Kiddie Pool JUST for Josiah ~ and a tour of the big pool!

Josiah in his very own blow-up kiddie pool for the very 1st time (along with big sister, Miranda, for support). He absolutely LOVED the chance to splash and kick around! We filled it with warm tap water from the house faucets to help keep the little guy warm!

The picture to the left was taken the same day of Josiah in our larger pool (4' deep, 18' across). Of course, his big sisters were standing just outside the view of the camera!

Happy Boy!

Mr Josiah, taking a break from playing to smile for the camera in May 2007.

Starting fresh with updates....

I've been so behind in updating my blogs that I've decided to just start fresh from the present with updates. I'll update previous happenings and events as time allows. I kept procrastinating posting updates because I was so far behind....just waiting for time to catch up, and finally decided that I'll just start fresh!

Jump! Jump! Jump!

Josiah decided he finally likes his "Johnny Jump-Up". Our boy will jump in it until his legs and body are exhausted! All three of his older sisters loved thd "Johnny Jump-Up" when they were infants, so it is very pleasing to see him finally decide it was fun for him!

Josiah's 1st foods

May 28th, 2007 (almost 7.5mos old): My blue eyed boy anxiously (?!??!?) awaiting his first attempt at solid foods. We discovered (thru research) that avocado typically make an excellent first food for baby ~ ~ however, our little man wasn't that impressed. Next time, I think I will prepare it finer, since I'm thinking that the texture might part of his dislike for it, considering it does have a fairly bland flavor.

June 5th, 2007 (a solid 7.5mos old): Here is a sweet picture of the boy tasting (baby) rice cereal for the first time. From the look on his face, I'm sure you can tell it wasn't very tasty to him, no matter how we prepared it. However, just a few days later on, he decided he truly did like it!
