Update on Joshua - summer 2011

Joshua weighs about 43 pounds and is about 44 inches tall.  He is really starting to grow up and mature more. He cries less and whines less so that's pretty nice! We tried to get him to play soccer again this past year but that didn't go well. He claims he wants to play tball so we'll see. We might sign him up for the Fall. We actually want him to start taking swimming lessons. He seems to be less afraid of the water so we thought it might be time for that so we shall see. 
He really enjoys riding his scooter outside although the hot summer kept us indoors alot.  His latest craze is building legos and he's quite good at it.  For his birthday, we celebrated at Jumpin Jack Sports and he received alot of great gifts including a few lego sets. He enjoys watching lots of different shows but at night, he likes to watch 'How it's made' with Daddy.  He really enjoys some of the adult educational shows, which is nice for us.  We can only watch so many Dora or Jake and the Pirate episodes.  He had a good summer playing with friends and family, going to birthday parties and taking some trips. 
We're getting geared up for the Fall - some cooler weather and the start of our newest adventure - Kindergarten! Joshua will be AM Kindergarten and then will ride a bus over to Golden Pond School for the rest of the day.  I'm not used to having him go somewhere every day but this school is highly rated and I think he will really enjoy it and learn alot. 
Enjoy some photos of Joshua taken over the last few months...
