Family time - January 2013

Visiting Green Point Park with Joshua's friend, Connor.

 Hannah got this carry cot for Christmas
 But Josh of course wanted to be involved...
 A visit to the beach with Cindy and Rhyno
Carla gave the kids some stuff to colour their bath. But they emptied half the pellets in while I was out the room!

First day of school for Josh and Hannah
 Josh started really enjoying swimming finally, and he wouldn't get out of the pool during Hannah's lesson!
 Josh created his own Christmas tree, complete with a present underneath!
 Driving home from Fish Hoek - peace at last!
 I went up Joburg to be with Richard in the temple. A really special experience!
 Richard's missionary pose!
 Josh built a whole zoo to play in.
 A family outing to Green Point Park, and Caleb took his first steps while we were there!

Joshua moments - January 2013

One of Joshua's friends had his birthday party at a farm venue. Josh took a while to warm up to the pony, but once he got over the initial fear he loved the experience!
 Touching a bunny
 Josh, with his friend Connor
 Waiting for his turn (again) on the pony
 Funny sleeping positions
 Being a clown!
Unfortunately the sound is bad in the first section, but here are some of the highlight from Josh this month.

Caleb moments - January 2013 (10-11 months)

The annual reading of The Grinch in the Herbert household... At least Caleb was enjoying it :)
 Caleb started pulling himself up in the bath. He thinks he's so big!
 Such cute chubby thighs! I had to get them on camera before he slims down when he starts walking.
 Trying so hard to walk on his own!
 Already glued to the TV screen
 And trying to find a movie that he also wants to watch!
Playing peek-a-boo with me under the table and chairs
Caleb spent a night in hospital because of gastro. Not a fun experience! He looked so small and sick in the hospital cot
 The next morning he did look quite a bit better at least!
 Some snuggle time with Daddy. But Caleb never can really stay serious for long :)
 He LOVES his daddy!
 Putting all of Joshua's animals outside!
 Such cute feet! He often sits with them crossed like this.
Some of the cuteness of Caleb...
We visited the Green Point park, and I just happened to be filming Caleb... when he took his first steps! So awesome that I managed to catch it on film! You'll hear my gasp of surprise :) I'm so proud of him!
