're leaving the Mater Mother's Hospital.



  • He had his first visitor when Ryan's mom, Grandma Linda, flew over from California and stayed with us when he was just one and two weeks old.



  • He visited the International Airport for the first time when we picked up Grandma Linda
  • He had his first (and second) dinner party with Marg and Howard when he was just 6 and 11 days old
  • He went to the grocery store & to Target for the first time with Grandma Linda, Ryan and me. It took all three of us to tackle our grocery list. Ryan minded the baby, grandma pushed the trolley, and I pushed the stroller as I put the groceries in the trolley. And, of course, he had a pooh explosion at both stores :)
  • He took his first ferry ride across the river to downtown Brisbane in order to get his Queensland birth certificate, and he slept through the entire thing.



  • He took his first walk around Kangaroo Point in his new pram
  • He took his first City Cat ride & went to his first Powerhouse Farmers Market when he was 10 days old



  • and he had his first professional photo shoot when he was 2 weeks old




I'd say we've been a pretty busy family this month.
