Week 112 and Sophia is back in a blog seat. You may have noticed we're now blogging on a Monday night (rather than a Sunday). We're having a few problems with the camera and laptop not talking to each other so Dan has been downloading the photos at work.

Anyway, things were pretty much back to normal for us last week - the nappy rash was down to a very raw 50c piece sized bit of bottom - I've checked Joseph's gums and the molars are definitely through! Joseph did some quite good sleeping at the beginning of the week and some more average sleeping at the end of the week.

We have been struggling valiantly to get Joseph to wear socks on these colder mornings - he is still wearing his Crocs and we can't get him to wear his new "Thomas the Tank Engine" gumboots. I guess we'll have to keep persevering!

You may have noticed that Joseph has developed an aversion to looking into the camera at photo time...we tried to make him look at the camera by making funny faces/noises and here's a not so bad result.

I did some baking on Friday and here is Joseph following in his father's footsteps having cake for breakfast on Saturday morning!

Over the weekend, Dan's sister, Margs, and her son, Zac, came to stay (up from Christchurch). Joseph was a little bit quiet around them on the Friday night but gradually warmed up to them! So much so that he insisted on carrying around a can of Coke most of Saturday afternoon - just because Zac had one.

Dan took everyone up to Mt Eden on Saturday morning and Joseph was fascinated by the cow pats and has taken great delight in talking about the cow poos quite often (including this morning at Bear Park!).

Joseph doesn't mind doing a bit of drawing and here he is on Sunday morning getting artistic.

Finally, a picture of Shelley (Dan's cousin) and Joseph. This is Shelley's third appearance on the blog - from when J was a tiny baby to now a big boy!
