Josiah is 6 months old! My how the time flys!

My baby boy is 6 months old!
So for this occasion we celebrated his birthday at my parents house. But mainly this was more of an excuse for a BBQ with family. :)
He had so much fun! Unfortunately he was really tired so he wasnt able to have a little taste of his cake.

He did get some new awesome toys from the grandparents though! A walker from my parents and a toy from my husbands parents. Josiah LOVED both the toys very much, he played and played like crazy. The toy that grandma and grandpa Barrows got him made him shriek so loud with delight it made us all laugh hysterically. I have never seen him that excited over anything. It was a great day.

Enjoy!

Kind of last minute decor, but it still turned out great!

My happy Josiah, playing with one of his new toys

This picture is so precious

Why did I do a 1/2 year b-day party? Well look at it this way, he'll never have another 1/2 birthday party, a good oppurtunity for family to get together too. Also my last reason, his birthday is in February, and I don't know about you, but I know that it's a little bit more limited celebrating birthdays in winter than in the summer. We all had so much fun and I don't regret it for anything.

Anyway back to the normal stuff...

Update on Josiah...he is very mobile. I put him on the floor on one side of the room and I go downstairs to switch laundry really quick. I come back upstairs and he's already in the middle of the room making his way to the other side.
This morning, while I was still sleeping Ben was getting up for work. Josiah was already up at that point, playing and cooing in his crib. Ben has the bright idea to put him in our bed with me. As soon as he puts Josiah down on our bed I finally wake up and Josiah is rolling everywhere! I had to put my hand on the kid so that he wouldn't fall off the bed.
I"ve also noticed that he is nearly crawling, he is growing up too fast for me. I just want time to stop so that I can enjoy his infantcy just a bit longer.
He LOVES to eat, esspecially applesauce. He eats that up like a champ, constantly opening up his mouth for more, and if I'm not going fast enough for him he nearly starts throwing a fit! So funny!
