Joshua (around 5.5 months)
joshua can now sit by himself
he squeals and screeches-- those are his favorite sounds. he'll lie on his back and play with his feet while he listens to his own squeals. he does it even more if you squeal back to him.
he pushes himself backwards if you put him on the floor. mike says there's something wrong with his transmission-- he only goes in reverse. does that count as crawling?
his eyes are still blue/grey. they can still change, but that is unlikely at this point.
he scratches the top of his head when he's tired.
he only cries when he's hungry or tired
he LOVES red. he wants to touch anything that's red. if you give him several things, he'll always choose the red one.
he likes to 'practice' drinking from a cup, especially if you are. he puts it in his mouth just like he's supposed to
he is very ticklish, especially his back and feet
he is very content
he is extremely observant. he's always looking around (and never sleeps because of this!)
he HATES his nose or mouth wiped. who doesn't?
he sleeps only on his belly, and falls asleep best if you will jiggle his butt a little.
he is a light sleeper
he will stop crying if you play his veggie tales cd
he seems pretty patient, especially if you can distract him.
he likes being outside, but he doesn't like the process of getting bundled up
his cutest times are when he first wakes up. i know when to go get him when i hear him squealing to himself in glee
he would rather chew on YOUR finger than on his own. (those teeth are sharp!)
he loves worship at church
he loves fire
he likes books, but he tries to eat them when you turn the pages
he likes it when you sing to him or when you do silly dances
he's not much for sitting still
his hair is starting to stick straight up as its growing thicker
while some babies poop once a day or every few days, joshua poops 5 times a day. he is a well-oiled machine, i guess.
he kicks his legs like he's riding a bicycle and moves his arms rapidly up and down when he is naked. (who doesn't?) FREEDOM!
