Many of our pictures and videos get taken at the dinner table. We are all together and just enjoying our time as a family. One funny thing that Josh is doing these days is “Shake it off!” If you put something over his head, he will vigorously shake it to get it off. Funny boy.

Taking out our new bikes for a spin
Santa brought Allie a new, big-girl bike–complete with bell! And he brought Josh a trike with a handy strap to hold him on the seat and a handle so that mommy and daddy can push and steer. It has been so warm lately that the day after Christmas, we were able to get outside and …

Josh’s First Haircut

Like so many things we parents stress about, this was a total non-event. He didn’t even need the lollipop to stay calm. No crying at all and while he was wiggly, the haircut lady said she would take wiggly over screaming any day. Look at our handsome boy now!

We needed to baby-proof.

It was a quiet Sunday, October 16. Josh decided to start throwing things and then took some steps. Then he learned how to open up the fire place. And then he learned how to climb the stairs. It became very clear that baby-proofing was in order.

More cupcakes were had on Josh’s real birthday. And then we gave him presents to open as well, after a bath. You’ll see why. And a few pictures… Now, you see that picture of Allie helping to light the candle. The one where she looks all nice and sweet. Well, here’s what happened next. …

We spent the weekend before Josh’s birthday celebrating with friends. So he got birthday cupcakes a little bit early. Here’s how that turned out.

Monday. 10/10/11. He will be a year old. And I have so many pictures, videos, memories trapped in the camera and especially on my phone. This is the record of our family, the only real baby books they have and I haven’t been good about keeping up with it. But, moving on…. Here are some …

The fact that the 10 month and 9 month posts are back-to-back is not to be taken to mean that nothing happened this month. Quite the contrary–it was packed! Thankfully, school has started back up for Mommy and Daddy and perhaps that will mean a bit of calm. Yeah, right. We’ve been told calm is …
