The count down has started and we are gearing up for the birthday madness. I am so excited to finally stop having to say Josephs age in months. I always have to count out how many month is has been since he was born and some times I just blurt out a number, I get so confused when people are like oh my child is 16 months I sit there and count in my head uh just tell me that they are one or two, I don't go around saying oh I am 274 months old (yes I took the calculator out and did the math). On another note Joseph finally has two teeth, yes that is right he cut his two first teeth at the same time. They are the bottom front ones, and I must say he was really good about it I thought there was going to be a whole bunch of screaming and no sleeping but he got two ear infections and slept most of the time. He was super clingy but very well behaved. There was a list I had made for Joseph to do before his 1st birthday, get teeth and walk, he has the teeth now we are working on the walking. He is almost walking by himself I think maybe by his birthday he will do it, I think this because he is starting to dance and when he does this he lets go of what ever he is holding and balances for like 30 seconds or so than he grabs on again, very soon I have a feeling of it.

update Joseph is now 11 months and we are gearing for the birthdays....that is right I said birthdayS Joseph will have three. One with my family in Seattle, one with Brian's family in Modesto, and than one with just Brian me and Joseph. I am so excited for all three, the one up in Seattle will have a monkey theme so we are pretty much going to make it look like the jungle spit up all over my mom's house. Than John Deere theme for Modesto, Caryn my wonderful sister inlaw is making the invitations and we are still hammering out all the details. The celebration with just Brian, me, and Joseph is going to be nice and simple maybe a trip to Santa Barbra who knows.
