Birth Announcement!

Better late than never... Josh's birth announcement finally came in!

Weekend Fun

We had a fun weekend! Josh was a hit at an orthopaedic party and chilled on a rooftop overlooking the city... then we met up with (Great!) Uncle Cliff and Aunt Sue. Cliff could give Mary Poppins a run for her money!







Josh listened very intently and enjoyed reading "Yertle the Turtle" with Daddy.

Unfortunately this video could not be rotated...

Hi MomMom!

Great-Grandparents Visit

Josh is getting to be a chunker. Not really, but he's now up to 10lbs 2oz!!! That puts him at 50% in weight but he's only 10% in length. But mom thinks the nurse mismeasured.

We had a great visit from Great-Grandpa Stan and Great-Grandma Helene.

GG Stan is a natural with babies. They call him the "Baby Whisperer".

Three generations share a wonderful time.

Cousin Julie and Josh get some QT.

Josh hams it up for the camera.

When you're this cute you don't have to do much.

Visiting Pittsburgh and Father's Day

Josh was very agreeable during his first lengthy car ride this weekend. We braved a 6 hour drive to Pittsburgh. He saved his crying for after the car ride.

Josh had a cute Father's Day outfit that Aunt Bess had sent.

Baby Shower

Josh was super spoiled at a lovely shower last week at the home of Nancy Baxter with co-hosts Sue Acheson, D'Arcy DiSpirito, and Carolyn Fitzgerald. Friends traveled from as far as the shore, Maryland, and even Massachusetts to meet the little guy! Every last detail was perfect!

Check out the cute invitation. The fabulous - and very generous - hosts -- Nancy, D'Arcy, Sue and Carolyn. Some of the loot! The table centerpieces were a whole new jungle of stuffed animals for Josh to play with.

The little guy loved cuddling with Laurie!

Andrea is lining up potential babysitters...

Josh was tuckered out by the end of the day.

Thanks to everyone for their generosity!

It's TOO hot!

Things have been kind of lazy around here lately because it is TOO HOT to do anything!!




Again, not doing much in these videos, except looking cute!

Lively Josh

This video is a little dark but Josh is very lively here. He's been such a nice boy so far.

First Bath

Today Josh had his first bath.

He seemed to enjoy it for the first 4 minutes.

He likes having both mom and dad there to help him.


Josh and Dad chill out after a long day.

Josh hangs out with Aunt Courtney.

First Boys Only Adventure Out

We had a great weekend. Josh was very pleasant most of the weekend, although he did have a very active Friday night. I guess he got bad dreams from watch No Country for Old Men. Don't worry, he didn't really watch the movie (at least not the gory parts).

The first "boys only" adventure took place on Saturday morning. Joshua and dad went to run a few errands and to give mom a chance to sleep in. We got our haircut, visited Target for the first time (got a new outfit) and went to Panera Bread for coffee and a bagel. It was quite an adventure and Josh was happy the whole time.

Sunday we got some cool pictures by the rhodos in our front yard.

Josh loves listening to Andrea's voice and to hear all her stories.
