Picture day!!

My friend Jessica came over a few weeks ago to take pictures of Josh for his first birthday. We were having unusually nice weather so we decided to skip the "studio shots" and just head outside for some pics of him playing. Josh had a ton of fun because it was his first real time playing outside and Jess got a ton of cute photos of him. If any of you are in MI you should check her out! http://www.jessicaericsonphotography.com/Photography/Welcome.html

To see all of the photos, click on the album on the right side labled "1 year photos"

more teeth!

look at how many teeth I have now!!

yummy avacado

This is what happens when a baby feeds himself avacado!

Look who's walking!

Josh has been walking for about a week or so now. He's still a little wobbly (and looks like Frankenstein) but he's doing better everyday!

most annoying toy ever!!

Just wanted to thank grandma L again for this lovely, quiet toy... Josh loves it and has become very good at pressing the buttons to play the sounds.

Choo Choo

Josh loves the train he received for his b-day. It drives around, plays music and has balls that rotate out the top. Of course sometimes he likes to "help" drive it around and I often find random toys shoved in with the balls, but at least he's having fun!

You can eat cake!!

Here are some photos of Josh and his cake. I couldn't decide what to make for him since he's too little to really be interested in much. I saw a photo of a similar cake so I decided to do the blocks along with all of Josh's favorite things (our 2 cats, a ball, his stuff monkey, a wooden kitchen spoon -he loves to play with these-, his raspberry teether and the wooden car grandpa made)

He wasn't real sure what he was supposed to do with the cake

He really just wanted to play with the car (which he pushed around while making little car noises!)

So daddy helped out and gave him a bite

He wasn't real sure what he thought of it. And now he wanted to play with the little wooden spoon.

Daddy helped him with another bite

Ah, now I get it!

mow mow mow your lawn....

Josh received this push mower for Christmas but hasn't really been able to use it. It's not designed to be supportive and help him walk, he has to be able to walk on his own in order to push it. He's walking better and better every day (and he's so proud of himself!!) and today I caught him pushing the mower around for the first time.

(Yeah, that one hurt. He cried for a few minutes and now has a little bruise next to his eye. Poor guy)

First Haircut

Joshy got his first haircut last night. He's needed it for awhile, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. He's getting his 1 year pictures taken tomorrow so I decided it was time we trim him up a little. He didn't need very much taken off, just straighten up the edges a little. He looks much better now! :)

I know some of you are waiting for b-day and cake photos, I didn't have my camera out so I'm waiting to get the photos from the rest of the family, I'll post them as soon as I get them!!
