Week 34 of Joseph's life ended with a developmental milestone - he has learnt to clap hands! Very exciting and he is so proud of himself (and we are of him!).

I was on jury duty this week (but didn't get selected for a jury!) and we booked Joseph into Bear Park for an extra day so he ended up doing four days there. It didn't worry him at all and I think he had a good time (an even better time than usual with lots of playing the drums, exploring cellophane and making other various noises!).

Joseph's many illnesses have all passed and he is in good spirits - very happy with lots of smiles and heaps of chatting (he definitely gets that from Dan!). His eating is back on track and he's easily getting through three meals, four bottles and a couple of snacks in a day. He even had baked beans at Bear Park on Wednesday (not good for the nappies the next day though!!).

Mum and Dad were here for four days on their way back from visiting their third grandson, Alfie, in Bristol. It is so obvious that Joseph is the favourite and he was at maximum cuteness with them.
