Fifty Eight Weeks

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello sweet boy!  Today you are fifty eight weeks old .... you're really getting up there buddy!  Ha!

The three of us relaxed all day long today!  You had your usual four tablespoons of cereal mixed with apple juice for breakfast.  Then, your usual eight ounce mix of toddler formula and whole milk in a bottle.  

You then played in the play area as daddy and I vacuumed the downstairs, ran your laundry, and lowered the mattress on your crib.  We went ahead and lowered it to the bottom level .... you can stand in the crib, but you can't climb out of it .... but, to be safe, we went ahead and put it on the lowest level possible. 

For lunch, you ate a container of green beans and then ate a container of sweet potatoes before taking an eight ounce bottle.  We're trying to fed you more while in the high chair so that we can eventually get you off the bottle.   

Since you didn't take a nap this morning, you started to get sleepy around 1pm.  To be honest, I was tired too, so once you fell asleep in daddy's arms, he placed you on our bed and I took a nap with you!  Daddy sat on the other side of you and read, but he eventually took a little nap with us.  :-)

Once you woke up, you listened to daddy play the guitar as you played.  We noticed that our neighbor already has Christmas lights on his front bushes and a Santa flag in his front yard!  That's a bit early .... it's not even december yet.  :-P

This evening, cousin Stephanie, Charlie, Gigi, and (Great) Aunt Beth came over to visit.  You had fun playing with Charlie in the play area.  :-)  You two were so cute together.  Charlie is about 15 months older than you.

Oh, you have tooth #F erupting!  Woo hoo!  You now have six teeth in or erupting!  You're well on your way of getting all twenty of your primary teeth in!  :-)

This evening, you sat on the couch with us and watched Charlie Brown.  You got fussy, so daddy walked you around until you fell asleep in his arms.  Before you fell asleep though, we saw a deer in our front yard!  It walked across our yard to our neighbor's house!   

Sleep tight little miracle!

I love you so much!  :-)
