I can't resist

I just can't resist posting more pictures of Josh. He is so much fun to be around!


I think Josh may be thinking "Wait til Mom notices that I pooped through my outfit onto the off-white carpet!"



Crawling through his Christmas present from Grandma Wallace.

Recent Photos

Just a few random shots we've captured lately. Josh is 7 months old now, I can't believe it! And I can't believe how much less dependent he is already.

Playing with the Curious George he received from Grandma Bev.


Trying unsuccessfully to pull himself up. The daycare ladies are really dreading that day as it's hard enough to get him to nap now!


Yesterday was the first time I found him sitting up in his crib. I've never seen him get himself into a sitting position before.


Otis' personal hell.


Goofy face, and the face we've been seeing most often lately. Maybe he's teething and it's soothing to chew on his tongue?


As always, he's my happy little guy!

Help Us Help Other Babies!


For the 3rd year in a row, I'll be walking in the March of Dimes March for Babies. This cause is near and dear to my heart. I walk for a number of reasons. I walk to show pride and thanksgiving for Luke - my nephew who is a NICU graduate. I also appreciate all that the March of Dimes has done to help women carry babies to term. Looking at my healthy little guy just fills my heart with gratitude. Especially in light of the fact that I have constant reminders of what the alternative can do...I am responsible for infection prevention in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Seeing those tiny babies, both during my pregnancy and now, makes me realize that we have a long way to go. If you are interested, here is a link to my fundraising website: http://marchforbabies.org/bethwallace
Josh will be joining me, and he'll be intimidating the other walkers like this:

And just because this always makes me smile:


Look at that expression of joy! Josh's second favorite pastime (second only to terrorizing Otis) is eating!

Josh is crawling!

Lock up your dog toys, Josh is on the move! It's not the fluid all fours crawl yet, but he gets around pretty quickly using the army crawl. And his main purpose for crawling is trying to touch Otis or grabbing Otis' toys to shove in his mouth. Otis is not too sure about this development, but we think it's pretty cool!
