My trip to Daddy's office

I'm continuing to settle in well to my new home in Mysore. I have found a new rhythm with feeding and sleeping this week and even last night I slept straight through from 8pm to 06.30 - Mama was really excited, as was I, because it means even more time in bed in my sleeping bag!

Mama took me to the local hospital this week where I was weighed and measured; I weigh a very respectable and healthy 12lb and am 59cms tall - Mama's milk has some magic ingredients in it obviously! Mama and I go out every day with our driver, Chandrashekar, he is a very good driver and looks after me. Mama especially likes him as he doesn't use his horn too much which means I can sleep for longer. Everywhere I go though people are trying to pinch my cheeks and keep snapping their fingers in front of me, it's a bit irritating to be honest and I have heard Mama say in the local language "please don't touch him".

We have visited Daddy at his office a few times too. I really enjoy going as it is in the middle of beautiful countryside and I can see the cows and the sheep that live there. We are going on our first family trip to Kerala next week, Mama and I will stay in a hotel whilst Daddy will be staying at a nearby campsite with work. It is the monsoon season there so I will be really wrapped up to prevent me getting cold. It will take us 10 hours to get there by car so hopefully I will sleep alot on the journey but Mama says she will wake me up when we see wild elephants along the way.

I miss all my family at home in England but I'm loving India too so don't worry about me.
See you all at Christmas if not before. Keep skyping me so I can see you all often. Love Joseph.
