6 months

Joseph was 6 months old on June 10! He weighed 18 lbs 12 oz and was 26.5 inches long. He was in the 70% for height, 75% for weight and his head circumference was still in the 90%! So not only is he cute and funny, he is smart too! He wants so badly to be able to move! He is sitting up better and better and has mastered rolling from his back to his tummy. He eats 6-7oz of formula every 4 hours and he eats solid food for lunch and dinner. He was moved to the Creepers room at daycare and saw the other kids eating a lunch meal and decided he needed one too! He still doesn't sleep consistently, so I guess I will not ever get a full nights sleep again, but when I wake up to that smiling face it is all worth it!

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!

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!
