Joshua is 8 months old

Joshua turned 8 months old on August 2. Whew!!! This 8 months sure went fast. We spent his 8 month birthday at the lake, of course. We went out on the boat and let the big boys tube, more like para-sailing, it was so windy!!! They had a blast! Joshua and Jeremy are at Grandma H's one last time before summer ends and we all have to get back to our routines. They will be home tomorrow. Jeremy has started tackle football practice. They start full pads tomorrow evening, so of course it got hot this week!! 105 heat index today!

Joshua contines to crawl everywhere, get in to everything and pull himself up on everything that he can reach. He is developing quite the little personality. He laughs a lot. Of course it's Jeremy's responsibility to make him laugh as much as possible. That's what big brothers are for. Joshua has become very independent. He doesn't want held too much anymore. He wants down and to be moving!! And he keeps moving until he just can't stay awake cause it's nap time. He doesn't like to be put to sleep. He fights it tooth and nail!! But usually sleep wins!!

We are taking Friday off this week and spending a long weekend at the lake. Our last hoorah before school starts! Hope everyone has a good week.
