Dapper, dapper?

Here is a shot of my little guy that I took today. I can't decide if I like it in color better, or in the b&w. What do you think?

Back at the zoo for a new year

We went to the zoo yesterday with abuela and enjoyed walking around. The weather was beautiful, a little windy, but the temperature was just right. Here are some pics that I took on our outing

More pics of our little guy

Okay, so I know that I'm taking lots of pics of this little guy lately and not too many of Kateli. It is by no means that I DON'T want to take pics of our little princess--actually I would love to get some good shots of her. For right now though, she sees the camera come out and she starts saying "no, no, mami, no pictures/fotos" so you can imagine how much cooperation I get from her...:( I am hoping it is a phase that will pass and she'll let me take pics of her soon. For now, I'm enjoying taking shots of the only one in the house that doesn't mind it when I have the camera out--although as you'll see in the pic, he DOES mind being on his tummy...not his favorite!! Here is one shot. I've posted some more to share on Flickr. You can view the pics here: Joshua 8 months almost

Front two teeth...well, bottom teeth

Yep, our little guy has his second bottom tooth. I guess he's been working on that one for a few days now, but I just noticed it today. We were out in the front yard, and I was being silly...so he smiled BIG, and I took a peek. There is a second little tooth coming in!! WOW!!!

Days shy of 8 mos old

I know...I know. I was late in posting Joshua as 7mos old, and now I'm early at posting him as 8 mos!! but time is FLYING!! Here is a cute pic I got of this little guy recently!

He is now trying to move forward to get things that are out of his reach! It's so much fun to watch. Joshua has not ever really enjoyed his tummy time, so since he started sitting up, I put him on the floor with toys in front of him. He's going to start crawling from the sitting position, which is different than what Kateli. Kateli enjoyed tummy time! So, she started crawling by getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. Joshua on the other hand, is starting from sitting position, so he leans over, catches himself with his arms and starts turning one leg out behind him. He hasn't gotten the other one quite behind him yet, so for now he ends up in a split position. I'll have to post some pics of that--it's quite amazing. So, anyway once he's in this position he starts rocking forward, grunting and reaching for the item in focus...

Joshua is sleeping through the nights now--well, for the most part. Seems that when Kateli is up at night, he tends to be woken up. Can't say that I blame him, I mean if everyone else is up, why miss out on all the fun!! He's graduated to eating fruits now, and three times a day, all the while nursing about 4 or 5 times a day! I'd tell you if he had a favorite, or if he preferred the fruits over veggies, but I can't say that he's shown a preference. He eats whatever is on his spoon and put in front of his mouth, and he DOESN'T wince! He has his cereal for breakfast; then a fruit for lunch, and for dinner it's a veggie and cereal. In between these meals he nurses!! It's amazing how well this child eats. Let's hope it lasts!!
