6 weeks

posted by mommy

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.

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.
