We are back

So we are safely back from NZ and I'm not going to lie the flight was hell, the jet lag was hell and we are all still getting over it, anyway let's not dwell on the negative. Our holiday was awesome and I am back feeling refreshed and energised.

Mackay is a joy at the moment spending all day playing and jumping around and he took his first steps on Sunday. But I will not bore you with stories of my extremely advanced, extremely cute child, (again today a stranger told me he was cute, it's exhausting trying to think of responses that don't make me sound like a smug git)

In baby and technology news Jamie bought a dv camera, this is a video camera I think but instead of video cassettes the footage is stored on dvd's ?or memory sticks? or memory cards? ah i don't know, anyway it takes videos and the other day I managed to record Mackay's first steps.

Which is amazing for two reasons, first I managed to work the camera and remember which button was record (Jamie watched the footage and then said 'Did you take some stills today? 'I said 'no' but apparently i had, I have no idea how) Anyway i got the video camera working and managed to record him at exactly the right moment, that never happens to me. I was actually trying to record him pooing as his poo face is hilarious but instead I captured perfect footage of Mackay walking for us to have forever, complete with a stupid voiceover courtesy of his mother. 'You're mummy's special boy, you're so clever, mummy loves you so much' Honestly, could I gush anymore? The voice overs are so embarrassing I am considering deleting them from the footage, well I would if I had any idea how to use the video camera, any idea at all.
