Screamie, Screamie, Halloweenie!

Daddy went back to work today and Joshua kept Mommy quite busy by staying awake, alert, and demanding all day. Even still, he's squeaking while lying on Mom's chest at 9:19 PM.

First up, we have Joshua on Auntie Jill's shoulder:



Isn't he the cutest?? Next up, we have the "Mad Baby"! Don't cross him, or he'll drip milk on you!



Kimberly and Ryan stopped by with Ellianna to show us her costume... the little peapod was as adorable as ever. She was sleeping. Josh was... awake. Not shown is Ryan in his Fred Flintstone outfit (we didn't want to scare away the viewers ;-)



And finally, the little trick-r-treater himself. Don't be fooled. His eyes were only closed for a few minutes.



Time for bed. Josh just stopped screaming, and Daddy has a sore throat. Nota Bene: the fact that he stopped screaming does not imply the peace will last for long!

Playing!

Oh yes, almost forgot to mention that Josh "played" for the first time yesterday morning! So what do I mean by play? Well, we laid him down on his activity blanket with the hanging characters... they rotate, jump up and down, and make some noise. At first he wasn't too interested, but eventually he stared at them (or at least in their general direction), and started batting at them with his "gross motor skills" while maintaining interest. Very cool :-)

Last night

Ok, so we didn't make a post yesterday! Instead, we were having an enjoyable social evening with Tara, Jill, and Christopher. We had some nice appetizers, listened to music, and talked about the baby (and took turns consoling him when he decided to scream).

Speaking of the Joshua, we'll have some more pictures posted after we upgrade the flickr account.

Our activities for the day:

• Wake up (this took a long time...)
• Visit the mall (get an Airport Extreme to replace the ailing D-Link wireless router)
• Trader Joe's (to get the yummy appetizers)
• Home for some fun!

A grand day out...

Mommy, Joshie, Auntie Jill and Auntie Tara went on a little trip today. We picked out some new clothes at Osh Kosh... he gave the thumbs up or down on Mommy's selections, as he hung around in the front carrier.

After a light snack in the car, we stopped at Target for a few necessities---and then it was on to home for naptime and dinner!

Dad stayed home to mow the lawn. How fun.

Aunt Tara and da baby...

After dinner, Auntie Tara had some time with da baby... Joshie smiles for the camera.

Just kickin' it...

and hanging out.

Joshua is out cold...

or, simply in shutdown mode from stimulation overload... but isn't he cute?
