Having fun with bubbles

Mommy is holding me while daddy blows bubbles and I try to catch them. These are high quality bubbles for infants.

Joshua with Saint Nicholas



(posted by mommy)

This is me with Santa Clause. He is also know as Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of Byzantine Catholic Churches.

Saint Nick was a Bishop. There was a girl who was too poor to have a dowry for marriage but she wanted to be married. So Saint Nick collected the money and threw it into the house so she could be married and she was. Then he collected more money for each sister and did the same. From his giving to the poor and collecting almsgiving, the tradition has passed down to give gifts to the poor at Christmas as well as giving small gifts to those we love.

A day in the life of Joshua Miller

(posted by mommy)

I have continued eating, and sleeping, and making dirty diapers. But things have kind of fallen into a routine. I wake up around 8am and mommy feeds me and changes my diaper. We usually go out into the world for the rest of the morning doing various activities. During this time I usually eat twice and make 2 dirty diapers. We get home and mommy feeds me and changes my diaper and then I take a nap. When I wake up, mommy does her exercises with me and I get to exercise too. Then I watch my bears for a while. When I'm bored with that, mommy feeds me and changes my diaper and then we do some chores cleaning around the house. Mommy carries me in her carrier made by grandma posted in as picture on the previous post. Then I usually fall asleep and mommy makes dinner. Then daddy comes home and we all eat. After that I get changed by mommy and then daddy plays with me for a couple hours. Daddy does all sorts of new things with me like swinging me in my new swing, blowing bubbles at me, trying to help me crawl and sometimes we play video games. Then I go back to mommy for my bath, food and changing. Then daddy takes me for about a half hour more while mommy showers and gets ready for bed. Then mommy takes me to bed and we eat and change a diaper and eat some more and then I fall asleep. I wake up around 2-3am and then again around 5-6am and mommy feeds me, changes, my diaper, and feeds me and then I'm back to sleep.

That's my day!

I keep learning

(posted by Daddy)

I keep learning new things every day. I've learned how to fake being hungry; so that when I want Mommy, I know what to do. I've also learned how to indicate that I want to have a tour of the house. I just hold my head up and look intently at something far away, I then get my tour.

I have my schedule set. It starts when the sun goes down -- I know that this is a sign that I will get to see Daddy soon, so I get up and alert. Then I play and have fun for a few hours. I like this time. Then, I go and take a long nap until it gets light out. Sometimes I drive around places then, sometimes I sleep in for a few more hours. Then, I get up a little. Then I take a nap. Then I get up and it starts to get dark, so the cycle continues.

As long as I am help about 23 and 1/2 hours a day, and am fed, changed, played with, and entertained, all is well. I'm quiet and well-behaved. When things don't go right, I sing a song and all is fixed.
