Joshua at 8 months through 11 months (posts due June-Sept)

Time for some serious catch up.  The kids' monthly updates were neglected in the summer madness and cross-country move.  I've divided up the pictures from the months past and narrate the best I can, though I'm sure to have forgotten lots of details.  I'm so sorry, Joshy!

Joshua at 8 months (update due in June)

Not a momentous haircut (it was maybe his 3rd), but a great shot of his chub and good haircut behavior!

Josh has always been a very content and happy little guy.

If I remember right, Josh wasn't exactly crawling at this point, just revving his engine and scooting himself backward.  I remember removing him from under the end table several times.

Finn and Josh were born just weeks apart.

You can see his two top teeth just peeking through the gums.

Joshua at 9 months (update due in July)

Joshua's stats from his 9-month-old well baby check were:

Length: 29 3/4 inches

Weight: 26 lbs 9 oz

Head Circumference: 47.1 cm

He was definitely crawling at this point, though I don't remember exactly when that started.

 Eliza loves to "babysit" Josh.

 Silly face on a sweltering Independence Day.

 Another picture from our trip to Ohio during Mike's Bar study time  Remember that summer when I was a single parent?  Hence all the stroller shots :)

 Eliza and (espeically) Caleb always want to "have a campout with Josh."  This consists of laying down one or (many, many) more blankets and laying down with Josh (who never wants to just lay down).

Big blue eyes

Joshua at 10 months (update due in August)

 Loving the swing.  Josh, like our other kiddos, loves to be outside.

 Such a happy guy.

Joshua at 11 months (update due in September)

I really don't have any decent Josh pictures during our moving in month, besides the family adventures from when we arrived in California.  Lame, I know.  Josh is a happy guy who still nurses through the night and usually ends up in bed with us.  No wonder he weighs over 30 pounds.
