Yesterday my mother-in-law came up for the day to see Joel, so we went to Victoria Park which is a wonderful little town park with lots of different things to do and being a Monday afternoon was nice and quiet. The last time I brought her here, he was too small to do anything really but this time...
Joel went on the swings..... (he looks quite small still doesn't he!!)
Then we tried rocking him on a bouncy horse thing. Then we put him in a spinning cup thing (didn't get a picture of that as it didn't last long!). Then we put him on a climbing frame sort of toy with sides and he crawled up and down it for a while (with one of us at each end he was quite safe)
and he loved it being something new and different! I get the feeling it won't be too long before he's running around of his own accord jumping on toys rather than being held by me or Granny!
The funniest moment was afterwards when we went to look at the birds in the town aviary as there was a rather malevolent looking parrot which was very loud indeed and Joel loved him as he could talk to him in it's own language!!
The parrot went 'squawk' and Joel went 'squawk'! They continued to copy each other for a while and Joel giggled to himself and it was all rather lovely!
I caught it on camera too so here you go!.....
