Joshua’s Bath Time & New Kids on the Block (they aren’t related…really)
I took out Joshua’s newborn sling from his baby bathtub because he is too big for it.
Tonight I gave him a bath in his baby tub, and he was probably sitting in 6″ of water. This was enough water for him to lay back and float his little legs. It was SO ADORABLE. I couldn’t leave him alone in the tub or I would have grabbed the video camera. He laid back on his bottom, arms over each side of the tub, floating his chunky little legs back and forth across the water, watching them float!! I was laughing SO HARD I could hardly help him sit up.
The tub has a “shallow end” for his bottom and a “deep end” where his feet are supposed to go. Well, I turned him around and helped him sit up in the “deep end.” He sat up (with my help) and starting pounding his fists into the water. He thought that was the best game ever! He got his mommy soaked. He was grabbing the little washcloths and rubbing them on his face and chest, like he was trying to wash himself. Adorable.
Spent part of the day with “Grandma Pat” & “Grandpa Phil” - Josh had a great time with them - smiled and posed for the camera like a pro! He only had a couple short crying jags - I think his teeth have really been bothering him and he needs to keep on a good schedule of orajel to keep the pain at bay. We visited Daddy at work and bought a bunch of fallish clothes at Children’s Orchard….Joshua outgrew SO MUCH within a short amount of time. Some 3-6 mo. outfits he only wore a few times. He’s skipped to 6-9 months. He’s not particularily big or heavy, but I think it’s his height. I will be fascinated to watch him grow up and see how big he gets when he’s older. I spent about $50 and got a big bag full of good stuff and dropped off some smaller clothes that Children’s Orchard is going to buy for credit. I would probably get more money selling them at a garage sale, but I just haven’t the time. I am tossing around the idea of hiring a housekeeping service for at least a couple times a month and seeing if I can fit that in our budget.
I borrowed the new New Kids on the Block album from my friend Savanna at work and I love it! I can’t wait to see them in concert in November. My sister Julie and I were supposed to see them in Illinois with a group of friends but they CANCELLED the concert on us. I got kind of sad tonight because I think my mom would have gotten a big kick out of Julie and I finally going to see NKOTB - mom bought us a bunch of NKOTB dolls that ended up getting destroyed in the housefire.
Makes me sad, also, that my mom didn’t get to meet Joshua. I think she would have had a fun time being a grandma.
