Lots of Solids

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little man!  Welcome to Summer!  This is the first day of summer .... and your first summer ever!  :-)  It's been really hot recently, so it sure has felt like summer for a while.  :-P

Thank you for sleeping through the night!  The extra sleep was greatly appreciated!  :-)

Your physical therapy appointment went well today.  Eliza noted that you have "beautiful pivoting" on your belly going to the right.  You go to the left as well, but it takes you longer.  You continued to be very tolerant during the appointment, and you smiled a lot.  She also stated that you getting pretty good at sitting .... it's not perfect, and you still need assistance .... but there's much improvement.  Eliza also said that you had the "sweetest giggles" which daddy and I already knew.  :-)  Oh, you did do one thing during the appointment .... at one point, after being on your belly for a while, you threw up on the blanket.  But, after a quick cleaning, you were fine for the rest of the appointment.  

Guess what you did today .... you took 9 tablespoons of solid foods today!  I'm so proud of you!  You ate 3 tablespoons of barley .... three tablespoons of oatmeal .... and three tablespoons of rice cereal!  Whoa!  We made a quick trip to the grocery store today, and while there, I picked up a little jar of carrots so we can start you on veggies soon!  Good job!  

This evening, you got to meet two more people .... our property management group.  Since the townhouse has not sold, and we're scheduled to close on the new house this coming friday, we're going to turn the townhouse into a rental property.  It just doesn't seem like the best time to sell in this economy.  We're planning on making the townhouse "for rent" active this friday.  So, cross your fingers that things will work out.  I know they will, since things happen for a reason.  We just continue to put our housing situation in God's hands.  :-)

Tomorrow Glen, the property management owner, will come back and take photos of the townhouse, so this evening, daddy and I cleaned the place.  I'll do some last minute things in the morning.  You played with your toys and did tummy time.  :-)

Sleep tight little one .... we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow!

I love you!
