Guest Post

Joshua wanted to get a word in, so here he is with a guest post...

Hungry, Hungry, Hippo

Joshua LOVES to eat.  We have been transitioning him to "real" food, and he can't get enough.  He is also becoming more independent, and would rather feed himself.  We do have to slow him down a bit as he likes to stuff everything into his mouth all at once.  He reminds me of a squirrel preparing for winter.

Bed Head

Fun in the Sun

Now that the mornings are cooling off a bit, I like to take Joshua to the park to use up some energy.  He has all the open space one could want, fun balls to play with, and yet in the end all he wants is to play with the wheels of the stroller...

 

Meet Geoffrey

Geoffrey is the newest animal to be added to the family.  Geoffrey is a really soft pillow, in the shape of a giraffe. Joshua loves to cuddle with Geoffrey, and often has to have at least one foot touching him when playing with his toys.

W-H-E-E-L

Joshua and I share a love for the TV show, "Wheel of Fortune."  He likes the bright colors and sounds, but Andrew and I also think he has a crush on Vanna White.  If we're watching anything else, he's crawling all over the house, finding various ways to create havoc.  As soon as he hears the intro to "Wheel," he cruises right up to the TV, and is glued to it for the next 30 minutes (minus the boring commercials).  I know I shouldn't let him watch TV, but I rationalize it as him getting his English lesson for the day ; )

 

11 Months Old

Joshua is 11 months old today!  I can't believe we will be celebrating his first birthday next month.  Last night, in what is a rare occurrence around here, he woke up crying (luckily we hadn't gone to bed yet).  As I held him in the rocker, I couldn't help but wonder where the last year went.  My baby is not so little anymore...
