Aloha!

I recently read this section, and realized I hadn't updated it in over a year! In that time, we've moved to Australia, had a new baby (added to this blog as Babyroo!), and Babykins is now 3! It's been an exciting year.

I'm not even pretending anymore that I'll add to this blog every few days. It's more like once or twice a month - if I'm lucky. But thanks to everyone for continuing to read it. I love my family, and I hope you do, too!

Baby Terms: US vs. Australia

Although they speak English in Australia, it's not US English - which is confusing.  So for the uninitiated, here is a short guide to US vs. Australia baby terms:

Diaper = Nappy
Stroller = Pram
Baby = Bub
Nurse = Breastfeed
Cuddle = Nurse
Pacifier = Dummy

And, the word "heiney" doesn't exist here.

I hereby officially declare you fluent in a second language!
