Our cheeky little monkey has decided lately that early mornings are a great time to smile and giggle and keep Mummy awake.
But with a face this cute how could I possibly get mad.

Footage Friday: Mum and Dads Day Off
So a couple of weekends ago, we kind of tagged teamed our parenting responsibilities on the Saturday so that we could both go out and enjoy ourselves. It guess you could call it, ‘Mum and Dads Day Off’.
We decided to do a video blog on the day, but until only recently, all the footage remained on our hard drive as an unedited project. Well, I finally got around to editing it, so we can finally share what we got up to on the day…
After all, this is called the ‘Not So Secret Life Of Us’!
Renee had the morning shift with Jesse so that I could go out to celebrate the 30th Birthday of my sister’s boyfriend. He had schedule a bunch of us (about 20) to play Laser Tag at Mango Hill Skirmish.
It was an absolute blast and was even a great workout, running around the course in camouflage and with a heavy Laser Tag gun.
I got home just after lunch to take the afternoon shift with Jesse so that Renee could head to a country music themed race day at Doomben Racecourse. She also had a blast, having the afternoon and evening off and being able to indulge in a few beers too.
We capped the night off with some finals football (Rugby League) at home and were all tucked up and in bed all before the stroke of midnight.
All in all, it was a pretty successful day of fun I think…
Monthly Milestones: 3 Months
Babies grow and change so quickly and ours is no exception.
So we decided it might be fun to record a video each month to create a snapshot in time that we can look back on in the future.
An opportunity to capture the milestones he reached that month, funny stories, his likes and dislikes and our thoughts and feelings as parents at each stage.
This is the first instalment.
Photo Friday: We Love the Gympie Music Muster
If you are like us, there will be one or two events that come up every year that you simply can’t miss. And for us, one of those events is the Gympie Music Muster!
If you love music, food, festivals and camping, The Gympie Music Muster is the place to be. And you don’t have to be a country music fan as there really is something for everyone.
We have been going for years and years now, and every year it seems to get better and better.
This year however, is a little different to previous years. Different, because we have our little Jesse with us.
This is our first time camping (well, you could say “glamping” considering we have a pop-top caravan) with a baby. Something that we thought we prepared very well for.
So how is it going? Have we survived so far? Well… you will just have to wait until we get back for us to release our usual ‘Muster Vlogs’ showing what exactly we got up to this year at the Gympie Music Muster.
In the meantime however, if you would like an idea of what the Gympie Music Muster is like from our perspective, below is the three part video series we filmed last year.

Photo Friday: Maternity Shoot Flashback Friday
So we thought for today’s photo Friday, that we’d do a flashback Friday post. And we are flashing all the way back to our first maternity photoshoot.

Photo Friday: Baby Barton Diaries – The Final Chapter
What’s this? Another video for Photo Friday? You betcha!
Throughout our pregnancy, we uploaded a series of videos called ‘Baby Barton Diaries’. Well, as you are all aware, our pregnancy journey came to an end just over 4 weeks ago when we welcomed little Jesse Jack to the world.
Yesterday we recorded the final Baby Barton Diary entry where we talk about the labour and delivery, our experiences at the hospital and my infamous ‘Cigars, Scotch and Cards’ night to celebrate the birth of Jesse.
Because of it’s length, it ended up becoming 2 separate videos (Part One and Part Two). So that said, we hope you enjoy the 2 part finale of our ‘Baby Barton Diaries’ video series.
Part one:
Part Two:
If you are interested in seeing any of the previous videos we did throughout our pregnancy, you can check them out on the Baby Barton YouTube Playlist HERE.
Photo Friday: Pregnancy Time-lapse
Our Photo Friday is a bit different today. Instead of sharing a photo, you are getting a video of photos.
Throughout our first pregnancy, we decided to take photos with the hope of putting together a pregnancy time-lapse. And now that our little Jesse is finally here, we were able to finish the photo series and edit the final product together.
There isn’t any gimmicks in this time-lapse (like pumping the pregnant belly up with a bicycle pump, which we have seen in a similar video), but it turned out just how we imagined.
So here it is for you to enjoy, our pregnancy time-lapse, which is a record of the progression of our first pregnancy.
