Do I have something on my face?

So last night I made some ziti with meat sauce, garlic bread and a nice salad.  Timed it pretty good so that it would be ready right as Brian walked in the door. Well it was ready and Josiah and I were sitting at the table as it stayed warm on the stove...we sat...and talked...and he got antsy just sitting so I started to feed him his dinner....we had a blast, but 40 minutes later still no Brian.


Opps...totally forgot Brian was going to play basketball after work with some guys from church!


On the bright side,  Josiah and had way too much fun with his dinner. Gotta say, Brian totally  missed out on on an awesome memory. Take a look. :)

9 months and counting

A few days ago my precious little boy turned 9 months. I cannot even begin to understand how quickly this time has gone by. It seems like just a moment ago he was swaddled in a blanket content to just take a nap with mommy. Boy how things have changed! At 9 months  Josiah....

~loves to look out my bedroom window especially when the trash trucks come on Friday morning
~wants to eat off adult spoons if at all possible
~would rather take a whole cauliflower and stick it in his mouth than eat a spoon of mashed up baby food

~Still rarely cries unless hungry, tired, or scared...or if he's in the car and wants OUT
~LOVES water...baths....showers....pools....hoses...sinks....anything.
~Finds turning on and off light switches and faucets amazing
~is always thinking. So many of my pictures of him are with his head down because he is holding, turning, pushing and trying to figure out how everything works
~loves his Daddy's guitar...both playing it and listening to his dada sing and play
We love our little munchkin more and more each day and not a day goes by where Brian or I don't look at each other and say "He's just so cute!"
Thank you Lord.
