Almost 2 months!

Hello everyone,

I have been very busy for the past few weeks so thought I would update you on my life.

I had a lovely Easter with Mummy and Daddy... we made hot cross buns on Good Friday, went to church on Saturday and then out to dinner with Mummy and Daddy's friends. On Sunday Mummy and Daddy couldn't sleep so we went down to the beach to see the sunrise, it was my first time at the beach. Then after that we went to Daddy's Aunty's church to see their Easter play (I really liked it). We also had a yummy dinner with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Jeremy.

Then, on Tuesday I went for my two month Dr's appointment (Mummy says she can't believe that it is 2 months already). They weighed me and measured me and I am the right height for my age but a little on the skinny side. The nice Dr said that is okay though because I was born small and Mummy always says that good things come in small packages. Then after that they stuck some big needles in my thighs, I didn't like that at all but I was a very good girl anyway.

I also slept through the night for the first time on Monday night, and then again last night. Mummy seems to think this is the best trick I have...

I hope you all had a good Easter too!

Passport Fun!

Cassia and I had a fun photo shoot while Jason was away at Junior High Camp last weekend... it was an attempt to get a passport photo for her.

Now, this is a relatively simple task for the average adult, or even child who can hold still for ten seconds, but not for a 5 week old.

Stringent US passport standards require that the photo is taken front on, eyes open, mouth closed and with a 'natural' expression... oh, and you cannot have anything other than the person in the photo, so no hands holding her still, or pillows wedging her up!

Needless to say I was very thankful to find a website that allows you to upload a digital photo and they crop it to the right size so you can print it yourself... I cannot imagine taking Cassia somewhere and trying to get this photo done.

It took 3 separate attempts and 98 (I am not exaggerating) photos until we got one that would fit the specifications.

Now, long story short, this website is pretty awesome, because not only is it much cheaper to do it yourself (19cents to print yourself, $8 at the pharmacy) but you also get to pick a pose and picture that you like! So to any friends who are needing passport photos (they do American and Australian ones as well as 58 other countries) check out the site (click here).

Here are our final shots!
