Getting into things

Joshua has a continuing love of paper bags. He's 8 months now, so he's getting to try meats, but not McDonalds. He's also pulling to stand on everything. We just replaced our stair gate with a nice sturdy metal one. He's a strong baby!

Cruising around

Joshua has just barley started cruising on the furniture. He's waving at mommy while standing at the couch here. You can really see his two tiny little teeth in the second picture.

Playing with lights

Joshua has always loved lights. His daddy bought these for him when he was less than a month old. Now he's finally old enough to play with them!

Joshua and Mommy

Gene took some pictures of Joshua and I playing in the yard. Tonight Joshua went straight to sleep on his own without fussing. Let's all pray that this becomes a habit for him.

Bag-O-Baby

With his newfound mobility, Joshua keeps getting into the recycling. He's especially fond of bags for some reason. As an update, he now pulls to standing, walks all over holding my fingers, "commando" crawls all over the house and can pick up cheerios with his thumb and pointer finger. He's started letting go of one thing while standing and grabbing for another support.

Bath Time and Lunch Time

Joshua is enjoying his lunch here. You can even see his new little teeth. He enjoyes lunch so much that he needed a bath. As you can see, it's Joshua's first bubble bath. Bubbles, apparently, are delicious. I'll just take his word for it.

Grandma's Birthday

My mom, Joshua's grandma, is having a birthday, so I thought I'd post a couple Joshua and Grandma pictures. Happy Birthday, mom!

Wedding visits

We went to a wedding and visited some relatives
