Joshua got a balloon while we were at Frye's today. I didn't think he'd know what to do with it, but he sure showed me. He's been playing with it for hours!
Here is Joshua modeling the trogdor outfit that his uncle Sean and Sean's girlfriend Siobhan got for him. He's also cuddling with his daddy, and rolling over in our bed.
Though he looks like a little angel when he's asleep, those times are still all too few. He doesn't nap long during the day and wakes often at night. I'm just hoping he'll grow out of it soon.
I needed to take Joshua out early in the morning so he had to be all bundled and dressed warmly. I thought, what's warmer than a bear? Incidentally, Joshua's fever has broken and so has mine. He's mostly better, I'm at about 50%, and poor daddy has just come down with it.
It's a busy life for a 5 month old. He needs to investigate toys, sleep off that exertion. Then he's hanging out wearing his shades when a teething fit happens and it's time to chew up sports bear! Now he's taking a milk break before bed while mommy posts his pictures on the computer. Check out how blue his eyes have gotten!
Joshua is wanting to crawl, but he's still getting the hang of things. He'll get his knees under him but forget the chest, or lift his chest up and forget his knees...I think he just got frustrated and is now trying to just fly away like superman! His alternate technique is to spin on his tummy so that he can see the whole room without actually leaving his starting spot.
Joshua was born November 25, 2006, exactly on his due date. He was a whopping 9.5 lbs!!! He's now around 14 lbs and doing wonderfully. He rolled over last weekend and is a happy, smiley baby!
