Living Life and Loving It

These passed 2 weeks have been fun. Joseph is finally starting to grow out of his colicky stage and is getting more and more interactive. He loves to smile and coo and we have little "conversations" all day long. He enjoys when we ask him questions and he tries to answer them with a "Ahhh--OO". I know he is my child and I'm very bias but I think he is very smart and social. He gets bored easily so we rotate the toys on his gym and in his crib each day. But, he never gets tired on Ernie! Poor little guy has his first cold. We went to the doctors today because it's been a week now, but it's just a stubborn cold, nothing more. He's mostly fussy I think because he wants to play and because of all the sniveling he can't lay flat under his gym mat. The doctor says he should be better in another few days.

Here are some of the latest pics from the last few weeks. This is a long post so be sure to scroll all the way down.

Having a ball laughing a Mama. Field goal?!

We just can't get over how he sticks out his tongue at us when he smiles!

Hanging out with Uncle Daniel. Joseph loved Daniel so much. They had fun walking around the Seminary together. Daniel has mastered the "bounce walk" as we call it for colic hour (between 5 and 7pm). Joseph even hung out with Daniel while Jason and I went for a much needed drink together!

Here we are. Joseph is 10 weeks old in this picture. He looks a little concerned, don't ya think? Like my hair? I chopped it short because the little man likes to grab at it and he has such a tight grip.

Hanging out with Daddy on Friday afternoon. Joseph loves to study Jason's face.

He's getting so strong now. He can lift his whole upper body off the floor and he's rolled over 3-4 times now. He gets so scared when he rolls though... I think he get disoriented! It's really adorable.

Having a ball on his changing table just before the bath.

In the sling on a Sunday afternoon picnic as a family. Joseph loved looking up at the trees. This park is at a lovely lake right near our church. It's so great that spring is finally here and we can spend more family time outside. The sling is awsome! It's a great warm place for Joseph to nap and rest while we are out and about. He's loves being so snuggled up to me. We call it his "Little Home". I highly recommend a sling for all new moms. Mine gets both Joseph and I through the day.

Snuggled up and so precious.

Curious face... "what is that camera thing that's always attached to you Mama?"

Hanging out watching the Red Sox with Daddy. Joseph is already a huge fan... he actually watches the game! But only for a few minutes, he's not quite old enough for TV.

More to come soon! ...

And only 4 more weeks until we head to the northeast for the month of June!
