This Ain't Your Momma's Milk!

Joshua has been taking more of an interest in watching us eat so we decided it was time for him to try some rice cereal. We were hoping it would fill him up a bit more and maybe extend naptime... wishful thinking!! He was very tired when we decided to try this, but he was a great sport!

Let me get this straight... in or out?

I can do this... let me see that bowl...

This is really what I've been looking forward to?

Seriously?

Not bad for a first go round!

You Won't Find Me Lying Down on the Job!

To say that Joshua is a "curious" baby is a bit of an understatement... he wants to be a part of anything and everything that is going on around him! And he is rarely if ever satisfied to be lying on his back and watching the action. Instead he insists on "sitting" or "standing" because - as you know - that just makes everything better!! We did get him a chair so he can sit up and he's really enjoying it! Here are some pictures of him in the midst of the action!

Saturday Morning Skype with Grandma and Grandpa!

Something new!

One, two, three... draw!

She got me!

I still like ladybug but only if we're eye-to-eye!

Scheming... and for my next trick...

I'll stand up by myself!! Pay no attention to the woman behind me...

Mmmmm...

You caught me! I still lay down from time to time!

I also get tired from time to time... but I NEVER EVER sleep!

Fingers, Toes, and Bare Bottoms... Oh My!

Just about everything Joshua can reach ends up in his mouth these days. This is particularly the case during bath time, which Joshua has finally started to take a liking to! Before his bath he has a few minutes of "naked time" on our bed, and he absolutely loves it!! Surprisingly enough this has only resulted in one accident, but we still keep our fingers crossed!

Well, they don't do anything else yet, so why not?!

Bare bottom!

Naked time!

Decisions...

The right one it is!

This naked stuff is great!

Finally!! Smiles at bath time!

He got his Dad's two best features... eyes and butt!!

This is going to be delicious!

Cute naked baby smiles!

Sink or Swim? ... Swim!

No rest for the weary!  Joshua had his first taste of the swimming pool last week.  He's enrolled in swim lessons for the next month.  He had a good time his first go round... but he wouldn't mind if the water were a few degrees warmer!

Fun in the water!

Lookin' good, right ladies?

That doesn't look like swimming!

Little warmer here!

That fish and I have one thing in common... we're both blue!

Don't let go!

That Dad made me get back in with him!!

February Movie Montage!

Here's a video of Joshua in action! Enjoy!

Four Months Old!!

February was an exciting month! Heather went back to work and Grandma and Grandpa came out to take care of Joshua. Everything went perfectly!! And now that Grandma and Grandpa have gone back home to Tucson we can all get ready for Mimi and Thomas' visit next week! Here are some photos from the last few weeks. Enjoy!
