Coupons!

I had my store fliers and coupons out this morning, getting things ready for a shopping trip with Joshua between his two naps. Joshua was playing with his toys as I made my list...and when I looked up a minute later, he had rolled over to my pile of fliers and started a coupon party! He was crunching and sliding the papers with his hands and talking up a storm. Obviously he realizes the importance of a good deal :)

Easter weekend

Joshua, as evidenced below, is very excited that Grandma and Grandpa came up for the Easter weekend! He is quite the good little sitter, by the way. I think he is just so cute when he sits there and bangs his toys on the ground and chatters away :)

Joshua loves playing with Grandma's hair, and with the addition of two teeth, decided her chin would be a fun teething toy!

Grandpa took a nap on the couch and when Joshua woke up from his nap, he decided Grandpa should be awake too!

The Easter Bunny (aka Grandma) decided to bring Joshua a HUGE stuffed sea turtle. I'm not sure what the connection is between Easter and sea turtles, but Joshua didn't mind in the least...he loves his new friend, who we have dubbed Timmy the Turtle (to go along with Freddie the Frog and Sammy the Sea Horse). Joshua sits in front of Timmy and bends down to "kiss" him over and over...I think he is actually trying to lick the furry shell :)

After having a great weekend with my parents, we drove to Durham on Sunday afternoon to spend time with the Isgetts. The Easter Bunny (aka Grandma Martha) had more presents for him there: a stuffed monkey, a toy cell phone, a set of toy keys, and a toy with balls that go around and around inside. Lots of Joshua's aunts and uncles were there, and Joshua had a great time, especially with Aunt Shelley.

We love getting to spend time with our families!

Big smile

Can you believe that this little guy has 2 teeth coming through on the bottom? If I couldn't see them (and feel them, when he's gnawing on my fingers!), I wouldn't believe it. He hasn't been fussy or cranky, just doing a little more drooling and chewing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he stays this happy with all of his teething!

To help my mom make it to the weekend...

Just a video of Joshua on the move...

My mom and dad are coming up for the weekend, and my mom loves watching videos of Joshua to hold her over between visits. I like to imagine Joshua has been inspired by watching Carolina basketball and is already training to play someday...of course, that would require that he gets exactly 0% of his height genes from me!

By the way, how 'bout them Heels? 2009 National Champs--woo hoo! :)

Sleepy boy

All clean and dry (with a little spikey hair, thanks to Daddy)...

Getting some snuggles...

Happy and ready for bed!

My good little eater

Well, so far, this little guy likes his veggies! He's been enjoying rice cereal in the evenings for the past couple of months, and once we got the okay from his doctor at his 6 month appointment, we added baby food to the menu. We've been doing some rice cereal and baby food in the morning, more baby food at lunch time, and rice cereal and baby food in the evenings. Along with his milk, he's taking in tons of food!

So far we've tried (and liked):

Sweet Potatoes

Green Beans

(he likes to play with the spoon after I've finished feeding him)

and Carrots.

Soon we'll be trying green peas, squash, bananas, applesauce, peaches, and pears. Hopefully they'll go over as well as the others have so far. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that he'll continue to like veggies and fruit this much as he gets older...I've already told David that he's got to be a good example for Joshua :)
