Every Other Week

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello cutie!  Today was a relatively busy day.  First off, you started the day with your usual hearty breakfast of four tablespoons of cereal mixed with apple juice.  Then, you had an 8 ounce bottle with four of those ounces being whole milk and the other four were toddler formula.  

We woke up early because we were expecting the television delivery people to be here at 8am.  Even daddy stayed here to help move the television inside, but by 8:45am he had to leave for work.  The delivery guys finally showed up at 9:15am.  There were two guys, so they brought the television into the house right when you walk in.  I pushed in on the floor (it glided on the hardwood in its box) into the dining room and we left it there until daddy got home.  :-)

Then, we played for the rest of the morning.  You took a little hour nap, so I did some chores.  I washed all your bottles and then did three loads of laundry.  You had two poopy diapers right in a row but no crying.  :-)  Yippie!

You had a really good physical therapy appointment with Eliza.  You showed her some nice left side neck rotations and she commented that your gross motor skills were improving and doing well.  She recommends cutting you back to every other week for appointments, so your next physical therapy appointment is on December 6th .... which is also my next OB appointment .... so I think you and I will be on the same schedule for our appointments now.  That means that every other monday will be busy with appointments.  :-P

After Eliza left, Grandpa Jim came by for a few minutes to pick something up at our house.  He couldn't stay long since he had to get back to the office.

Then, you and I took a walk.  :-)  We walked up to the local grocery store right outside our subdivision .... a little over a mile away.  The weather was beautiful!  We saw all the leaves falling.  We picked up some turkey meat, veggies, and potatoes for dinner tonight.  Uncle Brennan came over after work to help daddy move and hook up the new television, so we wanted to cook him dinner as a 'thank you.'  We made turkey burgers with a veggie and potato side.  We prepared everything once we got home, then rested for about an hour and a half .... you played and I watched .... until we had to start cooking.

You had some chicken noodle and veggie mix for dinner and then another bottle.  Then, you got to watch daddy and Uncle Brennan move and hook up the new television.  As they were working, I gave you a quick bath.  :-)  This evening, we noodled around on the television before you fell asleep in daddy's arms.  :-)

Tomorrow you head to the pediatrician's office for your second flu shot.  Then, we have another MOPS meeting.  Daddy is working from home the rest of the week since it's a holiday week and people are out of town, so we'll be able to see him when we get home.  :-)

Sleep tight little one!

I love you very much!  :-)
