Happy 1st Birthday, Joshua!

Happy birthday to our sweet boy! He dug right into the cake and got it all over. We were fotunate to have family help celebrate his first birthday with us. Definitely a year to remember and a lot to look forward to in the next year.

Joshua's Baptism

Joshua was baptized on Father's Day. My brother and sister are his godparents. We were blessed to share this special time with most of our family including both sets of grandparents. Here are a bunch of pictures of everyone.

Joshua's happenings

Most of my posts are about Jessi's happenings. Joshua is here and is growing up so fast! It's almost like he skipped being a baby. Here he is enjoying a book during tummy time.

Joshua - Week 3

Joshua & I are enjoying our time together. Here are a couple recent pictures.

Joshua - Week 2

Joshua is thriving. In fact he has already gained back his birth weight plus six ounces. Our little guy is 9 lbs 10 oz and 21.5 inches long! He already holds his head up briefly, too. Amazingly, he ignores the noise made by his big sister and the dogs.


He met his Grandpa Sus and Grandma Lipa this past weekend. Joey's mom is helping me out this week and spending lots of time with her newest grandson.



Ellee has taken a big interest in Joshua and is always close by.

Joshua - Week 1

Here are some more photos from Joshua's first week with us. He is a big eater and sleeper. Two days after leaving the hospital he had already put on two ounces of weight. We think he looks a lot like Jessica as a baby. I'll have to try to find similar pictures to post.

Jessica has surprised us and shown a lot of interest in her little brother. Today she even asked to hold him. She is getting better at waiting for "my turn", so she understands that she has to share mommy & daddy.

Joshua and I have enjoyed a couple days to ourselves. They have been beautiful days so we even ventured outside for walks with the dogs.
