WELL JOSHUA TURNED 7 WEEKS OLD TODAY! HE IS CURRENTLY WEIGHING IN AT 8 POUNDS 11.5 OUNCES, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HE IS BECAUSE I FORGOT TO MEASURE HIM BEFORE HE WENT TO BED. HE IS SUCH A FUNNY BABY WHO HAS RECENTLY FOUND HIS TOUNGE. IT IS ALWAYS COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH, OR TRYING TO LICK SOMETHING! HIS FAVORITE THING TO DO IS TO GET HIS TOUNGE RIGHT BEHIND HIS LIP AND PUSH IT OUT. HE HAS ALSO STARTED "TALKING" MORE, A LOT OF THE TIME HE SOUNDS LIKE OUR CAT, WE THINK SHE IS TEACHING HIM HOW TO MEOW. HE LIKES TO TALK, JUST LIKE HIS BIG BROTHER! HE LOVES WATCHING HIS TOYS AND HIS MOBILE. HE STILL LOVES BATHS, AND HAS DECIDED THAT HE REALLY LIKES TO TAKE SHOWERS TOO. HE IS AWAKE FOR MOST OF THE DAY, AND ABOUT HALF OF THE EVENING. FOR A COUPLE OF NIGHTS HE EVEN SLEPT FOR 8 TO 8 1/2 HOURS WITHOUT WAKING UP TO EAT. HOWEVER THAT ONLY LASTED FOR 2 NIGHTS, AND NOW WE ARE BACK TO FEEDING HIM ABOUT EVERY 3 HOURS. HE IS STILL ONLY TAKING BETWEEN 1 1/2 TO 2 OUNCES EVERY 3 HOURS, EVERY ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE WE WILL GET HIM TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT, BUT NOT MUCH. HE LOVES HIS BIG BROTHER SO MUCH, AND WILL LOOK FOR HIM WHEN HE IS NOT IN THE ROOM. WHEN HE HEARS HIM HE WILL IMMEDIATLY LOOK OVER TO WHERE JONATHAN IS AT. I AM PLANNING ON DOING A PHOTO SHOOT WITH JONATHAN IN THE MORNING. I AM WANTING TO ENTER HIM IN REGIS AND KELLY'S BEAUTIFUL BABY SEARCH, SO I HAVE TO GET SOME GOOD PICTURES OF HIM TO SEND IN. TO BAD I CAN'T SEND IN PICTURES OF BOTH OF OUR BOYS. JOSHUA ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO ENTER THE CONTEST YET, HE HAS TO BE 6 MONTHS OLD BEFORE HE CAN ENTER. OH WELL MAYBE NEXT YEAR WHEN JONATHAN WON'T BE ABLE TO ENTER BECAUSE HE WILL BE TO OLD.
