Joshua's 1st Year

Joshua is 11 months

He is ctting 6 teeth right now and off on his bottle intake. Poor baby!

New Teeth

Joshua is sad here... (cute, though)

Joshua just cut his left top front tooth today. He is 10.5 months old and hadn't cut any teeth since he was 6 months or so. It's been awhile...

Joshua is 10 Months Old

Joshua is now 10 months old! I still can't believe it. His first year is almost over and it hurts my mommy heart to think about it. They really do grow up way too fast! He is drinking 4-5 bottles a day, eating 4 jars of baby food, and he loves fruity poofs and cheerios. Joshua is now pulling to stand everywhere he can (and crawling, really fast). He loves to get into cabinets and play with his brothers' cars. He is doing a little better about sleeping through the night and taking naps now. Some days it's just a challenge, though! Joshua's clogged tear duct in his left eye has completely cleared and he does not need surgery (which had been scheduled for tomorrow). God is so good in answering our prayers for healing! He is the cutest little baby ever. I think I have said that will all of them, but it's true!

Joshua @ 9 months

Joshua is 9 months old now. He is crawling all over the house and opening every cabinet and drawer he can get his hands on. Joshua drinks 4-5 5 ounce bottles a day and eats baby food for breakfast and dinner. He loves the fruit poofs, too! He's not my best sleeper. Joshua sleeps an average of 8 hours per night and rarely takes a long nap. 7:15 never seemed so early! Here are his stats:

Head 46 cm (40%)

Length 28.5 inches (50%)

Weight 19 pounds, 12 ounces (40%)

Joshua is now 8 months

Joshua pulled to stand at the cocktail table last night. I was amazed. When he let go with his right hand he did a face-plant into the table. He's more adventurous every day now! They grow up too quickly. Give all your children a hug today!

8 months old today...and sick

Joshua is running a temp today--and last night he was up several times. All the other kids are sick with fevers and a cough, so that's the way it goes. He also has a cough. Josh was supposed to have his eye procedure tomorrow, but we had to postpone it due to illness. It may be February before they can get him back in. I'm praying it's sooner and that he gets well fast! I weighed him on our home scale the other day and he was 20 pounds! He takes 25 ounces of formula a day and about 3 4 oz. jars of baby food. Getting big now!
