Sneaky Boy

I believe it was last Friday that I got a phone call from Crisi telling me about Josh’s latest accomplishment.   She had left him for a few minutes while he played on the ground in his playroom.  Upon returning she found him lying on the ground, gnawing on a biter biscuit with a supremely proud look on his face.  Apparently, he had crawled over to the diaper bag, rummaged around until he found the biscuit and took it back to the center of the room.  He then unwrapped it from the plastic wrapper (which was on the ground beside him) and had himself a little snack!  Mind you, he’s not even eight months yet….  My Little Genius!

Screaming Josh

These pictures are for all of you that can’t believe that Josh could be anything other than an angel.  After waking up way too early, being a pistol all morning long, biting his mother and punching her in the face, it was nap time.  He thought that meant jail and torture and was letting Crisi know about it.  I couldn’t hear her on the phone for all the yelling and screaming that was going on.  All the same, we still think he is super cute.

This last week or two he has started pulling up on everything and trying to climb up anything that he can get a hand on.  He frequently uses Grace Dog as his own personal jungle gym or as a stepping stool to get up onto the couch.  He has also started talking a lot more and he’s getting pretty good at “Mama.”  Otherwise it’s mostly “babababababa…”

And on Easter Day, his two bottom teeth came in.  Sharp as little razors.  I never realized the teeth would be so sharp.  Neat.

Arcade Games!

What do you do with a 10+ year old computer? Give it to the boy! He immediately started mashing keys and opening windows. He even managed to get on the internet by himself. Finally, I loaded up some of the old school arcade games and he busted out laughing at PacMan. Props to Crisi for coming up with such a genius idea.

Too Tart!!!!

Hi there!  Josh is almost six months and I’ve been quite the slacker about maintaining the blog.  We’re trying to get him into better sleep habits and it’s been exhausting us.   At any rate, he seems to be improving every night.  If he wakes up, he’ll typically cry for about five to ten minutes before falling back to sleep.   We have a good video monitor that we can check to make sure he’s still in the crib and the image is sharp enough that we can see the gentle rise and fall of his breathing.  The monitor prevents unnecessary trips to check on him.

Josh has also been eating a variety of solid foods.  Crisi makes everything from scratch and usually adds just a smidgen of butter and some seasonings.  There hasn’t been anything that I would happily eat if it was served to me.  (Well, maybe not that squash last night…)  Here is a video of Josh’s reaction to peaches with a little yogurt.  TOO TART!!!!

We hope you are all well and happy. God Bless.
