Another busy week for Joseph in week 25 of his life! We've changed daycare days for September and Joseph is now going Tuesdays and Thursday (rather than Wed and Thu). The change didn't seem to worry Joseph at all and he slept and ate well on both days at Bear Park...he'll be going three days a week from October (in Dan's new job he has to work five days a week!). Here's a pic of Joseph and I heading off to work/Bear Park last Thursday. It's still a bit chilly in the mornings so I make sure he's got a fleece and a hat on.


Illegal cot activity is continuing in earnest and we are finding Joseph in all sorts of positions when he's asleep. I've checked with Plunket about the rolling vs sleeping on his back and they said if he's got the head control to roll then he'd be alright sleeping on his side/tummy. Several people have suggested we get him a sleeping bag suit so that he stays warm through the night so I'm going to investigate these over the weekend. Here's pic of Joseph after his morning sleep on Friday - nb only one sock, no blankets and presence of toys.


I'm always keen to document Joseph's outfits and here's one from yesterday wearing his newish jeans and his rugby top (thanks to Aunty Di and Uncle Ben) - I'm not sure how many more wears we'll get out of the rugby top but I think he looks cute.


We had Mother's Group yesterday afternoon - lots of fun with five (of the six) babies present. Here's another pic of Joseph and his friends...they're all so much more active than the last time we took pics. This shot is the best of the bunch and after this was taken they all started to collapse on each other. They're in boy/girl order this time - William, Sarah, Joseph, Lizzie, Taylor (Joshie is missing). Taylor and Joseph are by the far the biggest - we weighed them on Chantell's scales - Taylor 9.6kg and Joseph 9.2kg. The other's are in the low 6kg range!!!!
