I think Aunty Emma-Lee needs some practice at baby sitting...













Helping Poppa eat his dessert. There's another photo of the two of them both licking the bowl...


















Josh takes a turn at starting the plane, with Daddy and his cousin Anthony watching.













Michael helps launch the plane on bumpy paddock. I was so busy watching it fly I forgot to take a photo of it in the air!













Jeremy puts up the antennae he made so we can get Calvary Chapel Radio, which I'm really blessed to listen to every day.

Camping at Waikawau Bay, New Year





Josh's inflatable bed, in the tent.












Josh helped with the cooking...














Back home, how to cool down after work...













Trying out his new toy while eating breakfast, Christmas Day

Why Josh isn't ready for a bed yet...













Favourite thing to do - copy whatever Mum is doing!!












Second favourite thing - reading!

First lollipop - and cried when it was finished!

Either cleaning or making more mess... But having fun with Dad!!!

Trying out his birthday present from us - all ready to go camping at New Year.

Preparing the plane for it's first flight with Josh bemoaning his bare feet on damp grass...












It flew!!!!!!! So exciting, I'm not sure who got the greater thrill, Jeremy or me!

Favourite soft toy - monkey, almost as tall as he is ,k!

Uncle Andrew bought Josh a monkey from Singapore Zoo - he can even make monkey noises. Josh, not the monkey...











Josh goes visiting the Bells next door...















He does this all by himself.














My bargello styled quilt - "Lightening Strikes". That's about 2/3 of it lying in strips on the bed. For those of you who have been asking what on earth a bargello quilt it!

Yay! She's taking photos of me again!















Yay for birthday presents!

















Waiting for dinner with Daddy...















No help was needed here... little monkey! =)

He does have hair!!!!
















Yay Uncle Andrew ishome!






Farewell performance on great Grandma Worboys' piano...






I'll just sneak up and grab a mug while no one is looking...

Enjoying the "beach" at Dannevirke swimming pool.

I know it's been a while, but our camera died beyond repair, and I haven't gotten around to downloading any of Karen and David's photos. Josh is growing as usual, has one tooth (top left) and is working on the next one, is just getting over a chest infection, and is, as usual, a fun bundle of energy. Still waking during the night most nights, and we'll be very happy to get through this long and painful process of teething, but his smiles and chuckles and games inbetween make up for it all. =)

Maestro =)

Josh orating under the tree out front.

Josh and friends at coffee group - 10 babies in our house!! And trying out James' trike. (Can't get a photo with his eyes open if using the flash!!!)

Midnight snacker caught out...

Sadly this photo doesn't show what a little grub my "helper" in the garden was that day! He loves his morning dose of sun, pot plants and water, especially if I'm not watching close enough and he gets into the pots with dirt in them. He has two empty ones to play with, but how boring! Gotta have dirt!!!

At Karangahape Gorge with Nana and Poppa

Little street kid tries out a new bed.

Josh "helping" Jeremy clean the shower door - did a beautiful slide down backwards into the bucket all by himself. =)

Little electrician at work...hidden behind the couch...

Josh singing to his own accompaniment

Yay! got some photos on here at last!!! As you can see, Josh is growing, 7+ months now, and so much fun. Praise God he is sleeping through the nights again about 11 hours, what bliss!!! Crawling everywhere, standing up at anything that will let him, moving from chair to chair etc. Everything has gone up a level, and I love listening to him singing as he makes his way around the house. No teeth yet, (luckily for the low window ledge and Snoopy) and not particularly fussed on solids, though now will crawl to highchair for dinner when I tap the tray with his bowl. Such a joy, and we're thoroughly enjoying him.

My little rover off exploring again - he was playing with the mirror which he loves, and then saw the basket, another favourite, and of course took the shortest route there!!! (Then got stuck...) =)

Sorry, can't turn it round - just wanted to show how my little Rover sleeps!!!! =)
