Tomorrow Joshua is 12 weeks old. Omi took this photo on the afternoon of his Christening after all the guests had gone and things were much quieter.

A lovely photo of Joshua

Joshua’s Christening Service

Today we had our beautiful boy Christened at St Bede’s Semaphore, the Clark family church.

The Service

Joshua and Mummy

Joshy cried the whole time! (lol) clearly he didn’t like the lace on the dress, or wearing a dress!! The dress Joshua wore was my Christening dress and was worn by Taylor and Daniel too as well as some of my cousins. It was very special for me to see him wearing it too.

Omi and Opi with Joshua

I will let the photos attached speak for themselves.

Before Joshua

Before Joshua was born, John and I went to have a photo shoot done to celebrate the soon to be birth of our son. Here are two of the wonderful photos we had taken. There are a couple more that we are keeping private for ourselves but these two are really nice. The one of John kissing my tummy is my favourite.

The great bake off

Apple pie

We have been having a few bake offs since the week or so before Joshua was born. I made an Apple Pie for the first time in my life.

John made a Banana Cake that was sensational. Here are the pics!

The Baker!

Boys!!!

Look at this photo of Daniel……no words need describe what I thought when he did this!!

errr...excellent Daniel

Joshua – 9 weeks old

On his playmat

Joshua was 9 weeks old this week. He is growing well and is a very happy baby. On the odd occasion he has a grizzly day but most of the time he eats, sleeps, plays and is starting to smile a lot.

At Joshy’s 8 weeks check up he weighed 4.5kgs. He has grown another 1.5 centimeters in length and his head circumference has increased by 1cm.

Joshua follows us around the room with his eyes now and is lifting his head more and more when on his tummy. He likes looking over our shoulders when we cradle him up there.

He plays on his play mat very happily and enjoys the caterpillar toy Taylor gave him.

On Wednesday he had his first round of immunizations. He didn’t cry very much and while a bit unsettled for the afternoon after having it, still slept well and seems not to fazed by it now.

A beautiful smile

Baby Power

Last week Omi and Opi were over and we took Joshua to the football for his first game. Fortunately Port won! Joshy must be a good luck charm.

Joshua – 6/7 weeks old

Well derr! I wrote this post and didn’t publish it 2 weeks ago when I should have!!

Joshua was 7 weeks old this week. Wow has time flown by since he was born. We can not believe it has been almost 2 months since his birth.

He is starting to smile now and turns his head when we speak with him. He has a very strong neck and lifts his head up off the ground when on his tummy, as well as throwing himself around when he’s in your arms. We have to hang on to him!!

He weighs over 4kgs now and is a healthy eater.

We had our first trip away with him, when we flew to Canberra for a Blackburn Bootcamp and he was very well behaved on the plane and didn’t cry at all during take off or landing.

He is only waking up once a night and has slept through a few nights as well (which was very nice!!).

Unfortunately he also got his first cold in the past 2 weeks. All of my “boys” have been sick, with John even spending 3 days home form work. Taylor and Daniel have been home off and on as well but they all seem on the mend now. Lucky for me I have not had anything but a sniffly nose, so fingers crossed. I am taking lots of vitamins!

I have attached a few more photos, he’s is such a beautiful boy..I’m not too biased, everyone keeps telling me!
