Harvalas In Holland: Joshua

I finally got some time to get more pictures up. It just wasn't the most important thing to get done during nap time. I am happy to say I am finished with thank you's!!!! The week after Easter Adam went to the cities for a conference and I decided to load up the van and head to my mom and dad's for the week (while he was gone) so here are a couple picture before we left and some in ND.

Some may think traveling 4 hours with 2 kids under 2 would not be so much fun and would not want to take it on. It really isn't so bad, just make sure everyone's fed before leaving and you have a full tank of gas and you should be fine. I did not stop once on the way up! On the way back about 30-45 minutes from Holland we pulled off the road for about 5 minutes to re-strap Joshua back in as he had gotten his arms free because the seatbelt hadn't been tightened all the way.

He also came up with a new meaning of "comfort food". While having a snack he had to have a cracker or cookie or whatever he was eating in both hands, he would eat from one hand, but with the other hand he just carried food around in it for hours! He even did this on the way home, Joshua had a cookie in his hand on the way out to the van and he never took a bite of it until about a good 2 1/2 hours later!

Oh! March 31st I spotted his first 2nd molar (his bottom right) and then on April 2nd I spotted the bottom left one! Who knows, maybe the top ones have poked through by now too, they are a little harder to see. I just happened to see the bottom ones he will do this crying thing with his mouth wide open. So... I guess that explains some mysteries that had been going on with him, such as for about the previous 3 weeks he had extremely icky diapers randomly, while in ND he wouldn't eat much at all (my mom was getting pretty worried about him) and a few times he even woke up during the night. Life's better now -- only 2 more teeth to go (until wisdom teeth) if they haven't poked through yet.
