2 Months Sept 25th

2 Months old

Joshua had a Dr. apt on the 25th for his 2 month check up and some shots... He did prety good with the shots. Cried a bit but then just talked in a VERY loud voice. It was sad!

He is in the high end percent for his growth. :-) Weighing in a 14.6 lbs (5 lbs gained from birth) and is 24 inches long now. Such a big boy!!!

He's cooing and talking alot now. I just love it! He sleeps at night about 4-6 hours depending on how hungry he is and what kind of day he had. :-)

He loves to hear daddy's voice on the phone during the day when hes a work. It cracks me up!

Teething baby is not so fun.

I was in denial for a while but its true... my son has decided he has to be ahead of the game when it comes to doings things. Over a week ago someone told me "Oh I feel something in his gums ya think he is teething!" nahhhhhh of COURSE not! Hes to young...

Well, sure enough I finally realized that yup he for sure is! Poor baby! He does NOT feel good and is just restless and fussy. Which is totally not normal for Joshua! He is a VERY happy. I'm hoping as much as I can't believe its already happening, that they come thru the rest of the way FAST and he gets some relief! I'm very thankfull for teething gel!

Did I tell you he's over 14 lbs now? Eck!

And rolls over!

Happenings

It's been pretty busy around here! But we've been having lots of fun for sure!!!

Joshua had his first bottle of pumped milk the other night. I want to make sure
he can take a bottle of milk so when we leave him with someone he will take it! And
he did an awesome job of it! LOL And then nursed just fine later. He loves his food!! :-D


Visiting with Nina, my husbands grandmother. We just found out she has Stage 3 Lung cancer. She had it and beat it over 4 years ago so we are once again praying that she beats this and stays healthy while going thru chemo and everything!


Hanging out with Mr. Newton! An elder in our church who leads one of our bible studies. They have 8 children, all grown up now, so he has the baby touch for sure! :-D

Sammy's 10th birthday! He was born one day shy of 9/9/99!!!

Can't believe hes 10 already! Makes me feel old!

Sleeping for Aunt Abby!

Bro-n-law and Brother... both named Nathan... Building some pretty cool Lego!

Aunt Hannah using Mommies Sling that Aunt Tasha made! Love it! Snuggle baby!!

Abby and Hannah are staying with us a few days and we decided to head to the bowling alley for some fun! After hitting up one bowling alley that was packed, going to a Krispie Kreme for some donuts and coffee (in which I split my coffee and the guy proceeded to tell me to "try not to spill this one" after giving me another cup!" LOL), finding out that the putt putt course was to wet to putt putt, we found another bowling alley that had lanes open! So we had some fun trying to bowl! :-D

Aunt Bekah with Joshua!

Helping Abby out.... we don't bowl very good! LOL Our scores were pretty sad... hehe

The girls laughing it up after both of them got strikes! Woohoo!

Mad rush...

Well today has been busy indeed!


This evening we are hosting our bible study in our home. And my house was in need of some loving care...




So I put the little guy to sleep and set about cleaning. My kitchen hasn't been thoroughly cleaned in quite awhile. I cleaned it top to bottom till it was sparkling! Started some brownies for this evenings dessert to go with coffee and set about to declutter some other areas of the house.


I got alot done before I came across this little cute guy just wanting to be paid attention to! I LOVE IT! He is such a sweet darling and I could just play with him all day! He was in such a good mood when he woke up and he laughed and laughed at crazy mommy!

Don't ya just wanna eat him up!





After play time I put him on the ground on his tummy and set about folding a couch full of clean clothes... lots and lots of it. In the middle of all the folding I got a call from my husband that someone was coming in a few mins to come look at our house! YICKES! I was in PJS still (hey who wants to get all sweaty cleaning in nice clothes! LOL) and had laundry all over and had other things I needed to pick up... So I set about like a crazy woman getting everything ready for them to come look at the house.


And here I sit waiting for them to show up and my house is sparkling clean... well I kinda need to vacuum and mop still but other than that I am done cleaning! What might of takin me the rest of the day to get ready for this evenings bible study is done in a flash! LOL Kinda cracks me up how something can take such little time when ya just get it done! :-D


My house smells like a fresh burning candle, brownies, and clean clean clean!!!




Now once they have come and gone I can just play the rest of the day with my little guy!!!!! So fun!


UPDATE:
Mad rush was not needed... no show on the house showing cuase they saw and liked another house.. oh well! My house is clean! Share
