We spent half of Week 49 of Joseph's life in Onemana and then came back to Auckland. Dan, Joseph and I went to Joseph's follow-up appointment with Bill Baber, the ear/nose/throat specialist, to see if Joseph's ears had improved over four weeks or whether Joseph would become a candidate for grommets. Luckily, Joseph had shown great improvement and we won't be off for grommets unless he gets two successive bad ear infections over winter.

Our neighbours, Glen and Anja, have a pool and let us use it...here's a picture of Kate and Harry making use if it. We had such amazing weather over this time.
Joseph has been working on his climbing skills and he is determined to get as close to the television as he can!
I haven't taken a photo of Joseph on his chair for awhile...this was taken just before we went to pick up Mum from the airport...Joseph has on an outfit completely supplied by Grandma (looking a bit porky though!).
