Car seat

Just installed the baby seat in the car, it also comes with a convenient beer can holder.

Breakables have been put away (display case with glasses in it etc) toy storage cupboard is in place.

Stair gates tomorrow.

4 more sleeps until we fly

They think of everything

Tracy went shopping today for a stroller (pushchair in English).

I'd already tried it on for size and it has an extendable handle so it works great.

Even Ilya came up and said "cool".

Here's the best part, it comes with a little thing on the handlebars for holding your beer! Is that unbelievable or what? They just think of everything

Disapointment at Superstore

There are a some things you can really only keep in your cupboard if you have a kid.

Today, in the baby section at Superstore, search as hard as I could I couldn't find Heinz Chocolate pudding. Imagine, no chocolate pudding it's one of my favourites. Organic this and that but no chocolate pudding. London Drugs here I come.

On the bright side they had Farley's Rusks which would be another of my favourites, I'm sure Tanner will like them too, he better, they're going to be in the cupboard 'til he goes to university.

Also realized that today was my last trip to superstore where I would be putting food in the place in the cart where the kid is supposed to be. Now that, is a great thought.

Itinerary in place

Good news on the travel plans.

We thought that Trace was not going to get to see any of Beijing but, as it turns out, we're leaving Guangzhou a day earlier than expected. So she'll get to see The great Wall and a couple of other things before she abandons me and Tanner.

Got a crap load of forms to fill out today too.

Finished (kind of) painting the bedroom on the main floor (Issacs room) lots of other stuff to do though.

Like packing.

Packing

I just took Tracys "zebra" suitcase upstairs, but we're still painting, so no packing has been done as of yet.
Tanners gear is laid out on the bed in his room, but, for sure, we'll be packing by Sunday.

Oh, 'ang on, last Sunday meat draw for quite some time, so packing on Monday.

Definitely.

There is, however, a kid lock on the tv cabinet? My karaoke machine is now inaccessible until Tanner figures out how to open it. Denny will be happy.

Packing, Monday, for sure.

I created this blog last year 5 days before Tanner was born.
This is where you'll be able to follow our trip in China.

If it's possible (internet availability) we'll post pictures everyday

cheers

Tony and Tracy

Spike chillin' at the lake waiting for his bro

We're hoping that Spike is going to be as thrilled about Tanner as we are.
He is actually looking forward to more walks and under-the-highchair snacks...
