11 months

In May both our cameras died, so the quality and quantity of pictures declined as we had to rely on our phones.

I went to my very first baby shower at the start of May and it was really enjoyable. I know it's very American, but it's a lovely way to spoil a mum-to-be. The shower I went to was a little bit unusual, in that baby arrived a couple of weeks early so joined us at the baby shower! He was such a cutie and very tiny, just over half of Joseph's birth weight.

A week after we saw dad, he flew out to join mum for her last two weeks in New Zealand and together they came home on the 15th. Joseph and I went down to see them the following day, as I had missed mum so much. It was lovely to have them both back, and mum enjoyed seeing Joseph as he had grown up so much while she had been gone.
