Sophia here to document Joseph's 20th week with us - what a week it has been too! It was the first week of our new routine. I went back to work on Tuesday, Dan had his first day at home and Joseph had his first daycare experience. Dan and I agree that it has been a good week and that the new arrangement has been good for all three of us.

I am working three days a week (Tue/Wed/Thu) and am enjoying being back amongst adults! I am being quite strict on my hours and I can see the days just flying by. Dan enjoyed his day at home with Joseph on Tuesday and as the weeks go by I am sure they will start developing their own little routine. Dan did have a bit of help as Denise came for her usual Tuesday visit. Denise has been helping us out since Joseph arrived and usually comes every Tuesday or Wednesday for a couple of hours so I could have a bit of a break - it has been great for all of us.



Joseph had two days at Bear Park; he's a "fantail" and once he gets older and graduates to the toddler room (at 18mths) he'll become a "morepork". There's about seven babies - five girls! Joseph is the youngest by a couple of months and he has three carers, Bronwyn, Antoinette and Mentewab. Here's a picture of Joseph, Mentewab and Molly on his first day.



He was completely knackered on Wednesday and Antoinette said he hardly ate or slept as there was so much going on and he was just fascinated by everything and everyone. He was much more settled on Thursday - three good sleeps, two big bottles and a large serve of vegie mash!

The introduction of solids is going really well and Joseph has yet to refuse any food that that we've offered!! We've got our Plunket weigh-in on Monday 7th and I'm interested to see how much he weighs now.

Finally, here's the latest pic of the Warren family in Noosa...
