Up to No Good...

Joshua is always into something. And it seems that whatever he gets into usually ends up in his mouth. He seems to have no fear. At any given moment, if he isn't putting an inedible object in his mouth, he is probably trying to climb onto or fall off something taller than he is.

We are grateful to our friends the Edwards who let us come "shopping" at their house for clothes the boys have outgrown. Joshua also inherited a box of trucks and books. At this point, Dave is more interested in the trucks than Joshua.

We are looking forward to football season starting this weekend. We now officially own baby clothes pledging allegiance to 3 SEC schools. We pledge varying levels of allegiance to these 3 schools as will be evident by the number of Alabama related clothes we now have. I'm sure many pictures will be taken of said outfits this weekend as Joshua and Abigail are scheduled to celebrate the kickoff to Football '09 together at Coach and Nana's house.

Joshua seems to prefer crawling off the changing table to having his diaper changed or putting on his pajamas.

What could be more fun than 2 large picture frames to play with?

I guess an empty milk carton from the trash can could be more fun than picture frames.

This is Hardy the Dog. Hardy was given to Joshua by our good friend Emily who lives in Tuscaloosa. Joshua likes to wrestle Hardy while Hardy sings songs to him. Hardy sings The Itsy Bitsy Spider if you touch his ear and I am almost positive Joshua did a few of the motions to the song the other day. I know that the chances of that are slim but I'm not totally convinced it was just coincidence.

One of Dave and Joshua's favorite things to do together is make faces in a mirror.

Public Service Announcement:
Everyone likes something free, right? Well, Dolly Parton is giving away children's books to kids under 5 years old through her Imagination Library. The child gets a free book every month until they turn 5. The program is not available in Starkville so Joshua gets his free book sent to Aunt Beth's house in Birmingham. So if you have a child, grandchild, niece, nephew, etc check out Dolly's website to register them. (Thanks Alex H. for telling Joshua about the books you get at your Gran and Rev's house. You're a great friend!)
