Trip and stuff

Hey darling boy,!
What a weekend! We left home on friday evening with Dad and drove to Sydney where we stayed with Andrew and Maree. You were pretty good on the drive up there. We stopped in Lucknow on the way through to change and feed you - you saw the steering wheel and thought you were in heaven!! You were also waving to all the cars as they drove by!! You goose :o)
We got to Maree and Andrews place where we all just went to bed - it didn't take much more than a nappy change and a small bottle and you were out to it!
We had to be up and gone by 7:30 which wasn't too hard seeing as you woke up at 6:00!! (yeh thanks!). At least we weren't late. As we drove near the hospital we saw Uncle Jon & Aunty Vals car. They ended up following us to the hospital where we swapped cars..... well... you stayed with our car, Val and Jon and Kim (Vals friend) joined you and your toys and stuff! It was up to them where and what you were going to do for the day.
(Your father and I went to a conference at the childrens hospital.) We met back up with you at Aunty Val and Uncle Jons where we saw a sleepy Aunty and Uncle and very alert Gregory! You had worn them out!! They had taken you shopping where apparently you waved and giggled and smiled at anyone you possibly could. They said that you were a very good boy and hardly noticed that I (well... us!) weren't there. (aww) But you were extremely happy to see me and dad when we walked in! Thank you so much for being such a good boy!

After leaving Aunty Val and Uncle Jons we went to see cousin Taylah and her new baby sister Jaime, Debbie, Wally, Karina and Aunty Marg, Uncle Phil and Pappa. The drive there wasn't too bad as you hadn't slept much at all with Aunty Val and Uncle Jon that as soon as we went through a tunnel you were out to it!! *aww*
We had to wake you when we got to Peakhurst but you were so excited to see a little baby! We went in and said hello to Debbie Wally and Jaime before heading down to Aunty Margs and Uncle Phils where Taylah was. You guys had a great time playing on the floor together before standing at the coffee table and playing with magnetic letters.
We ended up staying for a yummy BBQ and you managed to throw all the food I gave you onto the floor! Cheeky boy!

After we left Peakhurst we went to visit Dan who has moved again. hehehe... after driving around for 20 mins we finally found a parking spot! We went into Dans where you had a bottle and I had a drink & Paulie and Dan had a mess around with his REALLY FAST internet. We finally headed back to Andrew and Marees where you fell asleep in the car. I managed to get you out of the car still asleep, but when I got to the door AJ (their puppy) went skitz to see us! Anyhow we managed to keep him calm enough to get you to bed without waking you. Maree and I then oraganised somethings for our trip to Bathurst. We are so excited about it!!

Sunday morning Dad took you to pick Dan up and you went to the Computer Fair at UNSW (I think?..) but you had a great time apparently waving at people and smiling at others (doesn't sound much like the Gregory I know!! haha). They took you to McDonalds near the uni for lunch where you promptly took Dans chippies and ate them!! hehee
While you were with Dad, I had some retail therapy with Andrew and Maree at Parklea Markets (gee I feel so much better!). I bought you some sandles and some pants and myself some shoes too!

i'll finish this all soon! sorry its taken so long
