WubbaNub!

 Thank goodness for this little miracle, aka the WubbaNub. If it was not already invented, I think I could have come up with it on my own. Joshua is always losing his binky just as he is on the brink of sleep, then it falls out and he starts whining for us to give it back to him. Problem solved! The binky is sewn into this little monkey that rests on his chest, so it doesn't fall out and it gives his little hands something to grasp. Perfect!

Chubby Cheeks for a chubby baby!

Joshua had his monthly doctors visit yesterday, and he weighed in at...........9.5 pounds! He is still in the 5th percentile, but he is gaining weight consistently, so the doctors are happy and so are we. New rolls are just popping up every day and we love finding them!

The physical therapist came this week. She comes twice a month to our home and works with Joshua on stretching his neck and helping him lift his head midline and not to one side or the other. He still prefers turning, sleeping with his head to the right, so we are working on making that left side more comfortable. Joshua is getting better and better at tummy time. He only tolerates it for about 5 minutes or so, and then it is time for a break....its tough being a baby!

Break time

What.... Three more minutes?!

Im done!

 After tummy time, we have the ultimate relaxation nap. I swaddle him in his favorite plush blanket and we both take a nap. Well sometimes its mommy taking the nap, and Joshua just sits there and stares. Such a weird thing, we have so many toys for him, yet his favorite thing in the living room is to stare up at the ceiling fan. What a character!

That's all the updates for now. I return to work this Thursday, so wish me luck. Im not looking forward to leaving Joshua for such a long time, but he and Daddy will have a good time. Much love from Team Altman!
