Happy Birthday Joshua!

Today is Joshua's first birthday! And what a great year it has been.

He is 84cm tall, weighs 11.98kg and has 7 teeth. He also started to walk all by himself 3 days ago (on Monday)!

Today we held a birthday party for him with all his little friends and tonight we will have a braai (BBQ) and drinks with his bigger friends. OK, so they're my friends.

Below I have added a collage of Joshua's first year!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY SON!

Post New Year shopping

She finally managed to drag me out shopping today. I wasn't too keen to join the throngs of people looking for a bargain, but I was promised the ultimate treat - a latte and a slice of fresh carrot cake!

We caught up with friends for a quick lunch where little Josh proceeded to s#!t himself from top to toe. So much so that Deb had to go next door to buy him some clean clothes to change him into!

The joys of being 8 months old!

It's Friday again and time for another photo.

This week I thought I would share one of my favourites of my son.

Hope it makes you smile. Have a great weekend.

DelBoy on...

OK, so it's been a while since my last post (about 2 weeks!). Time for a little catch-up!

DelBoy on work: I'll start with the boring stuff. Work has been really busy since coming back from my holidays. I'm running two pubs at the moment. The second pub is a gastro pub in Holland Park - very posh! It's fun, 'cos its something very different. They do double the sales that my other pub does and they do as much food in a day as what my pub sells in a week! It's only short-term until they find another manager, but apparently I'm there for at least another 4 weeks!

DelBoy on Carnival: I had a great Carnival this year. Not the working bit or the money we made, but the after-party I had with my staff. We drank steins (1 litre) of Margarita and shots of vodka until 3am. The neighbours were having a wicked party on their balcony which we joined. The next morning I felt it though!

DelBoy on Josh: The weekend before Notting Hill Carnival, we had an incident with Josh. We rushed him to hospital, but he is 100% now. As a matter of fact, they found nothing wrong with him at all!! They can only guess at what happened, but I tell you what, IT WAS F#$£!^G SCARY!! He is great now except that he went for his injections this week which he was not too keen on.

DelBoy on holidays: Malta is great! If any of you get the chance, just do it! Its quite cheap too (well if you come from London it is). The weather was magnificent all week - minimum temperature around 26 degrees C! The food on the island is delicious and very cheap - 3 course meal for 2 people plus bottle of wine for around GBP£15. Not only are there some fantastic beaches, but there is also a lot of history on the isalnds (5 of them) if you are interested in that kind of thing. I managed to do 6 scuba dives whilst there too, including a night dive.

DelBoy on diving: Although the water temperature averaged around 26 degrees C, I was a little disappointed in what I saw under the water. The fishlife wasn't very colourful - a bit like diving in Cape Town. The plantlife was a little better. The night dive was magnificent though 'cos there were loads more fish about. The 2 wreck dives were great too 'cos the wrecks have only been down there since 23 August 2006 and they are still very intact. I would love to go back next year just to see how things have changed! The dive in Comino Caves was also beautiful if only for the magnificent colours!

That's me for now. I will post some holiday snaps soon.

PS: DelBoy on rugby: Despite getting the wooden spoon in this year's Tri-Nations, I would just like to re-iterate my favourite saying, "You're only as good as your last game". And yes, we beat the Kiwis by one point and then the Aussies by 24 - 16!

It's been a long week without much happening in my world. I'm glad I'm not flying anywhere 'cos the airports over here are in absolute chaos!! Let's hope that everything settles down in the near future.

This Friday's photo was taken on Wednesday night. Three guesses who this is!! If you want to read more about what he's been up to, check out his blog.

Joshua update

Our 'little' boy continues to grow every day! He weighed in at a mighty 6.96kg (15lbs 5oz) yesterday! Still putting on about a pound a week. He has now started to grow out of his 3-6 month old stuff!! He is wearing sandals for 6-9 month olds! And you know what they say about big feet... yep, born rugby player!

Anyway, if you want to see some new pics of him, click here.
