I started this posting weeks ago and never got around to finishing it. The pictures are a couple months old now, but I thought I'd finish this posting anyway. Gary is back in school now, so he's gone a lot and keeps busy trying to stay on top of homework. I keep pretty busy trying to stay on top of everything else so he can focus on school and it has been crazy! We just got adjusted to having him home when he started school, and then we had to start all over adjusting to him being back in school. We're getting into a better routine now so hopefully we'll be able to handle the chaos a little better!!
Josh loves to go to the park to play. He really has a good time on the swings and slides.
He also likes to feed the ducks at Salem Pond.
These next few pictures are from Grandma Wood's 90th birthday party. Grandpa is 92 and they have been married almost 70 years!
Josh and his cousin Jordan are pals. Jordan was a great help getting Josh to eat his food.
The party was at my cousin's house, and the kids had a great time swimming in her pool. Josh absolutely loves to swim. He kept jumping off the side of the pool to me. He has absolutely no fear. He wanted to jump in by himself without me catching him, but he's not quite ready for that.
Josh and Jordan are so cute playing together. They get along really well.
Sometimes this is a great sight for me to see, Josh fast asleep with his Snoopy, bear, and dog. We went several weeks with very little sleep because Josh kept waking up every half hour to hour for hours during the night. Then he was very cranky and very difficult all day from the lack of sleep. After being up all night it was really hard for me to function at work and stay on top of everything around the house. It took me quite a while to figure out Josh's lack of sleep was partly because he needed to go potty and wasn't awake enough to tell me, and partly because he cries in his sleep when he's dreaming. Now he's sleeping a lot better, which means we get more sleep, and it is amazing how much better you feel when you get some sleep!!!
