Visiting Joseph

Last week I spent a few days in Preston, catching up with Katherine, Philip and Joseph. Joseph has grown so much in the last 3 months! As soon as I got there I got a cuddle which made me very happy. He is also smiling and giggling now which is one of the cutest things I have seen. He was a little unsure of me at first, but we are fast friends now! 

Katherine and I made our social plans for the next day before I went over to my hotel.  However the next morning, everyone changed/cancelled our plans! So we just played with Joseph instead and gave him a bath - not as messy and wet as I expected but give him time. (I was trying to teach him to splash!)

We tried to get him to push himself up. He thought about it. Then tried to eat the sofa.

Teased with the hair.

We had lunch in town and did some shopping before heading back to Katherine's for more cuddles. :)

Loving the bouncer.

I also managed to catch up with Danielle and Daniel and meet their little Jonathan, who is also a cutie, even when he was being sick on me.
I am already planning my next trip up and keep buying baby things. My little nephews are both going to be very spoilt by their honorary aunty.
It did snow a little here last week but not enough to even warrant a photo.
The only other news is I managed to get onto the Science 2 Data Science course for March. As it is the second best in the world (the best requires you to live in the USA so no thanks), I am super happy and very excited. So it's official. I am leaving astronomy. :)
