Foto Friday

This week's Photo Friday is Josh showing off all his pearly whites. He now has 9 teeth!

Photo Friday

We spent a fun-filled morning at the Bramley's Big Adventure centre with Elodie, Simi & Christine.

We played in the ball pits and then in the under-2's area before lunch.

I can't wait to go back again!

I was too tired to eat in this picture, so I just put my head down and went to sleep instead. My mummy tried to keep me awake to feed me, but I just ignored her.

Yawn!

I have been a bit slack with this so thought i would put a few pics from our holiday in South Africa.

Backwards down the stairs

For awhile now Josh has been climbing up stairs but not able to get back down again. A few days before leaving SA he managed to climb down Ouma's back stairs head first and escape to outside. I think he became so good as once he had climbed down there was a big pot of dirt that he liked to throw everywhere.

Today 13/02/2007 he finally worked out how to actually go down the stairs backwards making life easier and safer. He spent half the morning in the pub going from stair case to stair case and just practising go up and down. So cute. I have to now watch him more than ever.

More Teeth

Hi,

Whilst we were away on holidays in South Africa, Joshua got 4 more teeth. His eye teeth were first and then his two front ones. Looks so cute.

The first one came through on 26th Jan 2007 (Australia Day), then a few days later came the second one and then the two front ones came on 5th of Feb 2007.

For someone who was teething he was a great baby and hardly complained. A bit of capole and cal gel seemed to do the trick.

I am still breast feeding him twice a day although with all his teeth we may have to re valuate the situation as he is starting to bite a bit.

Josh's First Shoes - 26/12/2006

We went shopping the other day and bought Josh some shoes. We went to Clarks in Mothercare - Oxford Street and had his foot measured and fitted. They are called cruisers as he is in the standing up and crawling stage. He is wearing a size 4H and wider foot and he would actually be shoeless.....

I have tried in the past to get him to wear shoes but have had no luck but he seems to like these and wears them all the time, (even sleeps in them during his afternoon nap) although he occasionally tries to eat them!!

We have to go back in feb to have his foot re-measured and possibly the next stage in shoes.

Have fun

Crawling and Standing

Josh started of his crawling experience commando style. He would pull himself accross the floor all around the room with the odd roll.
He then on the 19/12/2006 started to crawl on all fours. He now crawls around everywhere. We have had to get a gate on the lounge room doorway to stop him from getting out and wandering off. He has also learnt to stand up. His favourite is to stand in his cot and scream for attention. He pulls himself up at the TV, couch, walls, chairs basically anywhere he can. He really loves to stand but only problem is he can't get back down. Once he learns to be a bit more stable on his legs i'm sure we will have an early walking baby on our hands.

Bye for now

Joshua and Mummy

My cousin Shelley took this pic of Josh and me yesterday and i must say it is the cutest picture of him ever....I just love it!

take care xo

Bath time

Bath time is one of Josh's favourite times. Unlike most babies who relax and go to bed after bath, Josh comes alive. He loves playing with his ducks and splashing his legs. He usually manages to pull out the pluge well.

A couple of weeks ago we went to visit some friends and as they don't have a baby bath Josh had his first big bath with me on the first night and then by himself after that. He loved it as there was so much room to splash around in.

The photo of him bathing above was from when we went on the Norway cruise. They had no bath and the basin was so big we bathed him in that. Fun for all.

Next week he will be graduating to big bath all the time as his babies bath is getting to small.

Bye for now

Weaning

I have been weaning Joshua now for about 2 months. We started of slowly just after he turned 4 and half months with cubes of Apple and pear once a day and he is now onto 3 meals a day.

We start the morning of with a couple of cubes of fruit puree, followed by about 4 cubes of veg for lunch and then baby rice and 2 cubes of fruit for dinner.

It has been lots of fun trying out different tastes for Joshua and we are still introducing new flavours. So far we have had pear, apple, banana, mango, carrot, sweet potato, zucchini, cauliflower, peas and avacardo as well as trying many different flavours in a jar. He is not real keen on peas or avacardo but loves apple and pear.

We have bought Josh a booster seat and he sits at the table and has his meals with us. We have a few more veg and fruit to try and then in 2 weeks time we move on to some real food like chicken casserole....mmmmmmmm

I have attached a few pics of feeding time. He looks quite cute in his seat and we manage to have food almost all over him, me and his seat most times but its all fun....

A few pics of our little man

Josh is good although he has been a little bit sick this past week with a cold and runny nose. He has also been a bit naughty at night and wont go to sleep but hopefully it's because he is not well and when he gets better his sleeping will to....
