It seems like March came and went before we even really got a chance to flip the calendar page. We started the month with a sick baby who got his father and mother both sick. Joshua had his first antibiotic due to the pink eye and ear infection he got from his sickness while his mother took her own antibiotic for the sinus infection caused by her sickness. He quickly started to feel better as soon as the antibiotic was started so that we could have our playdate with Addison and her mom Jen. Then on we went to Ashley's bridal shower in Concord. Joshua was so very loved on that day. It is days like that that spoil him and make our lives harder b/c he expects that same amount of attention from momma and daddy when we get home. Needless to say, I seem to put off household chores to spend extra time with my baby and then wonder at the end of the day or week what the heck happened to my house. However, we will never have this stage back with sweet Joshua, so I am trying to take in every second of it! He is just way too much fun for this momma to handle, and I thank God every day for such a blessing!

After Ashley's shower we stopped by to see Grandma and Ga Ga in Albemarle. Joshua enjoyed driving a car and dressing up like his Ga Ga.
Joshua turned 8 months old on the 12th, and on that very same day started sitting up from lying down on his own. He's such a smart little boy!
Some of Derek's family came to town for his cousin Jack's basketball game. His high school was in the state championship and Jack is one of the stars of the team. We really enjoyed seeing that family b/c we don't see them very often. Joshua even did really well at the game considering it started at 7:30...Joshua's normal bedtime. The next day we went to hang out with Shane and Anna and their new baby, Grace. She slept most of the time we were there, but Joshua enjoyed drooling on his mother's face and playing with his friend Greg (Nichole's husband and Ayden's daddy). Then my darling son started CRAWLING! He has since become a pro and it is oh so cute! It's so fun to go away from him and then get him to come to me since he's never been able to do this before! I just love him crawling after me!! He has also started pulling on our legs if he crawls to us and wants to be picked up! I can't say it enough.....I love that kid!!! Thank you Lord for such an awesome baby boy!!
This past weekend, the final one in March (although I feel like there have been 50 weekends in March), our friends Tricia and Dave got married! It was a great wedding, but I'll write more in a separate post about that. We also went to a double baby shower on Sunday for our friends Mallory & JP and Sarah & Mike. Sadly we forgot our camera, so we don't have any pictures to share. It was great fun to catch up with some old friends!
March was a fast and fantastic month with many milestones! We can't wait to see what all April holds for our family. I just have to say, though, that I need my baby boy to quit growing up so fast. We love to see him reach milestones, but I just can't take the fact that tomorrow he will be graduating from high school!
