Joshua is now crawling all over the place!! He is pulling himself up on tables, furniture, his bed, etc. He is very mobile!! He continues to eat well. He is losing some of his rolls, because he is growing taller. He and Jeremy are at Grandma H's for a few days this week. They love to go visit their Grandma H. They will come home Thursday and then get to spend Friday with Grandma T.

We spent the weekend at the lake. It was so nice, very little wind and the temperatures were in the 80's. We have been working on the boat to get a couple of seats and the motor cover wood replaced that had rotted out. Our hooptie needs new seats so we have been working on that, too. Sounds like this weekend may be rainy, so we might get the seats done!! We might get some fishing done this weekend. With Joshua, we haven't gone out much to fish. He likes the boat better when it's moving!!! He'll sometimes cry until the boat moves, then he's fine...and then he's asleep!! IT all happens about that quickly!!

Here are some pictures we had taken recently of us and the boys. Hope you enjoy. Joshua is still not crawling full speed yet, but goes a couple of movements before he lays himself out!! His 7th and 8th teeth are all through now. So maybe he will get a break from this teething thing. We are going camping this weekend. Jeremy has his first football practice on Sunday night, so we will come back to town early for that. They are having a watermelon feed, also. Thank goodness with football starting, his baseball is done. Life remains very busy for us, as I'm sure it is for everybody! Have a good weekend!

Happy 7 month birthday tomorrow!

Joshua will be 7 months old, tomorrow, July 2nd. What a joy these 7 months have been. He is cutting 2 more teeth on the bottom, for a total of 8!! He scoots and rolls all over the place now. He has taken a few movements forward with crawling, but still doesn't quite have it. He is so fun to play with. He giggles all of the time, and coos and talks. He has started drinking out of a sippy cup. I gave him my mashed up potatoes and smashed up sausage last weekend and he ate it. He still eats well and has moved on to number 2 meals. He likes most meats and fruits, some vegatables, but not chicken and noodles!! Both Grandmas tried to feed him that and they got the same reaction...the yucky face...gag...etc!

Everybody stay safe over this 4th of July weekend!!

Joshua's tooth count has moved to 6 now!!

This last week, Joshua broke through another 2 upper teeth for a total of 6 now!! He is sitting on his own now for extended periods of time. He is starting to scooch around the floor so crawling is close. We spent the weekend at the lake! He got in the water and swam with us. He loves it! A big bath tub that he can splash all he wants!! He seems to like the boat better when it's moving!! He gets impatient when we are stopped trying to get the tube out or switching people on the tube. Everybody tubed this weekend, even Di and Jackie. We had a great weekend despite the rain all day Saturday!!

Have a good week!!

Joshua gets two more teeth

Joshua has two more teeth. The top two front teeth came in this last week. Joshua has figured out he can roll and move about the room. He's about 2 weeks from crawling, we think. He gets up on his hands and knees but hasn't moved much yet. But he's close!

We went to Grandma H's this weekend to celebrate her birthday with her. We had a really nice weekend. Jeremy and Jackie had to come back to Manhattan early Sunday for KSU Football Camp. Jeremy had a good time at camp and learned a few things!! He has made a tackle football team and they had their first informal practice last night. He's excited for football to start. Jeremy's baseball team won their first baseball game last week, 11 to 10. It was a good game! The boys were so excited to get that first win. There isn't a baseball game this week, so our lives will slow down a little, thank goodness!!

Have a good week!

Joshua is 6 months old

Here's our big happy boy. He is up to 21 pounds, 12 ounces. He is 28.5 inches long. We are switching to 12 -18 month clothes because his torso is pretty long! The doctor said that he is doing great! He got 3 more shots today and did really well. His cold is getting better, too.

Here's a very peaceful picture of Joshua sleeping. He generally sleeps through the night from 9 p.m. to about 6 a.m.

Jeremy and his friend are tubing behind our boat.

Here's Joshua on his first boat ride of the summer. He was driving with his Momma.

This is Joshua in our camper. He fell asleep while eating his lunch!!!

Jeremy and Joshua share a tender moment.

Joshua is ready for dinner.

Joshua, Jeremy and Di share time in the recliner.

Josh and Jeremy sit in the recliner together.

Josh is ready for bed last night. As you can see, he's a happy baby.

HAPPY 6 MONTH BIRTHDAY TO JOSHUA!!

Boy, time really does fly! Joshua is 6 months old today and it seems like only yesterday we were in Oregon to get him. He is doing great. He has a little cold, but nothing serious. He still may be cutting his upper teeth, too. It's so hard to tell at this point. He is rolling over all of the time now. I saw him get up on his hands and knees the other day and sway, so he's getting ready to be on the move!! Di, Jeremy and Joshua are at Di's Mom's till Wednesday. They are visiting and doing some work for her Mom. When Di gets back, we'll get pictures posted. She has the camera, but no internet service!! We'll have pictures of his first boat ride, which he seemed to like very well. Did a lot of sleeping!!! We'll also put on current pics of him, etc.

Our lives remain very busy. Jeremy still has baseball games this month so we are at the baseball fields at least once a week and practice 2 nights a week.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!!
