Cutie Man

MomMom and PopPop love this little elf.

Joshy celebrates his first Chanukah. He helped dad light the candles and loves his new gym suit.

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)

Tropical Turkey Day!!!

Josh spent his first Thanksgiving in the Florida Keys helping to celebrate Great-Grandpa's 80th birthday. We may have given him the wrong impression -- how often is it 80 degrees and sunny for Thanksgiving?!! But he still had his sweet potatoes. In fact, he's the only one who's happy he gained weight over the holidays...

Josh sports his family vaca t-shirt as grandpa helps him "walk".

Josh and all his "ladies".

Visit from Sarah

What a wonderful weekend with Sarah. She took to Joshua right away--and he took to her immediately. We had a very relaxing weekend and had lots of Joshua time.

Sarah brought Josh an adorable Paddington Bear. Here Josh is trying to figure out how he can fit it into his mouth...

Josh is lookin' so good in his Puma suit.


Yikes, wild hair, wild hair.

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Joshua!

Today is Josh's "half birthday"! We can't believe how quickly time is flying. Six months ago we met our little guy for the first time, a tiny, wrinkly, little thing; now he is an active, wriggly, boisterous little man! He has developed very specific tastes.

He likes sweet potatoes, bath time (or any opportunity to be "NakedBoy", Pink Hippo, Hootie (his Owl), mommy, daddy, walks in the stroller, and singing "Old MacDonald". He enjoys putting his foot in his mouth (literally).

He dislikes peaches and bananas, vitamins, changing clothes, and getting strapped into his carseat.

He has learned how to sit on his own, roll over, hold his bottle (almost), and squalk for attention.
