3 Months old
Yeah, yeah, it has been a while since I’ve written and posted some pics. I cannot believe that Josh is just over 3 months old now. He has grown 12cm since birth, weighs 7.2kg and is a healthy happy baby boy. He is just such a happy baby where he just lights up the room with his smile and gorgeous laugh. He reminds us time and time again, how lucky we are to have such a beautiful and happy baby boy.
Last weekend, which was the 8th of November, was Joshua’s baptism and we had all the family and friends over for this awesome ceremony. We trekked all the way to Melkbos to our sister parish, the Church of the Ascension, where the baptism took place. Thank goodness I called on Friday to confirm from Saturday and was told that the church in Table View was double booked. But to put a long story short, we made another plan and everything turned out just fine. Thank goodness Michele’s plane was a bit late (she flew in for the baptism) since Godfrey, who performed the baptism, was running a little late too. It was great to see all the family celebrating with us.
Afterwards we had everybody over at the house for drinks and snacks after which my parents stayed on and we had two chickens in the Weber. Yum, yum!
I would like to use this opportunity to thank those who were there for coming and for the wonderful gifts.
On Sunday, we received some AWESOME news! My very good friend, Sven who now lives in Denmark with his wife Jeanine became parents of a new bouncy baby boy named Daniel. I know that when Josh and Daniel meet one day, they’ll become very good buddies, just like their dads became so many years ago at school.
Josh is one determined little boy and I am hoping this is something of his personality that is due to unfold during the next couple of months, years .. we give him some tummy time often. It was only this past week or so that he has decided to attempt to turn his body on his side. He turns the top part of his body, but has been struggling to get his leg over. This afternoon he was able to get his leg over. Not sure if this is fluke, but hey, he did it. Then us turning him on his tummy, the determination to crawl is huge! He really, really tries so hard to crawl forward. You can see he is figuring out how he needs to place his hands, arms, legs.
Bridgitte has gone back to work now, which means that Josh is now in daycare. The good thing is that mom only works during the afternoon, so the time spent there isn’t long at all. But he has adapted very well and his teacher is getting to know him, his bottle feeding, burping and sleeping habits. It is so rewarding picking him up at the end of the day to be greeted with a smile. Then off home, bath time and feeding time. By 7:30 for 8pm, he is in bed, fast asleep.
That’s it. I hope there isn’t a huge delay until the next post.
Oh, and not to forget, some pictures too.
