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!

Bright and oh, so blue!

Here is Josiah treating me (mommy) to his beautiful smile before I left for my first day back to work. I work one day a week and Josiah stays home with daddy on that day. It seems they are both really enjoying their time together while I enjoy a day at a job I enjoy! It's so fun to see how much closer daddy and Josiah have become since I've started back to work....they are great buddies now!

A little "pre-dinner" fun at our house!

The girls and I had a little fun wtih the boy while making dinner one night! He was actually having a good time just hanging out in the pot!

Josiah is just such a welcome, wonderful addition to our family! We are so lucky to have him in our lives and his smile brings such joy to each one of us!

Josiah and his wonderful BIG sisters!!

A rare photo of all four of them in one place at the same time! Of course, you can probably tell that mom made them all stand still for a few moments for this picture!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub....Josiah & Mommy In The Tub!
