Joshua

Joshua still isn't crawling yet, but he is getting very close.  He's kinda crawled a couple times but gives up quickly.  Last night he was trying to pull himself up to a standing position.  The problem was that he was in the middle of taking a bath.  Bathtubs are not the best place to learn how to stand.  I was watching him closely and he gots his legs under him while holding on to the side of his tub.  After a bit of grunting, he managed to straighten his legs while still holding the sides.  When he got to that position, he didn't know what to do next.  I helped him back down before he did a face-plant into the water.
He is starting to notice music more often and likes to bounce his along with it.  As my mom stated, "I didn't know 'Old McDonald' was a head-banging song."

I love his laugh.  Especially when he is in a good mood and anything you do sets him off.  He has also started blowing spit-bubbles and making raspberry sounds. Usually it's pretty funny, but not so much when he does it during a sermon at church.  I told the pastor afterward that it wasn't any indication of Josh's opinion.  The pastor said he didn't mind, as long as it isn't the elders doing it during his sermon.

She rowed across the ocean.  Yes, that's right.  Rowed. Across. Ocean!

 

It's a pretty neat site.  Take a moment to look it over.  There's a lot of planning to do before starting a voyage like this.
