Wow. It was so nice to see this post "bumped."
It's been a while and it definitely made me happy.

Yosef is really big (20 lbs.--no joke!)
We started solids--he's eating nicely but still much prefers to nurse. He eats 2 meals (breakfast and lunch) when he's with the babysitter because he won't take a bottle under any circumstance--from anyone, any setting, any type of bottle--he sees a bottle and "shuts down." So my wonderful babysitter gives him cereal mixed with breastmilk and then gives him 2 another 2 oz. of milk with a spoon! Then he takes his big morning nap.
Which is weird because from 2 months to 5 months I was out of the house the entire day (from 7 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon) and he took bottles without a problem--then I was home for a month and got used to only nursing, I guess.
He's sitting nicely, scooting around while sitting, is crawling (creeping) backwards and has his 2 front bottom teeth. He just finished a month-long ear infection but is much better now.
He's babbling a lot too and would spend the entire day on the swings in the park if we'd let him!
Sleeping is great b"ah--he takes two 2.5 hour naps (morning and afternoon) and usually just gets up once at night (which for him is from about 8 until about 6:30) for about 5 minutes--then goes right back to sleep.
He's also a real cuddler--I love it! Often if my toddler is napping and yosef is not and I'm really tired, I can just sit on the couch or in bed and he'll curl up and rest on me--he's so delicious!

Wow.
What a busy year!
Happy Birthday Everyone!!

We'll have some type of party. I can't imagine I'll have anything ready for next week (his Hebrew birthday) due to circumstances and I must finish my schoolwork so I can graduate this month!!!
I think we'll do something when the whole family's together for chanukah. Maybe make a combination birthday party and seudas hodaah for him...

How time has flown by, three years cannot believe it. My little Yehuda is three on Shabbos and his Uphshernish is on sunday. He is very excited about it. I think we have prepared him weel. It helps having three older brothers that he has watched having their hair cut. Last Motzei shabbos I cut their hair and used the scissers we will be using on sunday IY"H. We had a bit of a play roll with his oldest brother, showed him what would happen and that it does not hurt. He looked so excited.
I have found it hard to come to terms that he is three and having his hair cut. He has been at home with me three years and it is a bit of a shock to the system that he is so big. he has beautiful long curly hair it will be a shame to cut it. I keep joking lets leave it another year then we will cut it lol!!! But it is getting a bit knotty and having to spend 20 minutes each morning combing it, putting it up and Yamulka on every morning is very time consuming.

Well Happy Birthday to all your three year olds and enjoy them!!!!
