4 years today...

My dad, Hudson and AJ's grandpa and Harvey's biggest fan passed this time 4 years ago... So as a tribute, here is a photo of him, not looking too out of place with the fashion of the youth today. And yes I can say fashion of the youth today, as from last week I am officially closer to 40 than 30.

Now knowing that the big fella has super fast access to the internet, here are some recent family shots for his (and your) amusement.

That's an awful big yawn! Mum's not that boring is she?

Bailey and Harvey enjoyed their time together... You know the old saying, Dogs that lie together... don't do much else.

A recurring theme in the Brown household in the first weeks of AJ's life... Sleeping... for all involved. (except Mum)

Hudson hasn't quite worked out how best to cuddle AJ, this is permutation of the Hudson AJ cuddle number 234

A sleepy pout... poised and ready to feed at a moments notice... reflexes of a startled gazelle.

Ingredients. 2 Sleepy dogs, that are way to close to each other, 1 husband with a 2 week old baby, a digital camera and no supervision...

Equals uber cute baby on the dogs photo, that probably gets dad banned from alone time with the children for a little while. Worth every bit of grief I got!

If you can't beat em, join em. So I have a pink one, there is nothing left to do, but take photo's of her dressed up like a cherub. Quality hat!

Alexa has taken to Harvey very quickly. And is very comfortable around him... and on him.

Grandma with her Brisbane grandchildren. And yes Hudson we believe the hype!

What you lookin at?

Hudson AJ cuddle permutation number 437

"Dad, is harvey behind me? if so, he better not do what I think he is going to do"

"DAD... Harvey is licking me again! REALLY do we have to?"

"Listen here fool, don't F*ck with me, or I'll spew on your bed"

It got cold in Brisbane, nearly dropped below 20C, only nearly... But Huddo was getting prepared.

"WOW... check out these things on the end of my arm...Oh sorry Mum, I was suppose to pose then wasn't I"

Caption 1.

A wonderful shot of the Kowald girls...

Caption 2.

"Ok... who farted..."

The Brown boys basking the glory that is the first Brown girl in 60 years.

And a banana.

This is what happens when dad goes into the office for a couple of hours and leaves the rest of the house to their own devices.

"Harvey, you make a great pillow"

"No really, yawn, I can't say enough yawn about the level of yawn comfort up here yawn"

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

K.out

The Harv gets a little AJ love.

WARNING... Photo's of a baby and a Bulldog to follow... Bouts of OOOH and AAAAH will ensue.

As you can see here, Mel is ready to feed a small hoarde of little one's

Just Chillin!

Laugh god damn you!

Alternate Caption

Harvey pulls off the hardest of all frisbee moves, the catch on the head with no hands while seated on a leather couch.

Always vigilant, always alert.... or Always asleep. Big Brother keeping an eye on Baby sistah.

Eyes wide open... "what the hell is that big furry thing doing..."

He's pretty warm... he can stay.

Harvey performs an ear exam.

Alexa is fascinated with the big fella... constantly reaching out and staring.

Look at me... I'm still cute, and wearing pink slippers...

Baby Vengeance.

Alternative Caption.

Harvey pulls off the even more difficult frisbee move, catching baby on the neck with no hands while sleeping on side. Which is quite distinct from the while seated on couch version earlier performed with an actual frisbee

More AJ Photo's and Homecoming...

So Baby and Mumma have made it home, here are some pics from the last days at the hospital and the arrival at home. For the record Hudson is seriously on a high over his baby sister. I have never seen him so excited.

"is this my best side dad?"

I want to cuddle my baby sistah

No Grandma... she's my baby sistah... gimme, I cuddle her.

Ahh, there you go baby sistah.. I'm gonna hug you and squeeze you and never let you go.

Except if Mum has a biscuit.

No really Mum, I only wanted the biscuit.

How big is Alexa?

NEVER leave a new dadda with a daughter alone with a camera for any length of time.

A contemplative look...

This is more of a stunned mullet look

"AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, ye IIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU" She sings like her mum.

Or is this my best side?

Damn papparazzi and their damn flashes... have to get my sunglasses on.

Welcome home!

And now Hudson has unlimited access to Baby Sistah..

Content...

And this is the fishy, and this button turns on the vibrate, and if you do this...

I'm just explaining how this thing works.

A cuddle for my baby sistah

Another cuddle for my baby sistah

And I'll rub her head for luck.

I've had a change of heart, I'll let Gma hold her, so long as I can stay close and she keeps feeding me chocolate when Mum and Dad aren't looking.

Big Brother Harvey gets a cuddle. More pics with Harvey to come... for those who don't like the baby and the animal near each other, feel free to not look at the next blog.
