When did this happen????

Yesterday was Joshua's big 8th month birthday. Can you believe it? So before it's March (barely, I know), I'm posting the latest monthly installment of his Tonka Truck pics.

He's just so relaxed... or bored... or just looking at me like I'm nuts... because I am...

And so big he's apparently also growing out of his socks/pants/jacket! Actually, they all fit, it just looks like they don't here because I snatched him up and ran out to shoot this and it took me all of 1 minute to do it all since it was FREEZING and threatening rain. Thus, my neglect led to his unkempt attire and my ugly backyard for the backdrop. I'm so creative this week. *note sarcasm*

And this one just cracked me up (what could he be thinking?):


HOPEFULLY... Jeremiah is finally well and Joshua stays well. I am REALLY getting tired of these four walls!!!! I feel like I've been stuck in the house for the entire month of February! ACK! I think I was able to get out about once a week for an average of 2 hours at a time. I'm turning into a vampire. I'm talking about vampires. I need to get out more...

Mommy Moment:

I was in the shower when Joshua woke up this morning so Daddy got him out of bed and took him to the living room. When I walked in, Joshua gave me a big smile and giggle then speed-crawled to me. He stopped halfway and got a strange look on his face as he examined me. To make sure it was really me? Maybe he noticed my new haircut? Then he squealed and raced toward me again and gave me the biggest hug ever. Ahhh... it's so sweet to have someone so happy to see you! I love being a mommy. :)
