Visitors

This past weekend Belva and my Mom stopped by to visit on their way to Alabama. Here are a few photos that we took:

Mom laughing after Josh cut the cheese (oh, did I say that. Please excuse me.)


Belva laughing hysterically after Josh decided to poop in her hands (he did have a diaper on though, don't worry).


You guessed it.. we're all laughing from Josh unloading.


The past month Josh has had several visitors. Here are a few:
Zach Garland, the pastor's son and a friend from our new church, holding Josh.


Mary Busman, a dear friend who I used to teach with, holding Josh.


Me and Josh at Mary's house..


Nan, best friend from college and her husband, Pete Whitney on a recent visit to GA.

2 months old

My how time flies... that's what everyone says and boy do I feel this is true. It's been a while since I've posted a blog. I've meant to several times, but for some reason I get preoccupied with Josh (of course!), or when he's sleeping, household chores.

Today he had his two month visit to the doctor. He measured in at 23.5 inches long (66%), 11.9 lbs (46%), and has a head circumference of 40-4 (57%). All good stats from what the doctor and nurse say. The doctor asked what he's been eating and we said breastmilk. Then, he called Josh a tank. Pretty funny considering last time he was underweight compared to other babies his age and height. Before the visit, Jason and I were both fearful for our little one regarding his shots, but we prayed for him and everything went well. He got four immunizations today- three were shots and one was an oral dosage. He did scream (to be expected) but not too much or not too long. Afterwards we came home, I feed him, and he went to sleep (lucky man). He awoke a little bit ago, ate some more, and is as happy as can be playing and talking to the farm animals in his bouncer.

Oooh!


Hmm.. what did the farmer say to the dell?


I love this thing!


I hope to put some catch-up pictures from the past two weeks on this weekend. So check in soon and you'll see some more pictures of this little guy. PS- if any of you guys out there (especially if you are far away) have a webcam, we would love to chat with you online sometime soon so let us know!

Josh's tour to SC

Josh and I took a quick trip to Columbia, SC to visit family and friends.
Here's what he did in the car; lots of sleeping!


Meredith, lifetime best friend, and Josh.

Lauren's daughter, Allie, meeting Josh for the first time.
They're not sure what to think of this set-up.

Oh my goodness!

Easter Weekend

A family photo.

Josh looks the best in this picture. How cute, just like Daddy!

Boy was it cold. Fortunately for Josh though, he had an adorable outfit to wear. His Bebe gave him this beaver outfit.

Neighbors, Steve and Rachelle.


Friends from church, Jason, Jayde, and Bethany.

Fun times playing Donkey Konga


Catherine with her favorite dog, Gentoo (secretly she really doesn't like dogs that much).


Bethany holding Josh.


Bebe, Josh, Ace, and me.

Smiles!

Josh is 7 weeks old today and Gentoo is 3 years old tomorrow. Josh has been so much fun recently. He coo's and ga-ga's and best of all responds to me with lots of different facial expressions. He's adorable! See for yourself..

A trip to Pendelton, SC

Spring is here!


On Saturday we drove to Jason's Aunt Arelene and Uncle Charles' house where we also met his parents. This was Josh's first time to SC and a small Spring Break trip for Mommy and Daddy. The car ride was a perfect distance. Josh and Gentoo slept almost the entire trip. Both were great riders!

Here's some photos of their farm. Maybe when Josh gets older he'll get to ride on the tractor!




Doggy-time. Gentoo says, "I remember this place."
