Seven

Josiah has been seven months old for about two weeks now, and I have yet to do the monthly post. We are seeing changes in him by the day right now. He is very close to crawling. He army crawls everywhere he wants to go with little hindrance (unless he gets stuck under a piece of furniture). We had the pleasure of my cousins visiting this week with their 5-month-old, and Josiah got so excited about his cousin that he got up on his hands and knees and rocked back and forth. Although these times culminated in a faceplant, a true crawl is near at hand. He's also cut two teeth, with what I believe to be two or three more on the way. Also, he's started saying my name!  "Mamamama" while looking directly at the table leg, or some other inanimate object. It still warms my mother's heart. We are really enjoying this youngest member of our family. And even though Michaela is looking forward to the time when "Josiah is bigger to play with" I can't help but hope to keep him at this age a little longer. If he would only sleep through the night.

Josiah's first time sitting as a big boy in the double stroller.
Affectionately labeled "the bus."

I love swinging! Oh, the wind in my hair!
