Baby Joe at four months

Frances, Christopher and Baby Joe came to Cambridge over the Easter period, and it was astonishing to see how much Joe had grown since we last saw him back in February.  He's a big lad, and is already wearing clothes aimed at babies who are considerably older.  Probably the biggest change, other than his sheer size, was that he now gives everyone big, beaming smiles which melt the heart.

On Easter Sunday, Harriet and I were on "grandparent duty", looking after Joe while Frances and Christopher went to have tea at the newly re-vamped University Arms hotel.  We took him to the Botanic Gardens, which he seemed to enjoy.  We certainly did.
