Daily Happenings

I made a big entry yesterday and it must have gotten deleted somehow. :-(

Uh-Oh

Joshua has added 'uh-oh' into his repertoire of words which now includes dog, moo, dada, mama, ba (for ball), meow, down, and no. Joshie is a busy baby. No snuggling for him :-( But his ultimate cuteness makes up for it.

Giggling and making faces at Dad at dinner are "da best". Oh yes - he also shakes his head "no". Well, maybe more of a waggle, rotate, tip, dip, get dizzy shake, but still - shaking. I'm waiting for the up and down nod: "Yes, mommy, whatever you say."

I love my baby!

Other new things

The weekend was so busy I forgot to mention some of the other highlights including... Joshua got THREE new teeth between Wednesday and Sunday. He really starts DANCING whenever he hears music now and he will give you five if you put your hand out palm up. We had a great time and are very much looking forward to heading to the beach tomorrow. At Joshua's Dr.'s appointment this morning he weighed in at 22 pounds.

Visit to Grandma and Papa O

We arrived Wednesday around midnight and were home by 12:30ish. We put Josh down immediately but he didn't go to sleep. He was too excited. He finally fell asleep around 2:15 am and then woke up again at 5 am. He survived the airplane ride rather well but wouldn't sleep in the airport... way too exciting. So our first night he had about 5 hours of sleep total. He was a good boy though. Thursday we hung out for most of the day until Josh and Trina arrived in the evening.

Friday, was Tami and David's wedding. Prior to the big event we went to Sears and had family portraits taken. Josh just wouldn't crack a smile but he wasn't crying either. We had a wonderful lunch at BJ's Brewery. The wedding was at 6 in the evening and it was just beautiful. Tami looked spectacular and had chosen navy bridesmaids downs with a corsetted top which seemed to flatter everyone. The reception followed immediately and was a fun evening of visiting, dancing and eating. Joshua did great at the wedding and enjoyed meeting and seeing all the cousins, aunts and uncles he doesn't get to see very often. Aunt Donna lulled him to sleep and Aunt Trina held him while he slept for a good deal of the reception.

Today, we met with Jason's friends from high school and had pizza and played games at a 'Chucky Cheese' type place. We had a wonderful steak dinner with Josh, Trina, Grandma and Papa in the evening. Joshua pulled out three new tricks today. He started clapping, playing 'peek a boo' himself and blowing kisses. ALL TODAY! Amazing :-)
