6 Months & Loving It!

This month Joseph turned six whole months. And boy oh boy what a ball we are having!! Joseph is now very aware of his surroundings and is very curious about everything and everyone he sees. It is very nice to take him places now because he doesn't cry anymore. What a blessing!
This month Joseph started going to "Baby Story Time" at our local library. He likes to watch the bigger kids jump and play and can't wait to do it himself. He also loves the bubbles.
Joseph went to his first Taiko Festival a few weeks ago. Although he couldn't see much from where we were sitting, he enjoyed the lights and the company! We had a good time with old friends.
We will be getting ready for October and Halloween very soon. So stay tuned!

Mother Goose time!

This week my good friend Marta invited Joseph and me to join her and her daughters (Daniela 2 and Eva 5 mos) to Mother Goose time at her library. Mother Goose time is very common among public libraries. It gives new mommies an opportunity to interact with their babies along with other mommies. At Mother Goose time we sang beautiful lullabies and read interesting books. We also did some leg and arm exercises. The leg exercises did wonders for little Eva. They helped her poop! So cute!!! Joseph had a great time watching me sing and read to him. He also likes to see other children playing. After all the songs and stories were over they brought out a big tub of toys to play with. Daniela was very helpful in bringing toys to the babies. Thank you Dani! She was also very good throughout the entire time! I'm sure it's hard for a 2 year old to sit still with so much going on! Here is Joseph playing with an abacus Daniela had brought to the babies to play with. He liked the colorful beads. Overall, Joseph and I both enjoyed Mother Goose time, and especially because we got to see two beautiful princesses! Thanks Marta!
