1st steps

This evening was the first real series of steps that Joseph has made - for the last couple of weeks he's made up to 4 steps on his own, before falling on his bum - but he's been unable to get up without the aid of a chair, sofa, person etc. Last night and today he's "mastered" this art - and I think he'll soon be off and running - this photo was a series of 10-12 steps - and he was well chuffed with himself.

Tim skyped me this evening - it's the first time we've spoken in ages - this is what parenthood does to you!

Joseph was taken to Sick Kids for his final check-up - with the whole reflux thing - and we've been told that his immune system is not the best - but it's nothing to worry about - normal for a small child.... I'm now clearing the kitchen while Cat babysits at Phil & Fi's - we've got a painter coming tomorrow to paint the kitchen - from lilac to a quieter (and hopefully lighter) posh farrow & ball cream.
