Thirteen weeks notched up last night! Yippee!

An eventful week with very wintry weather, a city-wide power cut on Monday and a couple of medical visits for Joseph; plus Mother's Group to see his friends, William, Joshie, Taylor and Elizabeth (sadly no photos yet of MG's babies - forgot the camera!)

But ofcourse, the week started last Saturday with the All Blacks vs Ireland rugby test and Joseph was suited up to show his support for the AB's.

Our Plunket visit was on Tuesday and Nurse Joan gave Joseph a thorough check - length coming in at 64cm (+11cm since birth) and weight 7.5kg (16lb 11oz). So, he's a hefty boy in very good health - these are six month old sizes according to the labels on his clothes.

I am trying to get him into all the lovely clothes we were given before he outgrows them so everyday I seem to be coordinating a new outfit. Here he is in a top our neighbours gave Joseph and some cords that are hand-me-downs from the biggest boy in the whanau, cousin Harry.

Yesterday afternoon was Joseph's three month injections...he was a star and there was very little crying - he's been more circumspect in the past 24 hours but not too grizzly or sick. Dan came too and was able to comfort him!

Finally, a bit of smug parenting...a very cute picture of the big fella to end the post.
