Four Months

Joshua turned 4 months.
He is so alert and playful. Being able to spend my days playing with him is such a great gift.
He smiles most of the time, especially when his sisters are paying attention to him.
He has had a few firsts this month.
His first full out giggle was when Mike was tickling his toes.
He likes to sit in his bumbo.
He loves to eat his hands.
He is sleeping mostly through the night (he likes to call me at 4am).
He has grown 4 pounds and 4 1/2 inches in 2 months. This is simply unheard of in our family. We LOVE IT, except he is growing right out of all his cute clothes.

It was love at first sight with his cars blanket that Grandma Kelbert made for him before he was born. I found it in a drawer, gave it to him and it was an instant connection. He doesn't love his pacifier, but it will temporarily calm him down.



He has put on a few pounds, so now he loves his bath and is not cold!

We took the kids to the pool this last weekend and Joshua went in. Mike was excited to do this, even though Walmart did not have swim diapers.
Josh loved it, didn't cry once.





This last picture describes Josh's life. Fun, filled with lots of love from many sources!

I am updating some of my picture frames at home. I just can't choose which pictures to put in the frames so I wanted to get the opinion of my friends and family as to which pictures to choose. Please leave a comment as to which ones you all like. These were all pictures taken in 2010.
PS: I'll be using them all in B & W

Contagious

Morgan and Nicole were lucky enough to get the stomach flu after Christmas.
So...
We still felt they may be contagious on New Year's Eve.
Much to the dismay of our girls we had to stay in and miss our annual party.
There were a few tears shed, but we tried to make the most of it.
Nicole even made a New Year's hat for Joshua (see pic)



Happy 2010 everyone.
