Week 24

Week 24 was another success for us and the weather was quite spring like at the beginning of the week. Making the most of this nice weather, Dan and Joseph spent some time outside on the grass on Tuesday and here's a pic to mark that occasion. This was the first time Joseph had been on the grass in NZ (only other time was in Noosa).

Joseph is starting to try and roll from front to back and the only negative side effect of the rolling is that he can now do it in his cot. He will wake during the night and escape from his blankets - we have discovered him in a variety of positions - feet through the bars kicking on the wall; arms wedged between the bars, head at the bottom of the cot. He is also starting to rotate himself when he's on his tummy and this also contributes to some illegal cot activity! Here's a picture from Friday when I found him on his tummy after his morning sleep.


The week culminated on Sunday 3rd September with Father's Day. We had a very nice day celebrating Dan's first Father's Day. Joseph made Dan a card at Bear Park (a couple of green paint smeary handprints on a piece of paper) and also bought Dan his favourite chocolate and a scratchy Lotto ticket.

Also, here is a link to a story about Joseph's day at Bear Park a couple of weeks back.

And for some Bear Park "back issues" here is a story of Joseph's first day at Bear Park on August 2 and a "tummy time" story from August 10.
