Bess and John Weekend

Josh had wonderful visit from his Aunt Bess and Uncle John this weekend. Joshua loved playing with his stacking cups and blocks with Uncle John. Bess sang a nice version of Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Joshua, thanks to the ESPN connection, got to attend his first "boombacca" (basketball) game on Sat night--and what a way to start!! A classic Philadelphia Big 5 rivalry game of UPENN vs St. Joe's at the Palestra. Josh loved listening to the sounds of the game and watching the crowd.

Joshua gets to meet the cat. They played very nice.

On Sunday, Joshua got to meet his first doggy--Rocco--at the DiSpirito's. He tried so hard to chase after Rocco, but Josh has yet to master the forward crawling motion. Even so, the two boys has a great time playing.

Little Crawler

Joshua is starting to crawl, kinda. He can army crawl backward. This makes seeing where he's going a little problematic. He managed to get himself stuck under the couch and under the chair. But he loves to travel around and see new things.

Joshua learns a new vowel with his "o-face." Ralph Furley would be proud.

Joshua supports the Eagles in the playoff run. E-A-G-L-E-S.

Happy New Year!

Lots of family came to visit for the New Year!

Josh was in Heaven with all the attention, hugs, and kisses.

Time with Aunt Bess was super fun!

"Vandy, Vandy, Oh hell yes!" -- Josh cheered on Vandy for their 1st Bowl win in... well, almost forever!


(our condolences to Aunt Courtney and her BC Eagles).

Mommy loves her SuperBaby.

If you look very closely you can see a tooth!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Josh had a great time meeting Santa this weekend. Josh shared his wishlist:

1. More milk

2. more Mommy and Daddy time

3. lots of bananas

All bundled up for a walk outside. It's nice to get some fresh air, especially after being sick for a few days.

Playtime with Grandma

"This is the last time I try to feed myself!"

"Dad, can't we go back to Florida where its warm!!" This hat from G-Grandma is keeps Josh warm on the cold mornings on the way to daycare.

Andy would like to thank Bess for teaching Josh a new trick. He does it all the time when eating now. (I can't wait to teach Bess' kids the same thing!!, so she can clean up the mess--j/k)
