Week 23 with Joseph was completed succesfully but a little bit differently than normal. I had to go to Sydney for a meeting on Thursday 24th and ended up being away two nights (Wed and Thu). I came back late Friday night and Dan really stepped up to the plate for parenting duties - so much so that Joseph was looking at me very strangely on Saturday morning! We had a very early start on Saturday morning (4am!) and we ended up bringing Joseph back to bed with us so we (J and me) could get a bit more sleep.
Joseph was "Fantail of the Day" on Thursday which means the teachers write a little story and take photos of what he's been doing and put it in his Bear Park diary. He was sharing his lovely smile with Jeya (teacher) and Josh (a morepork - one of the big kids) and Josh was bringing Joseph toys to play with. An all round positive sharing experience!
Dan took Joseph for his five month injections on the Friday afternoon and true to form they did not hold Joseph back at all. He was eating and drinking as normal and not grumpy. The trip to Sydney fast tracked our weaning process - Joseph is fine on the bottle but I have been suffering a bit as my body gets used to not having to produce milk!
Joseph's development keeps trucking along with lots of rolling over (still back to front) and he is exploring different textures by rubbing the hands over the carpet. We also think there are some teeth on the way as his hands are always in his mouth, his cheeks have been red, there's lots of dribble and his gums are quite swollen. Joseph is a star on the eating front and is having (and enjoying!) three meals a day.
Finally, I know everyone loves his mohawk but here is a pic of Joseph with his hair brushed down - he looks quite different. And I also managed to get one of him smiling!
