The weather in Auckland FINALLY cleared up and the sun shone - perfect timing for the start of spring. Joseph has been able to run around at Bear Park, George and I were able to go for some walks in the park and Dan was able to get into his Ironman training.
First up in terms of cuteness this week is George - he is a lovely baby, very calm (except when he is hungry) and is nice and smiley and is starting to "talk" (a key skill he'll need to develop if he's to get a word in with Dan and Joseph!). Here are my two favourite pictures from last week - one of George sleeping in his capsule in the supermarket trolley and the second smiling just before we went to pick up Joseph from Bear Park.
I seem to have captured a couple of shots of Joseph actually looking at the camera this week - a miracle. His vocabulary continues to improve in its range and his speech has become much clearer. His sentences are also getting longer and more detailed (along the lines of "I want to go downstairs and have some milk from the fridge"). We went to Bear Park on Thursday night for a Father's Day dinner of fish and chips - there were about 50 people there (all the parents, teachers and children)...it was really nice to see all the kids present their Dads with their Father's Day paintings. Here's Joseph perched on one of the rocks in the Bear Park garden.
Uncle Gerry was here on the weekend and somehow Joseph learnt to climb the tree...I blame that on Gerry. Here's Joseph "swing-ging" on the tree being a monkey. I am sure this is the start of his climbing career!
Finally, it was Father's Day on Sunday...Dan didn't get a sleep in (we had a bit of a rough night with both boys!) but he did get pancakes, chocolates and Instant Kiwi tickets. We also went out for dinner with our friends, Jo and Phil and their two daughters, Lizzie and Charlotte, to a family friendly cafe (it has a great play area). Here's a lovely picture of Dan and his two boys.
