Backtracking

The end of 2011 came so quickly that I was never able to do an update for Josiah for his 7th and 8th month. Now he is about to turn 9 months old! Where does the time go? The last 2 months have been filled with a lot of firsts and a lot of special moments.




Nov 16th Josiah officially became ours! His adoption became final! We threw a huge party to celebrate!

On the conference call with the judge


He is ours!





Josiah's first Thanksgiving was spent with Lezlie's family out of state. The drive was a little trying. We tried to drive into the night so Josiah could sleep because he HATES the carseat. That backfired on us big time. Josiah woke up at 12:30 am and screamed in his carseat till we got home at 2 am. We decided that in the future we would rather hear him scream when we are more awake then when we are exhausted so we won't do that again for awhile.




Josiah: "I want your sunglasses Grandpa!"


All the kids made Pilgrim and Indian hats! Josiah was not left out!

Mommy's Little Indian!



"This Thanksgiving food is yummy!!!"


Josiah has changed so much in the last 2 months. He started "army" crawling around 8 months. He will get up on his hands and knees and crawl in the bathtub but would rather drag himself across the floor. He has discovered the dogs water bowl which has now been dumped on him at least 3 times. He has also discovered how to open cabinet doors to pull out what is inside. He pulls up on everything including the dogs. They are so patient with him and allow him to crawl over them. He also started saying "Babababa." The week before Christmas, he came down with a virus so we took him to the doctor and he weighed 18 lbs 14 oz. He quickly recovered in time for Christmas!

Christmas was so exciting! I did a whole blog post on it. We headed to see Chris' extended family out of town. Josiah did great! I think we finally figured out how to travel with little man. He napped so well in the car and played for a good bit of time. He was only fussy a short time which was amazing! While we were visiting, we had a brief snowfall. Josiah loved watching the snow fall. It is so much fun watching him discover new things!

Josiah's first snow!
