Little fishie...

Joshua had his first dip in the pool yesterday and we are planning to go again today. He was a little bit concerned at first. We put him in slowly but was soon splashing and chattering along. We picked up a little floating device with a sunshade to put him in.



He now can move across the floor 'crawling'. He sticks one leg out to the side and folds the other underneath. It is quite a funny site but he can move! Now he is busy trying to get into things he shouldn't like the dog food bowls, climbing on the book case and dumping everything off the coffee table.

Have a great Memorial Day!

It won't be long now!

Joshua is really rocking and scooting now. I don't think it will be much longer until he is crawling. I wouldn't be surprised if I had to add an update tonight!

He is starting to gain weight again, too. It is nice to see those chunky thighs and chubby cheeks back. He takes formula during the day and mommy's milk at night. He has been eating a lot, too. His favorite foods are bananas and yogurt but he also eats oatmeal, sweet potatoes and pears. He only takes a few bites of peas and carrots but we are working on it.

Some more milestones...

Yay! Joshua can now get himself into a sitting position from either his tummy or his back. He also loves to stand up by himself by pulling up on anything in the vicinity (including the doggies!) I suppose we can't put off the baby-proofing any longer...

He also just started picking things up with his thumb and forefinger. Time to start some finger foods...

We'll try and get some more pictures posted this weekend :-)

A Day at Ladew

Joshua and Jason took me to Ladew Topiary Gardens today for Mother's Day. We spent the afternoon wondering around, smelling flowers and watching the leaves blow in the breeze. Joshua loved all the sights and sounds. He was tired but didn't fall asleep, he didn't want to miss anything!



When we returned home, Jason turned on music while I fed Josh YoBaby yogurt and Joshua bobbed his head along. It was hilarious! He also started waving. It is intermittent but I am sure he will pick up the frequency!

Happy 7th Month Birthday!

Joshua is 7 months old today. The past couple of weeks have been busy with firsts. First

• plane ride out to California
  
• meeting Jason's Aunts, Uncles and cousins
  
• drive longer than 1.5 hours and visit to Las Vegas
  
• walk around the inside of the pack n play
  

He now pulls himself up regularly and then just lets go. Litte dare devil. He is at a very fun age and we are enjoying the time.
