This post is for w/e Sunday 1st November 2008.

I seem to have more Joseph photos this week - sorry, George!

First up, George - another great week on the rolling front; going well rolling from back to his right side and on Sunday he started to roll to his left side. He's still getting stuck/frustrated but the little nudge sets him right. He is reaching and grabbing onto toys and things are starting to make their way to his mouth. He is also doing lots of talking and giggling. He's a model pupil when it comes to sleeping - we need to get him to train Joseph!

Joseph had his 12 month grommets check with Dr Bill Baber...they're still in situ so we need to go back in another six months. Bill said we're getting good value for money!

Here's a comedy shot of Joseph (wearing an outfit from Grandma) squeezing into a small space amongst his toys. When I asked him what he was doing he replied "I'm squashing".

It was Dan's birthday on Thursday... Joseph was very helpful opening the presents and he also sang a great rendition of "happy birthday" (complete with burp mid-song). However, it transpired that it was "Joe and Daddy's birthday" so he got to help blow out the candles too. We gave Dan some Instant Kiwis and Joseph started his gambling career.

Thursday was also photo day at Bear Park. I carefully dressed (ie stage managed) the boys into matching outfits and off we went for some brotherly pics. Joseph was receptive to the photograher so I hope to get some good shots of him however George was a bit tired so I'm not confident about his pictures. I did manage to capture this one of the boys when we got home.

On Saturday, we had another gymnastics session and then Lizze came to our house for a playdate. The last couple of times they've been a bit niggly with each other but on Saturday they were very good and were telling each other when the other could have a turn on something - they watered the garden, kicked the ball around, dug the garden up, went on the see saw and had a tea party.

Finally, amongst all of this, Dan decided to trim the hedge. Joseph loves helping Dan so it wasn't long until Joseph got on the tools!
