The AlaBahamians

For some reason I'm not allowed to publish anymore pictures (I've been trying for the past two days). So I'll get more as I can. This picture here at the top was from our Mother's Day outting-- those pictures are coming soon :)
Emit is still nursing 99% of the time... and for very short spurts at a time-- he's a snacker...which is very tiring, but we're managing :) He does however LOVE the little teething cookies... he gets soooo excited when I get one of them out for him.

This week Dallas has had a huge project--he's been sanding down the Mako and he has just started to paint it. We're hoping to sell it next week so we can get the engines for our "new" boat--- I'll put some more stuff up about this soon-- we're very excited!

Joss enjoys our daily trips to the beach. Here he is playing with his little fins on :) He is soo cute swimming with these on. He also loves to "go up high" as shown below. He's starting to jump off our shoulders and have us throw him in the water. Daddy is getting excited about this, but I have to keep a close check on him to make sure he doesn't get too carried away :)

A few of the funny things Joss is doing right now:

-When he's playing with his toys and Emit tries to play with him and doesn' quite play the "right" way Joss starts saying "Hey, Sop it Emit" (Stop it Emit). If Emit doesn't "Sop" right away Joss starts getting worked up and starts jumping up and down saying it over and over and faster :) It's so funny, but we're working on sharing right now too.

-He has started singing a lot of his little songs lately. He can sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" from beginning to end (so sweet). He knows about 2/3 of the alphabet (he skips the middle around L thru P everytime). He sings and dances to his "Mighty Machines" show. We're working on "Jesus Loves Me".

-We've been working on a potty training (he's got a little potty 'train' sticker chart now that he likes). He hasn't quite got the hang of it, but he's really good at telling us "Got stinky on" and running to his changing table. We're getting closer.

-He goes out to find lizards almost everyday. He'll go out in the yard and start saying "here izard, izard....'ome out..play you" (Here, Lizard, Lizard. Come out so I can play with you!') The other day Dallas was playing with one with him and the lizard broke his tail off so he could get away. Well Joss was still quite happy to play with the tail (eeeeeewwwwwwww-- I know). He kept throwing it down and acting like he was catching it again. Shortly after this he learned the word "Gross" from me!

-CC & Poppy are working on a playground at their place for the boys to have when we go and visit. The other day on Skype they showed Joss a picture of the slide and set they were building. Lately he hasn't wanted to play on any slides except "That Green Slide". And when I told him we will get to play on that one when we go on the airplane and fly over there soon he started telling me "fly blue plane to THAT green slide". He very excited about his surprise :)

This is why little boys can't run around naked for too long :) and then they start playing with it. Luckily Emit's skin is starting to clear up and is almost all better. He seems to be feeling much better too.

That's all for now...we're excited to see some of you very soon :) Island Fever is setting in and we're looking forward to our time off the rock!
