Feet!

Have you ever really thought about how fascinating feet are?  They hang out down there on the bottom of your legs and never really get much thought but think about all they do… They bend, they wiggle, they take you where you want to go…

I love watching Joshua explore his feet.  They seem to be his favorite toy right now.

Building Fun.

Tonight Andrew and I got to party with our fun nieces.  We started off building tunnels and houses...

Then we found letters for our names...

We reenacted the story of the 3 little pigs. Here is the straw house  and stick house that blew down

But Madison made a house of bricks where all the little pigs could be safe.

Madison was happy to be building, Joshua was happy as long as he had something to chew on and Brooklyn was happy as long as Joshua was nearby.  She was so good at sharing, she kept bringing Joshua things to chew on. 

 

Friendship

Being a Stay-at-home Mom really makes me treasure the friendships I have.  Today I was lucky enough to hang out with my friend Heidi who has a baby just a few weeks older than Joshua.  Here are a few pictures of the fun we had together...

They kept holding hands, it was so cute.  At one point Joshua tried to eat Lily's hand.

 I love this picture, He looks like he's up to something!

Lily is a roller; she could get back and forth across the room.  Joshua was content to just watch her for most of the time. When he did finally roll over it was when she was right by him and so he was trapped next to her.

Heidi said it looks like she's whispering sweet nothings in his ear.  What a fun day!

Before & After

More to come later.

Sleep! It is a wonderful thing.

Ever since Joshua started teething, he hasn’t been sleeping though the night.  It seems like his body is doing a lot of growing and now he’s catching up on sleep.  He slept for about 11 hours last night!

But even with all that rest  he seems to be getting plenty of exercise, I put him in his crib one way…

…and he woke up the other way!  He rotated a full 180 degrees.

What a silly boy!

I’m an artist! sort of…

So recently I decided to try my hand at painting.  My cousin Ashli does some amazing watercolors, and every time I looked at them they just looked fun.  So my first attempt is a painting of iris for the bathroom.

Not perfect but it was fun.  My second was a fun idea I got from Andrew.  He said it would be fun to have a painting of American Gothic with Fisher Price Little People.  So I started with this…

put together a few images from Google to make this…

and painted this!

What do you think?

Isn't his laugh the cutest?

I love to hear this little guy laugh and his Daddy is so good at making him giggle.  He especially loves his Daddy's silly voices like Donald Duck, Yoda and the villain from Inspector Gadget.
