We survived Joseph's first chest infection last weekend...he sounded like a little whimpering puppy as he couldn't cry as he had a very hoarse voice. We dosed him with Pamol and that seemed to break the fever. Once his appetite picked up on Sunday I knew he was getting better. Joseph was very clingy as well (very unusual) and I had a very sore back and strong arms after four days of carrying him around - my nine kilo sack of potatoes!
He was back to Bear Park on Wednesday and Thursday - no problems there! Joseph seems to have adapted well as he drank all his bottles, slept well and ate lots of lunch on both days. He is still a bit shattered when I pick him up and here's a pic of Joseph in his car seat once we get home at about 5.15pm!
On the milestone front, we have achieved two significant ones in recent days. First is that Joseph has starting rolling - from back to front (apparently front to back normally comes first!) and this morning Dan found him on his tummy in the cot with one arm wedged underneath him and the other down between the bars! Secondly, we have had two nights (Friday 18th and Saturday 19th) where Joseph has slept through (from 7pm to 5.30/6am). This is a very big achievement - something that Dan and I have been looking forward to for a long time!!!
Last pic for this post is a clothes one as I haven't posted any of his outfits lately - he's got a top on from Aunty Teresa, blue velour pants that are hand-me-downs from Tracey and a green sleeveless vest I picked up for $5! You can also see how his sitting has improved.
