Week 66 saw Joseph spent several nights (10 in total) sleeping in our bed from about midnight on...who knows what was causing that...teeth, boredom, cold. That habit was broken on Thursday night and he's back to being an angel!

Joseph's speech is coming on well, with quite a few "words" coming out..."all gone" is a favourite, "alright" (more like "alra"), "oh no" and since yesterday "up", "down" and "da da". He also likes to shake his head "no" and roar like a lion!

Another little quirk he's picked up is to walk with his hands behind his back, very amusing.

Joseph had his 15 month injections on Friday morning and now he is fully immunised...no more shots until he's 4 years old. He had the usual thigh jab but also MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) in the arm - that was a bit of a surprise for us but he has been fine.

We went to Piha on Saturday to stay with Jo, Phil and Lizzie (they have a beach house there). It was very stormy and we stayed inside all day with the fire cranking. Joseph and Lizzie got on very well and tore around the house like monkeys possessed! Lizzie is into tidying things away and Joseph is into getting things out so they made a good pair. Here they are after dinner on Saturday night.
