9 months

It has been quite a while since I have blogged... we have been busy and our computer has been on the fritz. I am currently taking a break from my parents pool to write this post :) At the end of May we celebrated Josh turning 32, he went on a trip for a week to New Mexico for work while Josiah and I stayed home. My parents moved into their new house and they have been keeping busy unpacking and getting things organized. At the beginning of June we went to Charleston for a weekend with some of our good friends, Brian and Melody and their daughter Bree, who is only 2 weeks younger than Josiah. There we celebrated Josiah turning 9 months old, went to the Citadel Beach House for a work function for Josh, took a horse and carriage ride tour, went to the SC Aquarium and ate some delicious food at Magnolias. The next weekend we had a visit from Josh's sister Elise, her son Micah and Josh's parents. Most of our time was spent eating delicious food such as thai food, ice cream and my specialty, homemade Low Country Shrimp and Grits yum :) We went blueberry picking and I made a homemade cobbler with them. Micah and Josiah had a great time together and it was fun seeing the boy cousins interact with each other! Now, Josiah is 9 and a half months old. He is currently crawling and cruising ( walking while holding onto things ) He is into EVERYTHING! We are constantly saying the word "no", but he is still SO much fun! He also has 5 teeth fully in, and working on 4 more as we speak. The teething process has never quit since he started with his first tooth, so we are hoping after these last 4 come in, he will be done for a while! It has made for some rough nights/ early mornings , but overall he is handling the new teeth like a little trooper. With his new teeth he is also able to eat all kinds of foods. I have resorted to one jar of baby food at meal times and then just giving him small pieces of whatever we eat for the rest of his meal. He LOVES fruit,meatloaf, bread, and cheese but has not really turned away anything I have given him. As always he is a joy and a huge blessing to our family! Oh how we love him so!
