Happy Halloween!

Joshua was a chili pepper. The costume was a little tight around his tummy and it was really hot so we didn't fasten him all the way in.

11 weeks

Joshua is 11 weeks old today.

He's been doing much better with the sleeping and actually went 6 hours a couple nights. He is interacting with us much more and will watch us as we move around the room. When Brian gets home from work, Joshua is usually having his late meal and he'll stop eating to smile and interact with Brian. It's really sweet. He likes putting his hand to his mouth and sucks on it. He doesn't like his carseat which makes going anywhere not fun.

8 weeks


Joshua is 8 weeks old today. He had his two month checkup this morning. He now weighs 13lbs, 8oz and is 22 inches long. That puts him in the 91st percentile for weight and 23rd percentile for length. He's like the little teapot - short and stout! He also had his first round of immunizations today. He did great and has spent the afternoon sleeping.




He has been smiling a lot more. It's hard to get the camera ready in time to catch him in the act.




He is also getting a lot better at holding his head up. He has held himself up on his forearms a couple times even.










He spent his first extended amount of time in his swing the other day. He even took a nap there.

I started back at work this week. I took him with me to the office on Monday and he was really good. I carried him around in the front carrier and he took a couple naps there. We were at the office for 4 hours. Then yesterday Brian was at home with him for a few hours while I went into the office. I was a little nervous cause he hasn't been very good about eating from a bottle, but he did a good job yesterday and ate 7 oz while I was gone.

He's becoming a lot more alert and interactive which makes this whole experience a lot easier and more enjoyable. Those smiles make it all worth it!

7 weeks



Joshua is 7 weeks, 2 days today. He has found his tongue in his mouth and makes funny faces. He's also discovered his hands and has been putting them in his mouth. He has started smiling but it's hard to capture in a picture cause it seems I never have the camera ready.

I start back at work part-time on Monday. I'm not sure how that's gonna go considering I'm still not getting much sleep at night.
