A Handful

I now know the meaning of this term. Joshua is very active at the moment. He doesn’t like to stay put for very long and he doesn’t like to play with his toys either. He is often crawling to some place and getting into things he shouldn’t be. Kelly tells me he is able to get off the bed by himself. He just goes to the edge, puts his feet down and grabs onto a sheet to lower himself down. Yesterday afternoon we went out to get a camera. This would please those who think there are not enough photos on this blog. Kelly and I both have devices to capture photos, but they don’t work quite as well as we would like. We picked up the Canon IXUS 115, although I liked the look of the Nikon Coolpix S3300. I didn’t do any research before we went, I didn’t even know we were going to buy a camera, so we just got the Canon. We don’t actually pick it up until today, so no pics yet. This is the four weekend where we have something to do that impinges on our freedom, so next weekend we will go and do something and put some pics up here. Last night we let Joshua lose in the living room. Up until now he had been in the high chair, the play seat and on the sofa, but not down on the floor. I was fun to watch him zoom around. He loves exploring and having four dogs to zoom around made it even more fun. The dogs’ reaction was interesting. Obviously they have interacted with Joshua for 10 months now, but not on the same level. Ting Ting has been in closer contact with him over the last ten months, and she quickly let it be know that she was not comfortable with this little thing that was as big as her. I think she thinks he does not move with the kind of grace and control she would like. Pan Pan kept licking him. I think she wants Joshua to be hers, no other dog can have him. When Joshua became a bit more adventurous and climbed the stairs, Lucky chaperoned him up the stairs, making sure he was OK. He then seem to follow him around to make sure he wasn’t getting into trouble. I don’t worry about Lucky being left alone with Joshua. Lilly just kept out of Joshua’s way. He was way too excited to sleep and kept waking up during the night. We thought he might be hungry, as he didn’t eat his dinner and he didn’t take his bottle before bed. I think he might be teething, but I won’t say for sure until I see those teeth.
