Christmas in MS Issue 7

Emily had one more present to open from her Mamaw, a bath robe. She's been wanting one for ever and has been wearing mine, so her Mamaw found her one at Dillard's. I'd been looking everywhere but not found one. Also, Sunday when we drove up from church we were surprised to see Uncle Jason and Aunt Rhonda here waiting on us. They were on their way home from their "mini-vacation" and stopped by (after getting a message from sweet Emily on their cell phone pitifully telling them she missed them). We didn't get to see them long, but they are coming back on Thursday evening.
Tonight I walked out in the other room to find this...Emily sitting in her great-Mamaw's lap. Emily's being in a bad mood tonight (because she didn't get a nap) and has been ugly to all of us so it was so sweet to walk out and see this. Of course little brother had to hop in for a picture.
He loves his Mamaw Costilow holding him...for a few minutes, then he's ready to get down and crawl, but he sat their for a little while looking at her.

Joseph playing with his activity table from his Mamaw and Papaw, this has been the big hit obviously. Emily "fights" with Joseph over it and it's his, a baby toy. It really has some cool music on it, and good variety too. It has "La Cucaracha", Classical, blugrass and mother goose, & children's songs.


Joseph trying to get past me on the step off. If you've been to my parents you know that there's a step leading out to the breeze way and "other room" as we call it. He's really been standing up lately and trying to get up to walk. We took him to the pediatrician here in Philadelphia today to re check his ears. He had been pulling at them and was running a slight fever so I wanted to check them in case they were infected since we aren't heading back to GA for almost a week. His ears are fine, thank the LORD!!! I think it's just teething. They did weigh him and he's 17 pounds (only 3rd percentile for a 9 month old), and he's almost 30 inches long (almost 90 percentile for a 9 month old boy). He definitely is my LONG, SKINNY boy. I hope you all are staying well and warm.
