Yes, there have been plenty of sleepless nights this week, but to be honest, it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be! Having said that, I'm due for some better sleeps this week as I've been banished from the room with Aki and Joshua. Apparently, the more tired I get corresponds to how loud my snoring gets, so with this week being more tired than usual, Aki and Joshua have to try and sleep through my nightly concerts. As much as I want to sleep with them and help out in the wee hours, it's not really helping anyone so we'll see how it goes this week!
Joshua is growing bigger and starting to display a wider range of facial expressions. His gorgeous smiles are becoming more frequent but he hasn't learned to hold them for the camera yet! He is also responding to different sounds and enjoys listening to some music (He really liked The Black Eyed Peas and Sergio Mendes). He also loves to take a bath with me each night, maybe it's his favourite part of the day?
Yesterday we took Joshua out in public for the first time. We went to the department store to do a bit of shopping. He pretty much slept the whole time, while Aki and I enjoyed listening to people say how cute he is :)
Anthony came to see Joshua today (Liam was sick so couldn't come) and Joshua enjoyed being held by his uncle so much he fell asleep!
On the home front, Operation Garden has begun. I spent two hours in the front yard today digging out roots and weeds. Next weekend Hajime will help me as we lay down some pebbles and maybe plant the grass seed. Really looking forward to seeing the project finished before summer comes!
