Updates on the kids

Zoe will be 9 months old next week. Unbelievable! She is sitting up now and loads of fun. She has a quick smile and a laugh that would melt your heart.  She loves taking baths. Here is a shot from one she took the other day.  No, I did not tell her to strategically place the duckies. She just knew to do it.

Here she is in her attempt to crawl.  Right now, she only moves backwards and somehow managed the other day to get stuck under the couch. She didn't seem to mind too much.
Josiah is becoming a great big brother. He loves to "help" Zoe (as you see here as he pulls her out from under the couch.)  He also likes to instruct her a lot. Some would probably say he is bossy.  I have no idea where he gets that from!! :o)
His newest obsession is the Wii. We have had it for a while, but in the last couple of weeks you can hardly pull him away from it. All day long, "Play the wii, mommy?  How about bowling??"  He is actually pretty good.  You can see his top score here.  Yes, you see it correctly. 177. And he beats Steve who only got a 154. You can believe that Steve played another round and made sure he won that one!! :o)
Josiah's newest obsession is the violin.  Here he is with a toy violin that someone gave me when I was teaching preschool. It was too cool of a toy to leave behind, so I kept it. He loves it.  When listening to music, if it has a violin in it, he is quick to point it out. He has a great ear. I think he will do something musically one day.
