Joseph is now 26 weeks old, well he'll be 6 months on Sunday, 17th September. Can't believe it really! His development has really come along in leaps and bounds in the past few weeks, he's rolling around like mad, talking away, eating anything that comes his way, trying very hard to crawl (and to teethe!) and even his sitting is improving although he still collapses and looks a bit like a buddha! He seems to enjoy his two days at Bear Park and all the teachers comment how laid back he is, how much more alert he is and that he gives really nice cuddles! I'm not sure what he actually does at Bear Park but I think he's holding his own with the rest of the babies/fantails (mostly girls!).

Joseph has three meals a day and we also introduced rusks with his dinner. This is the second time he'd had them and he'd worked out that they actually provide some sustenance. He had a good go on this one and pretty much scoffed it! They are very messy and I kept finding lots of little bread balls everywhere once he'd gone to bed.

I thought it would be prudent to show everyone that Joseph isn't always a happy baby and here's a pic of him crying! We'd just received a parcel from Grandma (nb bib message "Spoiled by Grandma") and I thought I'd put the bib on before I fed him. He didn't really appreciate this as he was hungry!

Finally, this pic is fresh off the press. I came upstairs to write this post and thought I'd better check on Joseph. I'm not sure if you can appreciate this photo but his mouth is actually wrapped around one of the cot bars. Needless to say I moved him into a more comfortable position.
