Monday: 28 weeks
Joshua turned 28 weeks old today. Over the last two weeks he's gotten a ton better at sitting up by himself. I can now leave him for short periods of time.

Friday: hmmm
It's early in the morning and Isaac was looking for "soft" pants. I helped him find some and then crawled back into bed while he finished getting dressed and going to the bathroom. Sometimes when I do this he gets to watch TV...so we had the following conversation while I was in bed.
"Can I watch SuperWhy?"
"No."
"Yes?"
"No"
"What?"
"No."
"I can watch TV?"
"No"
"What?"
"No"
"Yes?"
"No"
"It was a little sleep?" [He usually gets to watch TV after his nap.]
"No"
"Why?"
****************************************
I got Isaac up from his nap only to find that he had threaded his sheet between his T-shirt and his zip, so that half of it came out the top of his zip. Why?
"To make my tummy soft. And healthy. So it doesn't break.
Obviously.
****************************************
I was tickling Joshua and he was laughing and I was excited that he was ticklish now. I tried to show Ben later and he wasn't ticklish anymore. I felt tricked.

Thursday: doctor visits
The boys had their well child checkups yesterday.
Isaac is 31 pounds (40%) and 36.5" (~20%). I'm a little surprised at the percentiles here because I feel as though his pants have been too big for his height, unless there's elastic. But it's an increase in both percentiles, so he's "catching up" with his peers, although I doubt that he'll ever really catch up.
Joshua is 15lb, 3oz (8%) and 26.5" (8%). This is very similar to Isaac at this age. He's still following a proper growth curve though, so all is good.
Everything else looked good. Joshua has a bit of fluid in his ears from the cold, but no ear infection. Joshua slept more like normal last night, so I'm hoping he's getting over it.

Wednesday: corn bread
I've decided that I really like corn bread muffins to go with soup. 1) They taste delicious. 2) I can make them on demand. 3) One box makes just the right amount.

Tuesday: another first
We used the snot sucker thingy. It took two of us. And Joshua enjoyed it about as much as I expected.

Monday: 27 weeks
Joshua is 27 weeks today.
He has not been sleeping well. I've lost count of how many times I've been up the last three nights. Usually he'll go back down with a pacifier, but I'm still waking up. (If stumbling to his room with my eye half shut counts. I'm oddly afraid that I'm going to fall down the stairs sometime. (Here's a picture of the stairs and the door of Joshua's room.)) If I knew that it was just that he wanted a pacifier I'd start doing something about it, but it could be so many other things that I don't really want to let him cry too long. I'll give him a while longer and reevaluate.
He enjoyed his first sweet potatoes! He ate the whole container, and most of it got into his tummy. He's gotten really good at opening his mouth, even if his tongue sometimes pushes it back out.
