Well, I can't believe Josiah is almost 3 months old. Where has the time gone? The next few weeks are going to go by even faster. I finish working at EWE on Friday! Praise the Lord! God has finally released me to be a stay at home mom. On Sunday, Chris will drive us half way to Georgia. I will be spending 2 weeks in GA with my family before we make the big trip up to Virginia. Chris will start his position at the church on October 6th. He will start his ESL classes at the Christian school on October 14th. We can move into our apartment on October 11th. We have been waiting so long for this day to come and now everything seems to be moving so fast that we aren't capable of enjoying this time as much as we would like. Please continue to pray for us as we make these transitions--Chris going from a stay at home dad to having two part time positions. Sara going from a full time teacher to a stay at home mom. Josiah going from the comforts of the only home he has known to moving to "his home." It will be so nice to FINALLY have a nursery for him with a real crib!
Josiah has learned to do many new things over the last few weeks. He can roll on to his side. He smiles when he sees his Mommy and Daddy. He laughs at his toys. He has better control of his head. When we put him in his bed, he falls asleep on his own. We try to rock him, but he wants nothing to do with it. He wants the comfort of his own bed. He already knows what he wants and doesn't want and that included not wanting to take a bottle anymore! A week ago Wednesday, he stopped taking his bottle. I've been pumping milk for him while I am at work, and he will not drink it. Chris has been bringing him to work during my lunch and specials so I can feed him. Yesterday, we made some formula and put it in the bottle. He drank 3 oz. rather quickly. Chris is going to try my milk again to see if he is taking the bottle again or if he can really tell the difference between my milk and formula. With all the eating he has been doing, he is now 26 inches long and 12 1/2 lbs.! Three month pants fit him in the waist, but he needs six month pants to fit him in the legs! Josiah LOVES his bath time! He doesn't mind having water on his face, which is a good thing because we want him to like the pool. He is now riding in the stroller like a big boy--there are pictures in his album!
We will continue to post pictures and journal entries, but it might be a few weeks as we go through all these transitions.
We love you all and thanks for all the many prayers lifted on our behalf!
