He's a very organised little man, and knows where things go. If he finds your shoes, he will bring them to you and try to put them on. With simple shoes like thongs, he's actually starting to get it right too!

365 - Jan 10
Didn't take a whole lot of photos yesterday, was busy catching up on cleaning from when I was sick. Also, my camera was on charge for the afternoon. We had dinner at Pete & Kat's house, and I was able to catch Zeke in action, I've been trying to get a picture of this for a while!

365 Photos - Jan 9
Annora and Ben's wedding yesterday, it was beautiful. Zeke was really well behaved for the most part too, even though it was a long time to sit still. Also had dinner at Cat & Angel's as normal, but Zeke and Kayleb were both waaaay over tired. SOOOOOO many shits were cracked about the most ridiculous things. We came home earlier than usual and Zeke went straight to bed - didn't hear a peep out of him till 9.30am! As I write this at 10.34am Kayleb is still asleep!

The photo isn't very good, I forgot to turn my flash on, but I just love Annora's face in this. We were singing (well everyone else was, I'm not too familiar with the church's music.) There was a 4 piece band, and a singer - all amplified and I could still hear Annora... just something about the joy on her face and in her voice - I love it! Makes me excited for Ryan's & my big day in April!

Another Checkup....
Friday (yesterday.... I have to keep reminding myself this, I'm so tired lately it feels like it was a week ago already!) we had another check up at the hospital with Zeke's plastic surgeon. Was supposed to be the 6-month post op check but it got moved twice, so it's actually almost 9 months now.
Anyway, we're all up early and in the car and out of the house before 8. Of course, because we've allowed for a long run, the traffic is brilliant, and we made it from our driveway to the end of the Eastern Fwy in about 30 minutes... had we left 10 minutes later, that same drive would have been more like double that.
Get there stupidly early, and head into McDonalds for some breakfast, I wasn't feeling epic, so Zeke ate most of my hotcakes... he usually won't touch my pancakes though hmph! Another bonus to having an early appointment, outpatients haven't had a chance to run late yet, so we were seen ON TIME, and if anyone else has been an outpatient at RCH, you'll know how much of a miracle this is!
Great to see the Doctor (David) again, and show off just how awesome Zeke is doing. I swear that boy knows when he's on display, he either becomes the most perfect little angel, or a screaming hell-raiser - fortunately he chose angel! David checked his head and his scar out, and said they were both looking great, and observed Zeke playing for a few minutes while he chatted to us, and checked if there was anything we're concerned with about his head or development - nothing on our end either.
The upshot of it is - and I use David's words here - Zeke is looking to be a perfectly normal and healthy little boy! (He doesn't know us that well if he used the word normal... But in this case normal is exactly what we wanted to hear!) We don't even have to go back for another 12 months!
We will probably have another neurological check around his second birthday (I'm pretty sure they said they wanted one - I can't remember!) but no more plastic surgery! We were supposed to have more 3d photos done of his head yesterday too, but their camera was broken, so we're waiting on a phone call to make the trip in and get that done.
So good news all round from this appointment. Hooray! Beyond relieved to be able to say NORMAL!

Ps: I will do my 365 photos for the 9th tomorrow, I took a LOT of pics today and they'll take forever to upload.

Got a little bit behind because I've had some horrid gastro the last two days. Thankfully Zeke seems to have avoided it. Feeling better this morning too, which is great, we have a wedding to go to later on, and I would hate to miss it. (Especially as I need some more ideas for our big day later this year!)

Happy Birthday Eliza! Zeke's little cousin Eliza turned 1, and her parents had a picnic at Lower Eltham Park. The weather was gorgeous, not too hot, and there was plenty of room for Zeke to stretch his legs. We even managed to get Zeke to keep his hat on - and tolerate sunscreen so no sunburn! (Hooray!)
Here are Zeke and Eliza playing, they haven't had much opportunity in the past, because one of them has always been asleep when we've gotten together. They were very sweet together, Zeke shared a toy very nicely with her (thank goodness, it was Eliza's!) and Eliza tried to give Zeke cuddles. We will miss them when they move to NSW in a couple of weeks!
Friday 8th January 2010
An early start today, off to see Dr Chong, Zeke's plastic surgeon for a check up. Fortunately we got a good run. We made it from our house to the end of the Eastern in about half an hour! It was Alexandra Pde that slowed us down, it took almost another 30 minutes. We decided to grab something to eat at McDonalds, and have a play on the playground before his appointment, which went really well. It was when we got home that I started to feel really unwell, so spent most of the day lying down.
Ryan is such a big kid! This is one of those rides, you put in $2 and it moves back and forth and plays music for a minute or two. I popped Zeke in it to play while we were waiting, which he loved, and Ryan couldn't resist having a go too!

There's some crappy virus in our house today. We're all tired and cranky, I definitely have an upset stomach and a mild fever. Zeke isn't himself quite either Zeke was exhausted, he went to bed at 7.30 pm and didn't wake up till 8.30am! I passed out on the couch not long after he went to bed myself. He had two naps as well today instead of one, and I slept through both of them as well... so yes, this virus is taking it all out of us!
We had some fun in the evening though, finally got around to setting up the little tricycle that Granny gave Zeke for Christmas and took him for a little walk, he loved it, but cried when we came home! I've had to hide it in Ryan's office so he doesn't scream about it when it's time for bed... speaking of, why is he still awake?
Today's photo...
Zeke absolutely worships Ryan, and wants to be a part of whatever he's doing. Especially when it comes to playing guitar! He's twiddling the volume knob at the moment, and about 2 seconds later went over and clicked one of the pedals... I suspect there's going to be another musician in the house.

Another quiet day yesterday. We were all tired and in bed early!
Zeke still found time to have some fun though, he loves playing with anything he can wrap around his head or neck... in this case my undies. Time to start a dress up box I think...

More whining and crankiness today. Think Zeke is frustrated with not being able to tell us what he wants.. hurry up words! We got away with only one bath though :)
Lots of laundry done today. I'm hoping the weather isn't scorching hot again tomorrow so I can get some more loads on the line. If it gets too hot, I can't stand being out there to hang them.
Now, to the photo...
Aunty Kyla dropped around today with a VERY cool surprise for Zeke... his very own drum kit! He's been banging away like a little crazy thing, definitely takes after his Daddy!
