Welcome!!

Well this is a first. I always check out my buddies blogs and after umming and aahing forever i finally created our own blog.
As im sure most of you know by now that we have a new addition to our family, he goes by the name of Jathan Oliver Haskell and he is just so awesome!!

We call him our little 'Buddha', that's only coz he's the chubbiest little guy ever!

Jeannine does the night shifts and allows me to get a good nights rest so that i'm not some crazy Zombie the next day. Very grateful to her for that might i add! otherwise as soon as i get home in the evenings its my time with our bundle of joy. We are loving parenthood and learning by the day.
Jathan is 4 months now and it seems like yesterday that Nin was in labour. He's weighing 8.3kg's, explains why we call him our little Buddha! Ha ha ha.
He looks exactly like his Grandad-Ric. He's carrying alot of the Steyn gene. Tallish and well built (for the men only girls, so take it easy.) ha ha
Loving the experience and amazing memories!!

Short & sweet, cheers.
