Spring Spaz

I cannot get over how active Josh is. He is so full of energy, it's incredible!


Testing out his new hat from Grandma Rapa.


A Texas tradition - posing in the Blue Bonnets. I would like to mention that we did not crazily veer off the side of the highway risking life and limb for these pictures - we stopped on the service road near a field like respectable folks.



Now that he can pull himself up, that is the only thing Josh is interested in. He's quite proud of this ability.




Josh has no fear. Here he is launching himself over the arm of the loveseat (no babies were harmed in the making of this photo - Matt had his foot the whole time)



Josh loves pulling himself up on the dining room chairs. Here he is playing the drums on top.


Helping Mommy cook. Josh took care of all the dirty dishes.

Easter

We enjoyed Josh's first Easter!

Checking out the Easter basket from Grandma Rapa.



Easter at the ranch.



The 3 of us



Josh was done with pictures at this point, but I wanted to show off his adorable Easter outfit courtesy of Grandma Rapa. In most of this string of pictures he was starting to cry/trying to crawl away, but he's sort of smiling in this one.



Grabbing another ball out of the basket from Mommy and Daddy.

"Busy, busy, busy, busy...

...there's so much to do." This is one of the many songs that Josh's activity table sings, and though I never feel like I need the reminder that there's so much to do, the "busy, busy, busy, busy" part certainly describes our little boy.


Waking up to a camera in your face must be pretty annoying, but it was adorable that he'd jumped himself to sleep in his jumperoo.



Thursday afternoon I was across the room putting together one of Josh's toys, and I glanced over to see how he was doing and HE WAS STANDING THERE!!! That's the first time he pulled himself up, I was so shocked. But I did have the presence of mind to grab the camera.



"I love juice!"



Caught raiding the pantry.
