What's been going on during the 9th month

The months of May - June were packed full of trips to MN and SF. The months of July & August has winded down, but still very action packed for Baby Soo. Joshua has charged on, perfecting his crawl, cruising, climbing up and down stairs, pulling books off shelves, picking up and eating pieces of food, and even holding a stand for about 1 second. He also loves to say mama and baba, give razzberries(?), and make popping sounds. He gets a kick out of those! There's just so much to explore that it can be quite a handful for both mama and papa Soo.


Joshua hanging out with two of his playmates, Alice and Kasten. Kasten is a couple of months older than Joshua. From his skin color, it appears that he may have eaten quite a bit of carrots.


Joshua likes to help his mommy do the laundry or maybe he's hiding out to take a coffee break?


Is Joshua trying to determine Alice's finger size for a proposal? Hmm.... wonder what their parents think of this early courtship?


This picture was when Joshua was first learning how to climb down stairs. Thank goodness he's figured how to step down by crawling backwards instead of charging head first.


This was taken during the July 4th weekend from SF. It was added here because the pappa and son look so happy together!
