Yesterday I got the pictures for Isaac's monthly update. But since I'm raiding and my sinuses hurt, it'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Besides that I'm feeling better though.

Monday: 8 months/35 weeks
Joshua recently had his eight month birthday. How time flies!
Eating: Nursing is going fine (although he's had a cold so the last few days have been a bit hard). He is having a harder time drinking from a bottle after several months without a problem. He refuses formula. Eating solids is sometimes ok, but he refuses them on a regular basis too.
Sleeping: Sleeping is still about the same. Two short naps and one longer nap (or one short nap and a very long nap). He still wakes up about once in the middle of the night to eat. I usually find him on his stomach in his crib, and I often find him far from the place that I put him.
Mobility: Joshua is still not all that mobile. He quickly rolls from his back to his front. He can spin in place. I've seen him try to pull up on a few things that wouldn't support him and maybe some claps too...it's hard to tell.
Attitude: He's still quite happy. Not necessarily silly, but getting smiles out of him is pretty easy. (Except when we were in Florida. He was rather serious then.)
Misc: We just got rid of the pacifiers. He had started chewing on them a lot and then with the cold he wouldn't take them. So it seemed like a good stopping point. Joshua seems to like Ben a lot more than Isaac did at this age...there is always a huge smile for Ben when he gets home from work.

Sunday: swing
I took down the swing this past week.
Oh swing, you were so good to us.
Your floppy ears may be permanently skewed, but it makes you all the more lovable.
There were so many peaceful naps in your cozy basket.
You will be missed and never forgotten.

Saturday: back time
Joshua was supposed to be having tummy time, but refused.
I was also trying to clean up Joshua's bedroom, but that wasn't working either.

Friday: carrots
I was napping with Joshua when Isaac wanted a snack. I told him that there were raisins on the table, but he just seemed to get upset. So I told him he could have some carrots, as I had left the bag on the counter. (Yeah, house-keeping this week hasn't gone so well.)
I saw the bowl later...

Isaac likes carrots, but usually only eats about two at a time. So this was a rather ambitious bowl full. He gave me one while I was feeding Joshua, and then said it was time for me to go to sleep. But to holler if I wanted a carrot. He turned out the light, said "sleep tight night night", and shut the door. I started to sing loudly. He came back in, told me I was being too loud and that I should try to close my eyes. And to holler if I wanted a carrot. I started yelling...he came back in. I told him I needed a camel. So he brought me Joshua's. He left again, telling me to holler if I wanted a carrot.
He actually ate more of them throughout the afternoon than I was expecting. I ate two, but there were only four left.

Thursday: a quote
A: what did you write?
I: I love you when my heart is pumping.
*******And from a while ago*********
I: that EE [monkey] is bringing me medicine! Thank you EE.
Isaac eats it
I: what kind of medicine was it? Chocolate medicine? With ice cream on it?
EEs...er, monkeys...make a daily apperance in the house. Sometimes they go home to nap. Sometimes the big white one helps me drive. It's always interesting to see what they're going to do next.

Wednesday: sick
I'm sick.
I've been sick since Saturday, but how I feel goes up and down. It might be directly related to how long it's been since I've slept.
Tonight I still don't have my voice back, have a runny nose, feel like I have a fever (but I don't), and vaguly feel like I'm pregnant - exhausted, hurting hips, general blah (but I'm not pregnant). Why do my hips hurt?
But let's look on the very bright side. I'm not pregnant. I'll feel better in a few days.
Also, the day went by rather quickly. Aunt C came in the morning to spend time with Joshua while Isaac and I did some errands. (She was also greeted with the warmest greeting I've ever heard Isaac give. "I like you!" "You're my friend." "I like to play with you.") Then she played with Isaac for a bit and I tried to give Joshua a bottle...it's not working, which is rather a problem. At least he's eating food. Then after lunch we all took a long nap. Ben came home a bit early and the rest of the evening worked out.
