Our weekend, summarized

I've been naughty again, forgetting to post about Josh. Well, forgetting probably isn't the right word... more like way too busy! I didn't even take one photo of Josh last week--isn't that crazy?!?! So unlike me. This past weekend was very busy. Friday during the day I cleaned and did laundry and in the evening we went to Wiscasset to pick up our Volvo. The Volvo place there wanted to do all this expensive work it--needless to say, Dave is going to do the work himself and save us a ton (hmmm, well actually, it would be a few tons!). Saturday, we borrowed the Padre's truck and went to the transfer station, returned bottles, got some plants and dirt and mulch for landscaping. All that time, Josh hung out with Grammy Ri and Grampa Padre. Of course he didn't nap much. It was very hot if you recall, so we went to the lake and went swimming. Even though he was very tired, Josh was a sport and went skinny dipping. He took a two-hour nap when we got home. Sunday, Melissa came over in the morning and trimmed my hair and did a fabulous job as always. Then we went to the grocery store. I did a bunch of cooking, including ruining a cake (ugh, sooooo not a good cook. I'd settle for being adequate, but I'm not even sure that I am that.) We did the landscaping as a family, but I mostly entertained Josh and Tobey. Then we had dinner, Josh had a bath and went to bed and I DID help a little bit with planting 3 small plants and mulching. I took some pics and hopefully will have some time to post them this week.

Joshy updates: Josh is amazing, of course! He is sooooo close to crawling. Maybe I can get some video. He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. He manages to get around little by scooting. He is also still working on some new teeth and is a little irritable sometimes. He loves to go outside. We visited our goat-neighbors on Sunday and he was quite entertained by them. Our neighbors brought over some green beans which I cooked Sunday (I didn't screw those up!) which I food processed for Josh. He gagged and cried when I fed them to him. So no lumpy foods yet, he likes the jarred baby food still. We also had to lower his crib because he was mobile and strong enough to make his way to the opposite end of his crib and pull down his mobile. It has bunnies hanging from it and I was worried that he'd choke himself.
