Thirty Six Weeks

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little squirt!  Today you are thirty six weeks old!  Are you counting down the weeks until your birthday by now?  ;-)

Well, just as we thought, the seller's agent called this morning and wanted a delay on the closing.  We weren't surprised based on all the things that have gone on the past day or so.  The closing has been reschedule for next friday.  Daddy still had the day off though, so we had Family Friday.  :-)

You tried veggies for the first time today!  You ate half a jar (a little over an ounce) of carrots!  You gobbled them too.  Of course, they also turned your mouth and bib orange!  ;-)  I washed you off afterward.  Once we're settled in the new house, we can cook and make veggies together.  

We got our new flyers for the townhouse today and we're officially "for rent."  Hopefully we'll get some nibbles soon and we won't have to worry about the townhouse.  

We all went to Target today to pick up a few things, and then we dropped off daddy's car.  It needed to be inspected and have an oil change .... we got some bad news about his car though .... it needs some new things like a clutch, brakes, and wheel bearings .... yikes!  That will cost a pretty penny.  So, now we have house and car issues!  When it rains .... it pours!  But, we'll get through it all.  Just seeing your smiling face makes it all better!  :-)

We cleaned a little this afternoon.  I vacuumed the townhouse as you and daddy played.  You played with your toys and did tummy time.  We also watched more of the World Cup.  The US advanced and we'll play tomorrow!  Woohoo!  

You held your bottle for a little bit by yourself today .... then fell asleep while holding it!  Daddy took a little video and picture.  :-)

We ate dinner with Grandpa Mike this evening.  We drove daddy's car over to his house so he could take a look at it.  Since it was getting later in the day, we went out to eat Mexican food .... you played around in the car seat. 

This evening we played some more.  You did more tummy time.  I played and make noises with your belly .... you kept giggling over and over again!  It was so sweet!  Daddy took a little video! 

Continue to be precious for daddy and I!  

Sleep tight!

I love you very much!  :-)
