6 Months

We took Josh to the pediatrician last night for his 6 month appointment. He is up to 15 pounds, 9.9 ounces (25th percentile) and 26.5 inches (50th percentile).

Here are a few photos of Josh taken on Sunday - his official 6 month birthday.

I think it's adorable how he's starting to wrinkle up his nose.


Work hard, play hard.


He is always sucking on that lower lip.

Wow, people are right...

As I start to think about the fact that my baby is almost 6 months old, I can't help but realize just how right people are. Almost every day since I've had Josh, at least one person has told me "Enjoy this, it goes so fast". And while I knew they were right each time I heard that, recognizing what a blur the last 6 months have been really sends that message home. As much as I delight in Josh's spazziness and increased mobility, (not to mention how much I adore the sleeping through the night thing!) it's kind of sad that he'll never be that little baby again that he once was.

Anyway, I'll stop whining. Here are a couple recent pics of my little darling.


Here he is in a rare moment of sitting. He can't stand, but thinks he should - sitting is for the weak!


Count the chins!


We're still working with Matt on how to appropriately wear pants, but Josh thought the pants on his head were pretty funny.

Humor us

Forgive us for getting way too much enjoyment out of our dog.  Until Josh came along, Otis was the absolute center of our world, and we realize what a sad statement that is.  

Anyway, welcome to our blog.  Our main goal here is to occasionally update on our boy's progress and post a cute photo or two.  We wish we could live close to everyone, but at least this way we can share Josh.
