Bath-time!

I am still so far behind... I must make an effort to devote more time to blogging. I have had many great thoughts of things I wanted to share, but have forgotten them before I sat down to type. Last night I went to bed very early (9:30) instead of blogging. It was nice to sleep.

Anyway, about a week ago we tried to have MJ and Joey take a bath together. They both really like it. Joey likes to grab the ducks and letters floating around in the tub. And MJ doesn't even bring his cars in the bath like he used to b/c he only wants to play with Joey. It's very fun. MJ even tries to wash Joey with a wash cloth. He pours water on him (but not over his head).

Let's see, I think this cute picture is from Thursday. A neighbor was throwing out this table and it was just perfect for my collection. Mario thinks I'm gathering junk but I've been wanting a table to put our sandbox on for awhile. I found some cheapo kid tables for $8 or so, but I really didn't like how they looked so I didn't buy it. I figured free is the best price I could get. My hope is that it would help keep sand in the box and I think it's working.

Joey liked playing on the deck too. Wouldn't you know it, the little stinker was trying to pull the blanket back again and feel what's underneath.

Oh before I forget:

MJs new things: He says "Please, may I be excused" when he is finished eating at the table, I feel there is a light at the end of the terrible two discipline tunnel, and he is going on several weeks in a row where he's been really good in church. He tells us in a whisper-voice on the way to church "You have to be quiet in church b/c people are praying."

Joey's new things: Still eating solids, may be beginning teething, lunges from a sitting position and is really trying to crawl. He tries to reach for things but his movements seem to make him go backwards more than forwards. Oh and his 6 month numbers:
34 lb 3 oz, 28 7/8 inches
MJ was (at 6 months and 2 weeks) 37 lbs 4 oz, 28 3/4 inches
