Memorial Day

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little man!  Happy Memorial Day!  Today is the day that we stop and remember the veterans who have made this land the best country on the planet!  It is because of those who have served, or who are serving, in the US armed forces that we have the freedom that we enjoy everyday.  We have an impressive list of relatives in our family who have served ....

Great-Grandfathers (my side):  army and navy

Grandfathers (both my side and daddy's):  army

Grandmother (my side):  coast guard

Uncle (my side):  marines

Aunt (my side):  air force

Thanks you to all of them for their bravery!  :-)  We are truly blessed!

You slept much better last night!  In fact, you slept in a little and gave daddy and I some extra sleep too!  Thanks!  :-)

This morning, you had three tablespoons of oatmeal and this evening, you had three tablespoons of rice cereal!  Whoa!  You had a total of 6 tablespoons of food!  You're getting to be such a big boy!  

We took a walk this morning to Gigi's house.  We picked up some extra diapers at her house and then you, daddy, and I walked back to the townhouse.  You got to see Gigi and Grandpa Jim.

You had your physical therapy appointment today, and since daddy was off from work, he got to see how well you did too!  :-)  You continue to do a nice job while on your back rotating your head and neck over to the left side.  There's still a difference when on your belly.  You can move your head over your right shoulder and hold it much longer .... but it is more difficult for your left side.  But, you continue to show improvement everyday!  

This evening we went to Mimi's for a cook out!  Your Uncle Brennan and Grandpa Mike were there too.  Everyone got to hold you, and Mimi had some more clothes for you!  :-)  

Tomorrow, daddy heads back to work, so it'll just be the two of us.  

Sleep tight little one!

I love you!
