Waking up with Josh

Lately Josh has been waking us up with new and strange phrases. About a month ago woke up and climbed out of bed and poked his head out the door of his room and asked "is anybody home?" a couple of times until we responded.

This morning we got woken up as Josh shouted from his room "Ahoy there!". At first we thought he was having some weird pirate dream, but after the fifth "Ahoy there" we realized he was talking to us. What is the appropriate response to "Ahoy there"? We called back "Ahoy there" and went and got him up.

Ahoy there!

I want to watch it again!

So this morning at 6:20 Josh wakes up screaming and crying " I want to watch it again, I want to watch it again." He said it probably 15 times before I finally went in there and picked him up and took him downstairs. What did he want to watch again? I have no idea! Other news I am 31 weeks pregnant today, that means only 9 more weeks until my due date, ahhhhhhhhhhh. This pregnancy has definitely been faster than with Josh. The worst part about it is that Jonathan and I still haven't got a name picked out for this little boy. Last night we went through about 6 or 7 Hundred names and did not find one we both really like. Such a contrast from with Josh, "oh lets pick a J name because of Jonathan and Jesse (my father in laws name)". "How about Joshua," "sounds good". DONE.

Ok so I'm a Lemming,

So as per this new blog I have become a social lemming, jumping into the world of blogging just because all the people around me have done so. But I guess there are worse things in this world than being a follower. I am actually quite excited about this blog, and I have a few ideas for posts already. I know that it will be nice when I have my new baby boy (not too much longer), people can get all the goods and see pictures as he changes. Hmmm well what else do I say?... Today Josh was playing outside (thank goodness for some nicer weather), and since I haven't taken very many pictures of him lately I thought I should, so here they are.

Jon would say this is an Amanda smile

I'm the King of the Castle (He actually said that too!)

This one turned out better than expected

Love this one
