This morning during breakfast :)

a mom's eye view

I love babywearing. I love the closeness and comfort it provides for both Josh and I. I also love that it makes my life easier by freeing up my hands. I wear him around at some point almost everyday. This morning he was being fussy so I wrapped him and he fell sound asleep on my chest. Pictures can't convey just how precious he was, snuggled up, sleeping peacefully.

For those of you who don't know what I mean by babywearing, here is a picture of Josh in one of his wraps. I have several and can wear him on my front, against my chest, or on my back. He loves them (and often falls asleep in them) and I find them really handy when he's fussy or wants to be held and I'm in the middle of something and need my hands free.

big teeth!

I was trying to get some pics of all of Josh's teeth (he has 4 on the bottom and 2 on the top) and he kept making silly faces for me :)

bath time!

Thank you!!

Josh wanted to say thank you to grandma and grandpa L for the awesome Valentines day present! It's a toy cell phone that rings and plays various messages. The coolest part though is that you can record things on it, so when he presses the play button, he gets a message from his grandma and grandpa :) Thanks!!

(please excuse the excess drool, he's teething again...)

kitty toys

Josh found the drawer where we keep all the fun kitty toys (like feathers on strings) and has been pulling them all out and dragging them around the house. The cats are excited that their toys are out, but not very happy when they realize it's the baby that has them :) I've put most of them away, but there is still one that he likes to play with. He's figured out that he's supposed to wave it around and say "kitty kitty" :)

baby hair

I just love morning baby hair!

box driving part 2

We have a big fabric box for putting Josh's toys in and last night, he was "driving" it around the living room!
(there were so many good pics, I did this in 2 parts because they were easier to upload)
