2008-07-08T16:45:00.000-04:00

Trip to the Zoo on July 1st

I'm a Big Brother

2008-06-25T15:14:00.002-04:00

Just a few days ago I became a big brother! I'm very excited and try to help out. I bring mommy new diapers to help change my little brother. I give him food, though not so much since daddy says that Joseph is a baby now and needs baby food.

Happy mother's day

Mommy has been keep busy keeping up with me and going back to work and so apologizes for not posting more pictures regularly.

These are pictures eating my cake, opening presents, starting to play with a present before its fully opened and taking an intermission from opening presents to play with my new toy.

Happy 4th of July

2007-07-13T23:03:00.000-04:00

Even though I was not feeling 100%, mommy and daddy took me to see about 15 minutes of the fireworks at Mt. Trashmore. We went to a local middle school and watched...they said it wasn't as noisy, but as you can see it was a great view.

I really enjoyed them and watched almost the whole time (with the exception of the pictures being taken).

My Cold

2007-07-09T23:44:00.000-04:00

Well, I had a little cold. I threw up some and had loose stool. Then, I gave the cold to Mommy and Daddy. See, I've learned to share well ahead of my when the so called "experts" say is average. I'm all well now, though.

I like to crawl around everywhere. I also like to laugh, and to explore. I've learned to give high-5s; which I like. I also like to clap.

The doctor says I can have all foods now (waiting 3 days to introduce each new food) except milk, peanuts, and seafood. Yey. I am cruising and talking. I want mommy so I have to go for now.

(translation by mommy)
I have got a couple of my top teeth now (they came in yesterday). I am also crawling up a storm. Mommy and daddy have had to child proof a lot now including a few gates around the family room. I like to go after electrical and phone cords and so mommy and daddy have quite a time trying to keep me away from them. I am about 17 lbs now and growing.

My First Easter

2007-04-24T23:47:00.001-04:00

I had turkey and rice baby food for Easter dinner. After the family patched eggs, I decided to go after one or two. I slap my hand down when I want more as you can see in this picture.

On an Easter Egg Hunt. First mommy boiled them, then we colored them. .

On my trip to church for Easter all dressed up in my outfit. My bowtie matches mommy's dress and daddy's tie.

After patching eggs, hanging in front of me is the winning egg. It was daddy's egg.

First REAL snow

2007-04-24T23:44:00.000-04:00

There was an earlier post of my first snow but many laughed asking where the snow was. It was there, it just didn't stick and was hard to see. This time the snow stuck. Daddy toook me to play in it. It happened Easter Saturday.

Mommy Apologizes

2007-04-24T22:28:00.000-04:00

Mommy is getting really bad at keeping the blog up to date. Joshua is growing and growing. He is "precrawling" in that he gets up onhis knees and swings his body and sometimes will slowly put one knee forward...but not fully crawling. Anyday now though. He is also standing with us supporting him for balance (or he can hold onto a piece of furniture). He eats all sorts of food including his favorites (bitter bite cookies and zweibeck toast). He also eats veggies, fruits, chicken, turkey and he loves nutrolls and peirogis.

At Mass, Fr Steve at Star or the Sea (we go there for daily Mass sometimes) saves a piece of the host that he holds up for him. He receives usually twice a week and is really well behaved. Above will be posted some more recent pictures including mommy baby pictures from the Picture People linked here.

Eating Solids

2007-02-18T12:21:00.000-05:00

I now am looking forward to solid foods. I eat some baby cereal mixed with breastmilk twice a day now (about 2oz). Mommy has to feed me every last drop and then I'm sad when there is no more. I'm really good at opening my mouth for the spoon.

Daddy's Birthday

2007-02-14T21:15:00.000-05:00

2007-02-02T12:57:00.000-05:00

As you can see I'm learning to crawl. The pic of me on the couch, mommy had sat me upright and found me crawling towards the edge. No more chairs for me.
