Earth Hour & More of Seb

So last weekend was Earth Hour ("Earth Hour is a global call to action to every individual, every business and every community. On March 27 2010, people all over the world stood up and showed leadership. Together we are more than "just one person" when it comes to acting on climate change").
Our third year participating saw us head out to Ann & Rob's for a lovely candlelit dinner.
Here's a quick video of Sebastian enjoying a little snuggle with Grandad by candlelight.


And a few photos of Sebastian showing his sitting skills to the world, of course he thought this whole sitting concept was extremely funny and got the giggles.




Of course this weekend is Easter and a four day break so very much looking forward to spending some more time with Seb and him enjoying his first Easter, perhaps I will have to eat his chocolate for him :)

My F1 Videos from Friday.

A few quick videos taken on my phone of these beasts going around from Friday 26th March 2010. Unfortunately we all know by now that the race didn't unfold so favourable for the Red Bull duo of Sebastian Vettel and Aussie Mark Webber.
Vettel bowed out to a brake failure with quite a commanding lead, whilst Webber fell victim to bad timing on his tyre change (from Wet's to Slicks) which saw him duel with plenty of traffic. Webber still managed to set the fastest lap of the race and threw down plenty of great times as himself and Mclaren driver Lewis Hamilton chased the leading four, but it wasn't too be as a mistake by Webber with only a few laps remaining saw him tap the back of Hamilton sending them both off and subsequently they fell back in the field.
Webber managed to salvage a disappointing ninth place from his qualifying position of second.

Fire up the engines, it's F1 time!

Enjoyed a fantastic day Friday at the Qantas Australian Formula One Grand Prix.

Melbourne as usual put on a superb display of all four seasons in one day, the temperature sitting in the high 20's before the change and downpour hit late in the afternoon.

2010 Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix

The first race of the day saw some sensational racing on track by the GT's providing 3 safety cars in a short 8 lap race! Of course a crash on the first corner of the first race set the tone for that race that was full of great close racing.


The RAAF Roulettes put on a spectacular display of aerial work that kept the crowd entertained between races.

Of course the Formula One cars that everyone was there to see didn't disappoint putting in plenty of practice laps even with the afternoon rain dampening the second session. These guys will only get quicker as the weekend goes on and Sunday's race is sure to be nothing short of spectacular!

The V8's closed out the day and as usual used as much muscle as speed to claim their space on the track, our favoured Jim Beam car came home with the victory after sitting comfortably in second all race until the third to last corner when the move stuck.


Qualifying Saturday is now upon us and Sebastian is pumped and ready for the Formula 1's to show their ultimate pace this afternoon/early evening in his pit gear.

Little Man, Big Bed...

Well it has finally happened; Adam has given me the reins of his blog AND Sebastian has moved out of his crib and into a cot!

So after 13 weeks in his crib the time had come to bid farewell.

He could now clearly kick both sides and was running out of arm and head room fast!

So once the cot arrived and the realisation that it came with no instructions had set in (perhaps this was better than me watching Adam put it together without reading them at least I couldn't blame him for winging it) 'we' began to build the cot. I was purely there in a supervisory capacity of course but did provide encouragement and even had Seb asleep just as Adam put the last screws into place.
Perfect timing so that Seb could test out the new furniture straight away. He seemed satisfied with the workmanship and had a long nap. Once he did wake up he had no complaints about it, though we do have to work out how to get his mobile attached to it. At the moment he just looks up at the prints on the wall and his toys; all of which are very funny and well worth staring at :)



He looks soooo tiny again now that he is in a cot that will transition into a toddler bed so he better love it cause for the next few years that cot/bed is all his. Next of course is the car shaped bed according to his Dad but we will see.

So the big question - how did the little man sleep in his new big bed? Well I am pleased to announce that he slept from 10pm through to 7:15am thus making for a very well rested household; here's hoping the extra limb space leads to many more long sleeps for the whole family.
