Odendaal baby #4

CJ joined our family on the 26th of September 00:01am or actually just before but they recorded the time as this so he's not stuck in the gap between 23:59:59 on 25/09/2013 and 00:01:00 26/09/2013
hope that makes sense

CJ is a extremely happy and placid baby hes a big boy with 9lb 15 1/2 oz as recorded birthweight which is 4.520 kg,
We had a great home water birth and all went smoothly, we did end up in hospital on the night of the 28th due to an ABOHDN which caused Jaundice just the same as we had with NJ though his was picked up sooner. CJ only needed a 2 night hospital stay though with the light therapy and we were home Monday afternoon.
CJ learnt to smile by 3 weeks old and has been smiling just about all the time hes awake since. hes a chatty boy with lots of noises to make and fits in well with the family.
Big brothers NJ, EJ and AJ adore him and always want to help out and take care of him though AJ wanting to help by making sure his baby brother has his pacifier whilst actually sleeping isnt always the most helpful option but he does try and often is trying to drop hints that himself or CJ might need a nappy change or food /drink and bringing me the right things.

My parents are here for the holidays with my brother and youngest sister J and L in tow though currently as I write this they are in Ireland taking a explore around the area that my family originates from. They will be back on Saturday for Christmas and New Year then off to Paris to see the sights before coming back for a final few days before they fly out back to Australia.
