It’s 2009 and we’re back……

Howdy everyone, we’re back with our first post since 15th August – some may call this a poor effort, I prefer to think of it as slack. So how to sumarise almost 5 months? Suffice to say: We’ve gone from smown, to smile, to cough, to eh eh, to da da, to roar. We’ve survived [...]

Introducing the Smown!

Jacob has now graduated from frowning to smowning, according to the Oxford English Dictionary the smown….. Smown \Smown\, n. [CF. Paul. smoun, Sw. smown. See Smile, Frown v. i.] 1. The act of trying to smile whilst frowning; a peculiar change or brightening of the face, which expresses pleasure, moderate joy, mirth, approbation, lack of [...]

Call me Roger….

It’s hard to believe another week has gone by and Jacob is fast approaching the end of his first month – and what a week. I’ve finished my leave and started back at work which has been a bit of a shock to the old system; being up at the crack of dawn has it [...]

Turn that frown upside down…..

So, it’s Sunday morning and miraculously I have managed a whole seven and a half hours of sleep and Lara has managed almost ten – hence the update to the website! It’s been over a week since we came home and Jacob has now developed an impressive array of skills, these mainly consist of: Pooing [...]

One Skin, Two Skin, Three Skin….

The wee fella had his Brit Milah (circumcision) today which, rather than being painful, was a great celebration of Jacob’s arrival with all the family and friends. I don’t know who got more of a shock – Jacob with his brit or all the Caulfield crew who had to cross the river. Thanks to everyone [...]

A room with a view and a nappy full of poo….

Only 6 days old and he’s already got the best room in the hospital – check out the views in the pictures below. We missed two days of posting onto the website due to a combination of no sleep, no feeding and me running around cleaning up the house before Lara and Jacob finally came [...]

Slippery when Wet….

The wee man had his first bath today although he didn’t seem too keen on the concept of wet water. Weird considering he has spent the last nine months in liquid – but hey each to their own. As you can see in the pictures below he also got naked today so that he could [...]

Help, my son is already a Magpies fan

Day 2 in the Big Brother House and it just gets better and better; Jacob is even more super cute today. Lara and I both got some rest so are feeling closer to human (whether we will ever be fully human again is another question) and she is up and walking about. However, she chose [...]

Jacob Kaufman Cina has arrived…

Nine months and plenty of shpilkes on, Jacob Kaufman Cina has finally decided to join us. We went in at 7.30pm last night and Jacob was born at 11.45am this morning (4th July / 2 Tammuz 5768); weighing in at 3.64 kilos (or 8lb in ye olde system) . He’s gorgeous with black hair, a [...]
