Santa Baby

Yes, there he is.



My Santa Baby.
Joshua is all too quickly zooming toward the ripe old age of 1. He turned 8 months old on Sunday.

Just two days before that, we took him to the doctor, where we learned he weighs 15 pounds now.

We celebrated the milestone by giving all three boys flu shots.

And, this is the crazy thing. Upon hearing the news, Jason and Michael screamed, "Yay!" and jumped up onto the doctor's table. No tears, quite the opposite. And, when it was Joshua's turn to roll up his pants for a shot, both older boys wanted a front row seat. The nurse had to ask them to step aside a bit so she could get to work.

The only "crybaby" was Joshua--but, his big brothers didn't hold it against him. When they went to the treat chest in the doctor's office (a box filled with stickers and plastic gadgets and stuff), they duly picked up a toy for their little brother.
