Actually, there's nothing very "un-PC" here, but I just watched the first episode of TVNZ's "Politically Incorrect Parenting Show" and got a good laugh out of it - especially as I'm dealing with parents everday and I can definitely see the twisted extremes that some parents go to. Having said that, I hope I can stay nice and relaxed with Joshua!
I didn't realise a whole month had gone by without updating here. We haven't been too busy, but I guess I like to spend my free time playing with Joshua more and more as he keeps growing. It's so fun to watch him slowly develop, but also realise how much he's changed in his first seven months! He is now eating two meals a day, and has a wide range of foods in his diet. Fruits are easily his favourite, but he has no problems eating vegetables, bread, fish and rice as well. Joshua is now sitting a little better by himself. His personal best is about 20 seconds before toppling over! He's still not crawling, but he can move around quite a bit by sliding on his belly - a bit like a seal. Now we have to keep a closer eye on him - as evidenced by his recent discovery of an airplane ticket that he found, ripped and chewed on! His coordination is also getting much better as he plays with toys and throws them around.
It's hard to remember everything we've done in the last month without checking our photo's.... We spent one afternoon at the beach. Tokyo area beaches are not exactly beautiful, but it wasn't too bad. Joshua wasn't too sure about the water, especially when the sand buried his feet in the shallow surf. It'll be a lot more fun next year when he can run and play in the water by himself.
Brad and Colleen stopped over for a couple of days on their way to Thailand. It was much too short a time but we still managed to gorge ourselves on sushi, play XBOX360, have a BBQ and drink a lot of booze.
