He is very vocal and "talks" all the time, no real words yet! In the last month he has learned to drink from a sippy cup, crawl, pull himself up to standing, and even walk along furniture. His favorite thing to do is kneel beside his toy box and play with his toys. He loves feet, animal crackers and the song "She'll be comin' Round the Mountain".

10 Months Old

9 Months Old

Joshua now weighs 20 pounds 9 ounces - 50th %!! He is 29" tall which is the 75th percentile! Hopefully his weight gain will slow down soon or else I won't be able to lift him anymore! He loves all singing and music, and his favorite food is sweet potatoes. He's very ticklish and his favorite toy is his exer-saucer! He is better at sitting up but is still has a ways to go before crawling. His 2 top front teeth are also on their way in.

8 months old

Weight: 19 pounds 2 ounces. Joshua is a lot of fun these days. He loves to blow raspberries all the time and his favorite food is Peas (believe it or not). He has his 2 bottom front teeth and tries to eat everything from my cell phone to...well actually just everything! He is getting better and sitting up and is very good at reaching and grabbing things. Joshua isn't even close to crawling but has learned his own form of transportation which involves laying on his back, grabbing his legs and rolling around. He has a great sense of humor and we live for that smile!

7 Months Old

Joshua weighs 17 pounds 1 ounce which puts him in the 25th percentile for his age. He tries (unsuccessfully) to sit up all the time and he just got his first tooth! His favorite toy is a v-tech steering wheel that makes car noises, and he loves to eat squash mmmm! and baby oatmeal.

He usually has one 4 hour stretch at night and the rest of the time he eats every 3 hours, 4-5 ounces of milk. He loves to lift his head up and look around, and his favorite thing to do is stare at the bright lights in the kitchen!

2 Months Old

Joshua had been home for about 2 weeks and weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces! He finally out-grew his first preemie outfit! He was awake every 2-3 hours to eat 3 ounces of milk, and was very uncomfortable from reflux, hernias and more. His favorite time to be awake was 3 am, and tummy time was more like the perfect position for napping rather than head control practice!

One Month Old

At one month Joshua was 5 pounds 8 ounces and breathing great on his own but needed a little extra oxygen to get through a feeding. He nursed about two times a day and was fed the rest of his meals through an NG (nasogastric) tube. It took so much out of him to eat that the rest of the day he would sleep. His favorite thing is cuddling with mommy and daddy!

One week old

At one week Joshua came off the CPAP and was on a little bit of oxygen to help him breathe. He was back up to his birth weight of 3 pounds 12 ounces.
