The next day, we had lunch in Bondi Junction and Joseph had a great time crawling around away from us, checking out the cigarette butts, the bikes and generally getting very dirty. We had lunch with Matty, Joseph's Godfather, and the two of them had a great time catching up.

Joseph was a star on the plane coming home and went to sleep as soon as we started taxi-ing to take off. They had allocated us three seats and we put Joseph in the middle, he woke up just before we landed in Auckland.

We got home to lots of cards and presents – thanks to everyone who sent him something. He is very spoilt but we are looking forward to reading the new books, playing with the new toys and wearing the new clothes.

Kate got Joseph this cool ride on motorbike that we gave to Joseph over the weekend – he doesn’t quite know what to do with it yet but he will get there soon enough. He looks quite proud of himself in this picture I think!!
