Cute.Cute.Cute.

Yep. I'm fully aware that I've already taken (and posted) pictures of our 6 month old little guy. But, I had to get one in the white onesie with the quilt for his month to month pics (that I hate myself for not doing with Addilyn). I told myself just one. I just needed one quick picture. Well, one turned into about 15 of the cutest pictures you've ever seen. I'm only uploading two though. Be proud. You know, since it has so much more to do with the fact that I have self control with the cuteness of my kids or that the video takes up too much space so I couldn't post too many. Either way, be proud.
An update on Josiah- since I won't remember it when someone asks what was he like as a 6 month old or I am exhausted with our next baby and wonder if I was this tired with him. Yes, Yes you were... Josiah doesn't sleep much. He had one night that he slept 2 different 4 hour stretches (when Addilyn was randomly up for at 2 hours of the night) in the past few weeks. Other than that, he's up every. two. stinkin. hours. But, everything else about him is amazing and wonderful. He's eating like a champ. So far, he's inhaled rice cereal and green beans and is trying to decide about avocados and carrots. He loves to sit and quickly dismisses all other ways to play. He doesn't roll or crawl. Nor do I really see those in the immediate future. (we won't talk about the crazy mom moments this previous special ed teacher has had about regression). For now, I love knowing I can put him down and he'll still be there when I come back to the room. He loves his Sissy, even though her crazy loudness scares him sometimes and she always takes his toys away. He's starting to enjoy being in the exersaucer for longer than 5 minutes at a time. He prefers blankets, burp cloths, or his fingers to most toys. Except Sophie the Giraffe and her friend (don't know its name, it's the same material as Sophie but looks like a little person with a blue thing on his head). He'll play with other toys but if these things are in the mix, he'll always choose them. He LOVES it outside, even when its freezing cold. He is the most expressive 6 month old that's ever lived. I promise.

He's starting to babble and it's the cutest thing ever. Except maybe when Sissy did it. They tie in cuteness. I had to cut this video a lot because it was too long to put on the blog, I tried to pick out the cutest parts!
