I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow and no one can believe how fast I'm growing. I'm now holding my head and I can roll over. I scared mommy half to death when she laid me on my back and she found me a minute latter on my tummy perpendicular to where she laid me. I can also get my thumbs out of the mittens on my sleep suit.

Joshua with Papou and Daddy
Joshua with Papou; Daddy in the background.
This and the earlier few pictures were taken when great grandma came into town with Yaya and Papou on October 26th. We all had fun. We played Apples to Apples, and other fun games. Papou won at Apples to Apples.

Attention Please
[posted by mommy]
In the last few days I have accomplished some big things. I can scooch across the floor (note...not crawl but scooch). I also cry many times to let daddy and mommy know I want to see things especially my mobile. I am facinated with the bears that go round and round and can stare at it for at least 15 minutes if not more. I also like the Pooh characters on the bouncer chair my grandma got me. I try to grab Pooh and have been sucessful a couple times. When mommy or daddy drive I love looking out the window. I love just seeing things and people.

Happy Birthday to me
[posted by mommy]
I am one month old today and love my life very much. I eat and sleep a lot and dirty my diaper. I don't cry everytime I dirty my diaper and so when my mommy sees it she calls me Mr. Poop-a-lot. That makes me smile. My mommy is also happy because for the last few nights I've gone to bed around midnight and wake up about 8:00 or 8:30 and I only wake up twice in the night. My mommy immediately changes my diaper and feeds me and then we both go back to sleep.
I also now like looking at things. If mommy or daddy sit too long in one place, I cry to let them know I want to walk around and see things. I especially like the mirror because when mommy takes me there, there are TWO mommies.
That brings me to my favorite topic - EATING...I eat a lot...and mommy is yummy. I now can eat in any position mommy puts me in. And I have eaten in so many places...Church, Doctor offices, the bathroom where daddy works, and Aunt Katie's work.
I love bathtime. Mommy makes me feel good then.
One of my favorite times is Mass. I sleep through most of it until the consecration. Then I wake up until I receive Communion. Then I go back to sleep. But I'm really quiet the whole time. And it always makes me smile.
I can now follow you with my eyes, touch you if you're close enough, and I even spit up a little. My favorite time was when daddy got home from work and he just picked me up. I spit up all over his work shirt. I went back to mommy right away. I also cry or turn my head when bells, or the telephone rings.
It's been a busy month...look how much happened

Joshua in the Bible
There are 5 Joshua's in the Bible:
1- Joshua, son of Nun, who scouted the land of Canaan, and from the Book of Joshua
2- The high priest associated with Zerubbabel in rebuilding the Temple
3- The owner of the field where the Ark of the Covenant was placed
4- The Governor of Jerusalem mentioned in 2 Kings
5- The Hebrew name for Jesus the Christ
The name Joshua comes from the Hebrew meaning “the Lord saves”. The Greek form of Joshua is Jesus and means the same.

Papou makes first deposit into Joshua's piggy bank.
[posted by Dad] The above picture is of Papou depositing money into Joshua's piggy bank. His auntie gave him the piggy bank as a birthday present.
Weighing In...
I'll be 4 weeks tomorrow and the nurses today said I'm around 9lbs. I was so happy because I eat all the time.

My favorite time - Eating
posted by Mommy
I really like to eat every two hours except when I'm really hungry and not sleepy, and then I eat every hour. I like mommy's milk best. Sometimes mommy and daddy try to give me other things like vitamins or even milk that they call "mommy's milk" but its doesn't taste the same and it always seems colder and most of the time I don't see mommy when I eat it.
I like to eat as long as I can before I fall asleep. Mommy always wakes me up though to burp me, which I like too...but sometimes I wish I could keep sleeping. (I think sometimes she wants to keep sleeping too).
I really like when mommy holds me with both arms across her body. I used to like laying beside her...but my head has gotten too big which makes that type of feeding much more difficult for me.
Mommy lets me eat everywhere and at any time. We've eaten at Babies R Us, at our Legion of Mary meeting, and Mass, after Mass at Church, in the car parked in a parking lot. Mommy says I've become an expert at eating. But what I can I say...its my favorite thing to do.

The Right Diaper for Me
[Posted by Dad]
The perfect diaper for me is no ordinary diaper. See, I am a special
baby, so here is want I want in a diaper:
1. Daddy-proof anti-tamper mechanism. I don't like when Daddy changes
diapers; Mommy is much better at it. Unlike Mommy, Daddy put on latex
gloves. He then puts me on a hard surface and with little concern for
my feelings wipes me all around with a cold tissue. Mommy is much
nicer. She changes me on a nice soft surface. Things feel warmer,
softer, and there is no use of the latex gloves. My perfect diaper
needs to be daddy-proof.
2. Sanitation duct. The diaper needs some sort of pipe or other thing
so that whatever comes out of me does not get held-up in the diaper.
Perhaps, simple holes where stuff comes out would work.
3. Mommy Notification System. If there is not sufficient duct-work,
there needs to be a device that notifies Mommy when diaper needs
changed. It must be encrypted so Daddy cannot figure it out.
4. Mommy Triangling Radar with monitor. The diaper needs three small
radar units which can triangulate and determine exactly where mommy is
located. A display unit and sound indicator are also needed so that If
mommy is more than 6 inches away I know to cry.
5. Daddy Triangling Radar with monitor. The monitor must alert me
when Daddy is approaching so that I can stop crying and act as though I
am peaceful always.

Some Firsts
[posted by Dad]
My first time in the stroller was with my dad. I was not even a week old when he buckled me in. He then whisked me around the down stairs of the house, and brought me to the kitchen. Every else ate. My mommy, daddy, and grandma all ate. I started to get hungry * just watching them!
My first time playing the piano was also with my dad. He helped me push down on the keys, they are big and heavy. I first played with my hands. After only a short while, I got smart and started using my feet * that was much easier.
My first diaper change was by my yaya on the very day I was born. My second was only minutes later. I've become an expert at dirtying diapers.
I had my first Holy Communion on the 30th of September; a lot of people were there. I took a bath first (Baptism), and was anointed with oils (Chrismation) first. My mommy, daddy, both my aunts, and all four of my grandparents were there. My uncle was not able to attend because he needed to go to a Virginia Tech football game. My Godparents are Mr. & Mrs. Paolo Munoz. They came; so did thier son, CJ.
My first sports outfit that I wore was my Virginia Tech outfit. I also wore Virginia Tech socks.
My first (NPTCGs) nonparental temporary care givers were my yaya and my papou. We hung out for a couple hours about a week or so after I was born. My second NPTCGs were my auntie Katie, and her friend Aaron. They hung out with me about a week after that.

Things I Like to Do
[posted by Dad]
I posted earlier that I like to be held. That is still true. I also
like to smile back at my mom when she smiles. Another one of my
favorite games is trying to knock mommy's glasses off. That is fun; I
mainly do it when I'm singing her a song.
My favorite songs to sings are: I am hungry, I want to be held, and I
am not comfortable. Sometimes I sing when I want to be held up high and
be given a tour of what is around me. I like to look around some.

Christian Initiation Pictures
Pictures from my Baptism, Chrismation (Confirmation), and First Holy Communion.
Joshua's Blog
[posted by Dad]I can't talk yet, but if I could I'd say "stop taking pictures of me!" I do not like having light flash in my eyes! As far as what I enjoy, it is primarily being held.
