Maybe we should just tie him down.

The main reason for this update is to upload the video that shows off how incredibly clever our kid is, and at the same time petition for your sympathies regarding Jackson's increased freedom. I'm starting to believe that there is a direct, inverse relationship between the freedom of the child and the freedom of the parents. Gone are the days when we could just put Jackson in his pack-and-play and let him scream himself to sleep.

This means it's time to buy Jackson a bed. Up to about an hour ago, the pack-and-play had one outstanding feature: it could hold Jackson captive. PNP's days are far from over: it will have a new resident in September, and will probably come with us to Australia.

In other news, we are probably leaving for Australia towards the end of the year. After working for a while, I've decided school is a lot easier and less complicated, and so I'll be resuming my professional career as a student. Other reasons we are moving to Australia:

- The ready availability of sausage rolls
- Not having to wait a day and a half to watch Rugby League
- No snow
- Be with family
- No snow
- Baby bonus (cha-ching)
- So Tiff's family has an excuse to visit Australia
- No snow
