Joy

I had a girls morning Saturday, and it was so wonderful to spend quality time with my girls. We went to a tea party. I didn't know what to expect, and it was perfect. So many activities for the girls, and they loved every minute of it. I loved every minute watching my big girls have so much fun.

The baby is doing so many new things these days. He's an early bird like his big sisters and lately is up between 4-6 to start his day. We are trying to put him to bed later since he only sleeps about 9 hours at night and takes an hour nap in the morning and 2 hour nap in the afternoon. He's SO different from my girls. My girls were awesome sleepers, scheduled eaters, ...so maybe this means since they are opposites that Joshua will never whine ;).

Joshua now waves!! It is the sweetest thing!! He's very aware of everything going on around him and constantly looks like he is trying to soak it all in. He can sit and play with toys for long periods of time, but seems to have no interest in moving. When on his tummy he can rotate in a circle with his arms, but doesn't get his belly off the floor. The girls crawled at 9 months...so by mid-summer I'm expecting to have a movin' babe. Trying to enjoy this time of being able to do things without him being everywhere. Joshua is such a laid back baby. He is absolutely content being held, and watching his sisters. He has started babbling all the time, and Nelson swears he's heard 'dada' a couple times. When he gets mad I think it sound like he's yelling 'MOM' ;). He's yet to look at us and say a word. That's my favorite milestone...so I'm excited to see hear my sweet boy's first word.
