I've taken people's advice (mainly Ron's) and it seems easier for everything to be aggregated here.<br /><br />To update everyone, Joshua is now 10 months old! Hard to believe, but time is flying by. He crawls with ease, pulls himself up like a champ, and cruises the couch and table. He likes to pick up food and feed himself, though he still likes for us to give him the bottle, though we are trying to coax him into holding it himself.<br /><br />He also really likes cars/fire trucks/and anything red.<br /><br />Enjoy some pictures and a video of Joshua showing off his clapping skills.<br /><br /><div style="width:680px;height:380px;border:0px solid black;"><br /><div align=center><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oLBxTLEse1o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /></div></div><br /><br /><div style="width:680px;height:758px;border:2px solid black;"><div style="background-color: #B4B4B4;"><br /><p align=center><span style="color:white">Joshua and his (girl)friend, Mattie Jane:</span><br /></p><br /><div align=center><table style="width:194px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/jasonserota/JoshuaAndMattieJane?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCIba9cHC7Z6xVw&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ApHmqp4Uurc/ThecdDXlr7E/AAAAAAAAB54/OCnfxlWDSh0/s160-c/JoshuaAndMattieJane.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/jasonserota/JoshuaAndMattieJane?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCIba9cHC7Z6xVw&feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Joshua and Mattie Jane</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></div><br /><br /><div align=center><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="600" height="400" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fjasonserota%2Falbumid%2F5627138282357108657%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCIba9cHC7Z6xVw%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br /></div></div><br /></div></div><br /><div style="width:680px;height:758px;border:2px solid black;"><div style="background-color: #B4B4B4;"><br /><p align=center><span style="color:white">Some pictures from Today:</span><br /><br /><div align=center><table style="width:194px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" style="height:194px;background:url(https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/jasonserota/Joshua782011?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMyure3A-vHD8gE&feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fQQq1TX6KEY/Theb7UXZdWE/AAAAAAAAB5Y/bNdqKnzMtTs/s160-c/Joshua782011.jpg" width="160" height="160" style="margin:1px 0 0 4px;" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/jasonserota/Joshua782011?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMyure3A-vHD8gE&feat=embedwebsite" style="color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;">Joshua 7-8-2011</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><br /><div align=center><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="600" height="400" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fjasonserota%2Falbumid%2F5627137702804157793%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCMyure3A-vHD8gE%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></div><br /></div></div>Joshua Samuel Serotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13014095953723930417noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058446400214434447.post-4404327979975003312010-10-31T08:22:00.000-07:002010-10-31T08:36:05.418-07:00To the ZooJoshua had his first visit to the zoo last week for Halloween Day, going to the zoo with the family.

He also received his Jewish name, Chanan - after Jason's grandfather Herman- Shmuel - after Jason's Father, Steven. A lot of important people were able to come, even though it was on Tuesday, so Debra, me, and Joshua are so grateful for all those who could make it.<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MQO-GZ2NMKk/TJK8Yrok8vI/AAAAAAAABPE/icGN_QcpkhI/s1600/DSCN1319.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MQO-GZ2NMKk/TJK8Yrok8vI/AAAAAAAABPE/icGN_QcpkhI/s320/DSCN1319.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517679625698079474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MQO-GZ2NMKk/TJK8YWzOMjI/AAAAAAAABO8/130fuCa_9IA/s1600/DSCN1283.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MQO-GZ2NMKk/TJK8YWzOMjI/AAAAAAAABO8/130fuCa_9IA/s320/DSCN1283.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517679620105581106" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MQO-GZ2NMKk/TJK78JU5hdI/AAAAAAAABO0/o5TdYh9D6oY/s1600/DSCN1310.JPG"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MQO-GZ2NMKk/TJK77hyZaAI/AAAAAAAABOk/Cu3d0COT0LU/s1600/DSCN1307.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MQO-GZ2NMKk/TJK77hyZaAI/AAAAAAAABOk/Cu3d0COT0LU/s320/DSCN1307.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517679124838705154" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div>Joshua Samuel Serotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13014095953723930417noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058446400214434447.post-64461754929361341862010-09-10T11:59:00.000-07:002010-09-10T12:26:24.523-07:00Hello, World!After over 9 months and 26 hours, Joshua Samuel finally came into our lives.
