He's a Fish!

We took Joseph swimming for the first time in early June and he LOVED it! He kicked back in his floatie and was happy as could be. We have been swimming several times over the summer and he kicks and splashes in the water. I have a feeling we will be taking swimming lessons at an early age.

5 Months

Joseph was 5 months old on May 10! He weighs about 17 pounds! He eats 6 oz every four hours and eats solid food in the evening! He loves applesauce and pears. He still is an inconsistent sleeper, but despite that he is a happy baby! Unfortunately he has a mild ear infection, but takes his bubble gum pink medicine, aka amoxicillin (? spelling) like a champ! He is starting to try to sit up and is trying to roll over from his back to his tummy!

Joseph's Baptism

Joseph was Baptized on May 8, 2011, Mother's Day. It was wonderful. Joseph, we discovered later that afternoon, was sick. Despite the fact that he did not feel good, he was a trooper. He has wonderful Godparents, Dottie Powell and Brian Fazier, who will spoil him rotten. Thank you to everyone who came and shared that day with us. It was truly special!

Eating apples and rice cereal take 1

This is a video of the first time Joseph had solid food...it did not go over too well.

Easter Day

We enjoyed a relaxing day at Aunt Mae's and Honey even got to feed Joseph his afternoon bottle!

Easter Weekend

Joseph's first Easter was a lot of fun! On Saturday we went to an RC Fly in with DJ and Joseph got to sport the cute hat that DJ got for him! Then on Easter morning Joseph woke up to a brand new exersaucer! He has reached a stage where all he wants to do is jump and at 16 lbs I can only hold him for so long! So now he can jump until his heart is content!

Four Months Old

We went for Joseph's 4 month check up and he is doing great! He is 26 inches long, weighs 16 pounds and has a head circumfrence in the 90th percentile. He eats 5-6 oz every four hours while awake. We also started giving him solid food. He has had apples, bananas and pears. So far he likes them all. He does NOT like rice cereal mixed in with the fruit. He is sleeping about the same, going to bed at 10:30 and waking up around 4:30. His personality is starting to really show and I think we are in for a lot of fun!
