Update

Lots to report...

Joseph is recovering from his ear infection. He's back at daycare now, on day 2. He reacted the same way he did when we first started our new spot. Day 1, nosy, looking around, did ok. Day 2, screamed when I left. But, I'm sure he's fine now.

He is obviously feeling better as his appetite has returned and he's back to playing like he used to. He likes to round the coffee table in the living room, and will walk in circles until something else catches his eye. Last night, we spent at least 20 minutes dropping toys on the table to see how they sounded when they hit.

It's hard to believe Joseph is now 9 months old (last Friday, couldn't get a post done). He's reaching all those important milestones, if he hadn't already. In fact, I think he's hit most of the milestones for 10 months by now. Our only hold-up is any real words. He is having a blast making all sorts of sounds, with the latest being "va-va-va". I think he's working on "VA-VA-VA-VOOM!" to throw out to all the cute girls we've had as waitresses lately. He's definitely got a thing for the girls. The poor guy we had at Chili's couldn't even get a smile, even when he was juggling!!

As far as his appetite, we've been having fun. Last night at Dixie Cafe, he was NOT interested in the squash casserole I ordered for him, although baby food squash is one of his favorites. He did have a fun time pulling bites off the roll with his little teeth. Very cute, too bad I didn't have a camera! He did enjoy a little bit of the shredded cheese off mom's salad also.
