Still Here!

I'm definitely not planning to stop blogging!  Just not sure whether to be so detailed or not.  ;)  I'm glad to know so many of you enjoy reading... as I do enjoy reading about those of you who also blog!  So we'll see what may come.  I definitely appreciate it when you leave comments just because it's nice to hear from you all!!!  Don't be a secret-stalker!  LOL.   Anyway... since it has been over a week since I gave any updates on my little cutie... I'll go ahead and indulge a little now.  :)

Thankfully, Josiah's long bout of diarrhea is finally done!  He's doing well... getting a little attached to Mommy... which is both endearing and annoying at the same time!  When I'm sitting next to him on the floor... he reaches for me and climbs (as best he can) into my lap.  He wants to be held... well, sortof.  He wants me to be his legs for him.  He doesn't want to sit still and cuddle... he wants me to walk him around so he can see and touch everything that he can't reach on his own!  This is one active, observant, curious little boy!  I can't decide if I'll be happy or sad when he can finally crawl on his own!  I'll be happy that he can entertain himself a little better... but I know I'm in for it when it comes to him getting into EVERYTHING!   My parents got him a little race car walker to play in at their house, and he LOVES it... he "walks" all over their house, opening cabinets, drawers, touching everything he can.  And so now, when he's in the exersaucer at our house (which is stationary) he jumps so hard that he can actually make it move from one side of the kitchen to the other!  He's a mess! 

With the 3 1/2 week long tummy issues, we had to limit his food variety to things that wouldn't make him worse.  So he ate tons of applesauce, yogurt and bananas.  And he has decided that while he LOVES those (and most other fruits), he's not interested in veggies anymore at all.  He spits them out.  I keep trying, but not forcing... and hoping that he'll come around.  He did manage to eat several bites of carrots today which shocked me... so maybe there is hope!  If nothing else, I'm sure when he starts finger foods, he may branch out more.  :)  He sure wants them when they are on MY plate! 

Hmmm... so how's that for a nice long post?!  :)
