October....

It's been a little while since we updated our blog. Here are some pictures from our week in SD in early October. We were there to help Robin's dad celebrate his 60th birthday.

We did some family pictures as part of the birthday festivities. Here are a few of pictures we had taken for us.

We were trying to get Josiah to smile for pictures.

Josiah got a little messy at supper the other night. He had fun playing with his food. :)

We went to Babies R Us on Saturday and got a "cage" for Josiah to play in (also to contain him since he is becoming more mobile each day). The video below was taken Monday morning. It did not take long for Josiah to plan his escape route.

Here's a picture of what the whole play pen looks like.

Random pics of Josiah...

Here are a few random pictures I took of Josiah this week while Neal was gone to Mexico.

It became cool enough for Josiah to try out his John Deere boots that Uncle Tim and Aunt Heidi gave to him. He was still snoozing from the walk we took that morning.

Josiah has started finding things to get into. Josiah likes chewing on afghans (I have no idea why he likes putting those fuzzy things in his mouth). So he discovered that we keep our afghans in this basket.

Yesterday, I was in the living room with Josiah and I had looked away for a minute and turned back and saw he had figured out how to stand on the chair of his desk. It will only be a matter of time until he figures out how to climb up on the couch from this chair.

I don't have a picture, but Josiah got his 3rd tooth last week. It is one of the top front teeth. I think he is also starting to say the word no. Lately, that's a word we use often with him. :)
