10 on Thurs, no Saturday

1. I didn't realize how long it's been since I posted last. Wow, so much has gone on this last month. August 4:

I had major cramps last night! I don't remember ever having it that bad with Joseph. But you forget a lot of the not so fun things about pregnancy I've realized :)

Joseph Jr's favorite word to say now is "box". His favorite word to sign is "dog". He's such a cutie and learning so fast! I love my little man :)

2. August 9:

We got French doors put in our dining room :) We love it!!!

3. August 18:

We had a great time in Palm Springs, and Joseph Jr had a great time with his grandma and pop pop. We're back home now :) Joseph Jr is taking a long needed nap :)

4. August 19:

Potty training begins today :) It turns out my son pees OFTEN. He goes pee in the potty, washes his hands, and not 10 seconds later goes pee again. That time he doesn't pee in the potty. Maybe I started too early. I definitely think today is not the right day. I believe he's teething and his nose has been running all day today :( UGH!!!! Any suggestions on potty training boys?

5. August 20:

Jr had his five month check-up even though he is now six months of age. He is 26.8 lbs and 34 in. He went from an average of 25% to 77% in weight and 90% to 99% in height. My boy has been growing! I love him so much. He's going to be a great big brother :)

6. August 21:

Today has been one of those days :( However, I did have a great time with Betsy and her family :) So it wasn't a total wash. Well, now that I think about it, maybe it didn't turn out so bad. I got to spend more time with my two favorite men than normal. And my honey is going out and getting me some dinner since I have yet to eat and am starving :) We'll be watching "All American Hero" tonight.

7. August 22:

Joseph Jr loves saying prayers. When we sit down to eat, he always says, "Amen," and repeats that until we pray. It's so cute :)

8. August 24:

Joseph has been waking up during the night and/or too early in the morning. Maybe it's time to drop his naps down to one a day. Any thoughts?

9. August 24:

It turns out the third heartbeat was an echo of my heartbeat :) Maybe we'll have twins next time :)

10. August 28:

Yesterday, Joseph Jr took a 2 1/2 hour morning nap. He talked for 1 1/2 hours during his afternoon nap. Went to bed at 7pm and woke at 2:57am. He talked to himself for about one hour and then started complaining. So I went in and changed his diaper and laid him down again. Not sure if he fell asleep but at 5am I know he was awake. At 5:30 am he began to cry, so I went in to let him know it was still night night time. He soon fell asleep. I finally got him up around 7am.

So I thought we'd take away his first nap and see how he does. That lasted until 10am when he started to cry for no good reason. We'll see how the afternoon goes. hmmm...
