Picture time

Visiting Auntie at work...

Joshua *LOVES* buttons, so a calculator is really cool for him to play with. Auntie mentioned something about him being an accountant, but we'll just have to wait and see about that!

Start 'em young, right?

He picked up the broom and moved it like he was sweeping, giggling the whole time. Later he laid the broom down and to me it looked like he was practicing stepping over the handle.  The whole thing was fun to watch.

Joshua has started to climb. I came around the corner and found him just sitting on the box of vases. Pretty cute!

What? I'm not doing anything...

Do you see him? Yup, that Joshua in the cabinet pushing all of mommy's delivery boxed out. Isn't he helpful?

Playing, playing, playing...

Daddy & I feel this isn't the best use for this play table, so we won't be climbing or standing on it anymore.

I love the spare paci in his left hand in case he can't find the one in his mouth!

All the playing wears a boy out for sure!

 All my boys wrestling on the floor. I'm sure this will get more entertaining as the years pass.

* S N O W*                    Joshua is always watching Daddy.

Duke celebrated his 6th birthday this week. He got a new toy, a new collar & a McDonald's hamburger because Jim said that is what he wanted.  Duke & Joshua are really starting to play together. It's very cute to watch their love grow. Duke's new toy is plush in the middle & a loop of rope on both ends. Joshua will hold on the rope part, but Duke can easily pull him down.

Lock down. All wheels must be locked at all times, according to Joshua. Jim & I had been blaming Duke for the wheels being locked. (mainly because he's always around his chair jumping and trying to find food). One night when we were getting dinner ready I looked up and noticed Joshua sitting at the base of his highchair, locking each wheel. Mystery solved.

Joshua had RSV.  This is a picture of daddy giving him a breathing treatment. Joshua did a lot better job when daddy did the treatments. Could be all the variations of the nursery rhymes that daddy makes up. 

The poor little guy struggled to breath, eat & sleep. We feel very very fortunate that he would eat (drink really) enough that he didn't have to go to the hospital. We know of 5+ families that their little ones all ending up with a hospital stay.

Joshua is feeling much much better. As Grandma Dana said that mischievous sparkle is back in his eyes!
