Pushing up to sitting and sitting up in bed...

Well yesterday morning was the day. The day that I walked into Joshua's room to get him in the morning, and found him sitting up. As soon as I walked in, he looked up at me and gave me my "good morning mommy" smile that I get each day. I was excited to see him sitting up, actually!! Now we have to raise the rail on the crib after I put him down for bedtime.

Oh, yeah. He's finally mastered sitting up by himself. So cute to see!! He's making such strides in his development and we are so proud of our little man--who's not so little anymore!!

Army Crawling

Yep, he's finally doing it!! Joshua has been scooting around for a while now, in sitting position. But now, he's moving the army style and gets anywhere he wants. Not real quick yet, which is good for me, but he's certainly on the move!! Go Joshua!!

Joshua is 9 months old~

We went in for Joshua's 9 month checkup on his actual "month-day" this month!! Doctor says he looks great, growing well, and looks very healthy. Joshua weighed in at 20 lbs 6 ozs, and measured 28.5 inches. He is right at 50th percentile for his age. Same as Kateli, Joshua is not keen on the checkups, he hates for the doctor to look in his ears, much less use the tongue depressor to look in his mouth; yet, he did great. He did have to get a shot, and that was NOT fun. He cried for about 5 seconds and then was done. We were lucky that he didn't run any temps due to the shot. He was a happy boy as always after his appointment.

I have to add that Kateli went with us to Joshua's checkup, and she behaved like an angel. I could not have asked for any better behavior from her. She was truly a big girl, and she showed so much concern when she heard her little brother screaming as he got his shot. "what happen, mommy?" she asked me with a look of concern on her sweet little face. Once I grabbed Joshua in my arms to console him, Kateli came over to us quickly and pulled me down so she could pat him on his back, give him a big kiss and say "i luv you, mano"....how sweet is that!! My kids are wonderful!! Thank you Lord!
