Achievements

Lots of things have been happening around our house lately.

Amelia has taken a full-time job at a local hospice agency (that's right, she has now worked for 3 different hospices in the 2 years we have lived in Starkville). With that change, Joshua now attends daycare 5 days a week. He loves it and seems to be thriving under their care.

For those of you who are regular reads of the journal, College and Research Libraries (are there any regular readers of that?) be sure to pay attention to the article starting on page 9 of the January 2010 edition-it is Dave's first published article. He has another article due to be published in the coming months and couple more in process.

Joshua has been busy too. He has been eating table foods for a while but has recently expanded his diet to include leaves and grass, as you will see in the photo below...

Not only is he eating most anything we put in front of him. He is trying to feed himself with a spoon. Some days are more successful than others.

He is also running, saying 'uh oh', nodding his head 'yes' and shaking it 'no', waving good-bye, and purposefully making people laugh. His teacher's notes home everyday usually include a comment like, "Joshua had a good day today. He was very funny."

Joshua will be taking his comedy routine on the road tomorrow as he is going to spend a couple nights in Jackson with Coach and Nana. I'm sure fun will be had by all.
