updates
well, since i haven't updated since before Christmas, i ought to start there. we had an amazing Christmas. it was small, but it was wonderful. well, we went to mike's parents for their annual Christmas eve party and that was definately not small. we got to see all of his family. we sang Christmas carols, exchanged gifts, swapped ornaments, ate lots of good food, and had good conversation. that was a lot of fun. then, on Christmas morning, we slept in with joshua. we opened gifts with just the three of us. then, luis, daniella, and romena stopped by just in time for breakfast-- ham biscuits! after having our own little christmas, we went to mike's parents house and opened more gifts.
not much has happened since Christmas. i was sick for about 3 weeks (not terribly sick, just that it has lasted so long) and then joshua got sick, but i think it's about gone now. so, we've been lying low since Christmas, getting some much needed rest. since all the festivities during the Holidays kept us out later than usual, joshua's bedtime was often extended, and he stopped sleeping through the night for a while. then just when things were back on track, he got sick and was waking up every two hours because he was so stuffy and couldn't sleep. hopefully we'll get back to his 12-hour sleeping pattern soon!
joshua went for his 4 month check-up a week and a half ago. they had to measure him twice because they didn't believe he was 27 inches long, which puts him in the 97th percentile for his height (he is taller than 97 % of all kids his age). he also weighs 17 lbs., which is the 95th percentile for weight. the thing is... he doesn't look heavy at all, quite the contrary. he looks very slim and narrow. he is solid and very strong. right at 4 months, he began rolling over (stomach to back), playing with his toys, and "cooing" a lot more.
oh, and i still can't find the camera charger, so, i can't download or take any more pictures until i do! also, mike got a video camera for Christmas, and hopefully i can eventually figure out a way to post some video footage of joshua.

I am glad you had a good Christmas Elizabeth! I am sorry you and Joshua were sick though. Find that camera charger! I need to see my big 97 percentile baby. :)
love jessica
