JOSH: He just keeps on growing and turning into a "bigger" little boy. The other day I just looked at him and thought to myself, "He isn't a little baby, he really is a little boy. It kind of makes me sad, but not really! I truly have loved this age he is at right now...which by the way, he is going to be 18 months on Monday! I can't believe how time truly does fly! Speaking of 18 months old, yes, I have already taken him to nursery twice. The first time he lasted an hour all by himself. Last Sunday was a little different. I ended up staying in there with him the entire time. Honestly, this church schedule we have sucks! We go from 1-4pm. Conveniently right during Josh's nap time. It has made it very hard, because Josh isn't his happy little self usually, so trying to convince him to stay in nursery is going to be quite a struggle until January, when we start going at 9am. Can't wait! Anyway, he is learning a lot and doing a lot more on his own. He is doing quite well in feeding himself, except when he eats applesauce, it doesn't stay on the spoon very well and ends up going down his shirt! I hate letting him feed himself sometimes though because it is far from being a clean activity! By the end of the day his clothes are filthy! Oh well, he's got to learn! Also, Josh is "talking" so much! He starts talking the instant he wakes up and doesn't stop until he falls asleep! The problem is, he isn't making sense. He doesn't say a lot of actual words, it's just noises, he points at everything to show me what he wants. The funny thing is though, he understands so much of what we tell him. Our favorite is at bedtime we'll say to him "JOsh, go brush your teeth and get your blanket" He then goes and grabs his toothbrush/toothpaste and his blanket. He's so cute! Hopefully he'll start talking ENGLISH! I always get nervous that he isn't "where he should be", in his development! I'm sure it'll come!
DAVE: Dave started school at the end of August. It was a bummer to send him back because it was so nice to have him home with us..and because I never had to pay for a babysitter while I was working! But it is a good thing he is going back, because then it's just that much closer to GRADUATION! :) He is doing really well. He really likes this semester, they are focusing on pediatrics this semester. He is really excited to do his internship for this course. He is going to do it here in Davis County school district. Also, he celebrated his 28th birthday...well not in August, but close to it! September 2! We had a good time. We actually celebrated on the 1st because I had to work on the 2nd. We went to dinner at Applebee's with my parents and then came home and had cake and ice cream with the rest of my family. Then on the 2nd, in the morning before he went to school, and I went to work, Josh and I gave him his presents! Very exciting! NOT! I got him a new "temple" bag, instead of using his backpack, a HUGE bag of peanut M&M's from Sam's club! And then I got him a book by Pres. Monson he's been wanting for a long time. Also, we are going to spend a night somewhere (like Park City maybe) in October or November, and stay the night there and be by ourselves! Josh is 18 months old, it's about time he stays a night at Grandma and Grandpa Fisher's house! They are very excited to have him stay with them for a night! Anyway, it was a good birthday! (Except for the fact that the Gray family needs to work on calling there brother/son on his birthday! Come on Gray's get a calender or something!:)
Me: I too celebrated my birthday on August 11th. Yeah, one more year older! Yes, I am now 29 years old and yes, I am a year older than my husband! :) It was a very nice birthday actually. Dave got me a Friends Season 5, an hour massage, and a cute card he drew....he never buys cards, he makes them! It is a little child-like but I LOVE the cards! They always are so sweet! Then we had a simple bbq at my dad's house and had cake and ice cream with my entire family, including my grandparents. It was a very simple and nice bday.
I hit my year mark at Davis Hospital. I can't believe it's already been a year. Time flies! Honestly I like it most of the time, but truthfully I wish I didn't have to work full time. I'm going to say this once, all you "stay at home mom's", please don't complain about staying at home with your kids, trust me, it's a great blessing you get to do it! And, also, I am getting SO sick of people saying to me, "Oh, you HAVE to work? I'm so sorry for you!" AGGGGGGHHHHH, to those people, just don't talk to me! I get SO SICK of it! (It usually occurs at church for some reason)
Sorry, that was a little release of some stress I've been having lately! Felt good! :)
Anyway, that is about it! I'm sure I missed a lot, but oh well! Here are some pics from the last month!
Josh and I just hanging out on the couch!
My big little boy in his new shoes! He LOVES these shoes! Which by the way, I got these nice tennis shoes at Target for.....$9.99, not bad!
Josh stealing the m&m's from Dave...this bag weighs almost as much as Josh does....almost!
Dave and his gifts! What a cute and wonderful husband I have!

HOLY CRAP. Josh is a full-grown boy! He's the perfect mix of you and Dave, right down to the running shoes. :) What a cutie. I love that you wrote about his "talking". I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to put up with pointing and grunting for communication and who worries if he's where he should be developmentally. Everyone tells me though that when he really starts to talk I'll wish for the days when he couldn't. We'll see.
Nice to see an update. I too got so sick of the judgement of being a working mom. You do what you have to do and everyone does what works for them right? You'll LOVE being home more when you get the chance though. Hang in there!
