Hello everybody and welcome to my blog. After a bit of a slow start, I made my appearance into the world on Friday 21 November at 12:32pm. The first person I saw was Daddy who was waiting to catch me. Mummy and Auntie Sue reckoned that Daddy would've fainted by the time I arrived but I was glad to see that he managed to hang in there.

After Daddy had expertly caught me, I asked Daddy politely if I could go and say hello to Mummy, as I had grown rather close to Mummy over the last few months. I was very pleased that I got to snuggle with Mummy on her chest for a couple of hours. Daddy says that I must take after Mummy because I do like my cuddles.

I had my very first visitor later on Friday. He looked very tall from my perspective and I was a little scared to begin with. However, Mummy & Daddy had a special name for him - the Godfather - so I figured that he couldn't be too bad. He even gave me a cuddle...

Lee (my midwife) was very happy with me so after a few hours, I got to go on my first car ride. I was a little grumpy about it initially but I did enjoy it when Daddy started driving.

Mummy and Daddy must be part of a big family because Uncle Mark & Auntie Mandy were waiting to see me at my new digs. I even received my first rugby ball. I didn't quite know what to do with it, as I was only 6 hours old but Daddy did promise to fill me in.

After 9 months of having my food delivered, I did find it a bit difficult to feed initially but Mummy is a very good coach and I now reckon I have it sussed. Saturday was very busy as I had lots of visitors - Uncle Andy & Auntie Jo, Uncle Dave & Auntie Cherrie-Anne, Uncle Euan & Auntie Amy, Uncle Murray & Auntie Steph. I do feel very privledged to have so many visitors.

Sunday was a day of firsts as I had my first bath, I watched my first All Blacks game as well as watching the kiwis demolish the kangeroos. Go the kiwis I say!

I've now made it back to my temporary accomodation at the A's before Mummy & Daddy take me on a big adventure back to Vietnam. There are a couple of little girls there who seem quite interested in me, which is not surprising seeing how handsome I am (according to Mummy's opinion and we all know that Mummy is always right).

For those of you who are concerned, Mummy & Daddy are coping well with my recent arrival although I do look after them by being so chilled. I think they find it great that I only wake up once in the night wanting something to eat. I would sleep through the night but my tummy's only little and there's only so much of Mummy's delicious milk that I can store in there. I think Daddy is especially pleased with me because I time my worst poos for when he is out of the house getting supplies.

Well I must go as I hear it's dinner time and I'm not allowed to be late for dinner...
