Hanging out

This was the first time Dianne brought Angelica over during our scrapbooking get togethers. She and Joshua got along really well and had a lot of fun. She "read" a book to him a couple of times and he LOVED it. They chased each other all around the room, laughing out loud. It was really cute.

California

We went on a road trip to CA over the weekend. It was a pretty quick trip and we certainly didn't have enough time to see everyone we wanted to. Hopefully we can see more people next time we are down. We mostly visited with Jeremy's side of the family. (Although I didn't get pictures with everyone!!)


Joshua had a blast running up and down the stairs at grandma's house. We had to always watch him and follow him up and down since he's a little clumsy on the stairs still.






He loved playing the piano. Auntie Kimberly helped him out. He was so delicate with the keys. Carefully pressing one at a time instead of banging on them.










We went to the Aquarium. Joshua seemed to really like the fish. But the poor guy was exhausted from all of the visiting and conked out on Grandpa's shoulder during the last exhibit. We transfered him to the stroller and he slept for a good while.



Joshua also got to go "swimming" for the first time. He pretty much just clung to us the entire time but seemed to really enjoy being in the water.

What?

Joshua is so funny. He emptied out his basket full of books to be able to sit and read in it. I think I interrupted him by taking this photo. Looks like he's thinking, "What? Can't a boy read in peace?"

4th of July

Joshua goes to bed pretty early so we didn't go to any big firework displays this year. It doesn't even get dark here until pretty late. But, he watched with fascination as we lit a few small fireworks before dark. We had to hold him because he wanted to run over and touch everything. He's such a curious little guy! :)
