Our Little Boy is Growing Up...

So, today was Mike's last day off from his mini-vacation! We enjoyed the day and did a quick errand in the morning with the intention of stopping at the learning center to play on the way home. We went to a different Walmart than normal because they had what we thought we wanted in stock (we went with something slightly different). Anyway, there is a Toys-R-Us next to this Walmart, we pull up and Noah goes, "R, Go R, I want R!" Okay to clarify, there is not a Toys-R-Us that close to us, it is not a store we frequent, we've maybe been 3 times in the last year. How does he know that? He doesn't see many cartoons (we watch Disney or movies mostly without commercials!). We had on Friday during our outings to look at a couple of more preschoolers, gone in search of pull back cars cause Noah and Josh love them, so do mommy and daddy honestly! So we did decide to go and see if we could find some since we hadn't found any at Walmart or Target on Friday. What a smart boy, clever!
Today we turned Josh's carseat around so he is facing forward. We could have technically done it at his first birthday, he was just over 20lbs then. The thing was he was just barely over 20lbs, so we waited. I am not sure just how much weight he has gained, but know that he has gained some in the last month and some and he's getting longer and no longer seemed comfortable. He had the widest eyes on our drive and was pointing and saying "that" often on our drive. They are both growing up so quickly!
And one more little tidbit about Mr. Josh cause it is just too cute not to share. I guess today at his nap (Mike put him down, I was working on the newsletter) Mike gave Josh his bear, his special bear that Aunt Lauren bought him before he was born and he had his picture taken with every month. Josh grabbed onto and held tight. So sweet, but then it gets sweeter! Tonight when checking on the boys Josh again had his bear that had been left from nap. He had that bear wrapped snuggly under his arm and hadn't moved at all, which is unusual because usually he's all over the place. Guess we know he needs his bear now - I love that he may have a comfort object to grow up with. So thanks Aunt Lauren for such a special bear!
