First Hair Cut

Joshua has been looking a little long for a little while now. He needed a hair cut about 2 months ago but I really wanted to wait until he was a year! So his big day came on June 27th. After his bath we just sat him down on the kitchen counter and went to town. We cut off a lot in the back and a little bit on top. He did have some hair over his ears but as you can see he still has a small amount of hair. He sat really good for me and only tired a few times to get the clippers. I was surprised he didn't even cry. After his hair cut was done I look at him and thought he sure is growing up not such a baby any more.

Seven Years!!

Happy Anniversary to us!! Wow did seven years already come and go? Of course with this last year having Joshua it went even faster than ever. Matt is a wonderful husband in every way I can think of. He helps me around the house everyday. Ladies I don’t even have to ask he just does it! He provides for our family even if it means missing out on fun stuff sometimes. He never complains about anything he just does what needs to be done and keeps on going. I wish I had as much energy as he does and did it without complaining! He is a great dad to Joshua and a wonderful husband for me! I have loved the last seven years being married to Matt. When I hear people complain about being married I think how sad because I love it. Matt and I are meant to be, he brings the good out in me each and everyday. I probably drive him crazy off and on thru out the week but he never says a word! He is a blast to be with and is my best friend. I can’t wait for the next seven years!!! I realized when doing this blog I need more pictures of just Matt and I. We don’t have a single picture I can find with just us besides our wedding pictures! And if you know the story on that you know we don’t have any that are not blurry!! Oh well the wedding pictures sure don’t make the marriage!

Happy Birthday Joshua!

Happy Birthday to our big boy! Wow, this year has went way too fast. I still remember the hospital and all the anticipation to have Joshua just a year ago. I remember the night before being so nervous about the c-section and what to expect. It all went so fast and I’m so thankful I was able to stay at home with him. Matt it such a hard worker and it’s because of him I can see Joshua grown and change everyday. Joshua has changed our lives so much and I’m sure he will continue to make us smile each and every day. Today we are having a small party for him with Jill, Brett, Zekke, Titus and Maddix! But on the Fourth of July he will have a big party with more family and friends! Joshy can do so many new things he is walking better all the time. He has several words he can say. He loves to see ceiling fans and point to them and say round round! He gets excited when he see’s other kids. He is so much fun and I can’t wait to see how he will change in another year.

Sleeping Thru The Night!

We finally are sleeping thru the night!! A weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Krayca’s set it all in motion. For the last 11 months Joshua has been getting up several times a night wanting to nurse. Two weekends ago he went to have his first night away from momma and learned he didn’t need his milk all night. My mom said he didn’t go to bed until midnight the first night. He then got up at 3am and by time she got the bottle ready he was back to sleep. The next night he went to bed late and same thing by time she got the bottle ready he was asleep. So the first night back home he woke up at 3am and no momma came, he went back to sleep within 5 minutes. Last night the little guy didn’t even wake up at all and slept from 8:45 to 6am then drank some milk and went back to sleep until 9am! He does like to sleep in most days and usually gets up somewhere between 8:45 and 9:30am. Hopefully he will keep this up! I have not yet got back to sleeping thru the night but I hope I will soon

11 months old!!

Joshua is now 11 months old! Hard to believe he will be one soon. We spent his big day with Grandma and Grandpa McKenzie and Great Grandma Nina! He also got to see his Aunt Linda earlier that weekend. I guess you can say this is a Memorial Day/11 month old blog.

Josh is growing up so much and is hard to keep up with. Still no walking but he loves for you to hold his hands as he drags you thru the house bent over! It won’t be long and we will have to drag him out of getting into stuff. He seems to say a new word about every two or three weeks right now he likes to say no! Sometimes it sounds like he can say hi or bye but it’s far and few. Last night he bent over in the bath tub and blew bubbles! How he figured that one out I will never know. He also got to go on his first Jeep ride and loved it! For a kid who hates his car seat we got him to stay in it for 30 min while we just cruised the town!!!

Our Memorial weekend was filled with family! We spent our time decorating the graves on Saturday and went to the Memorial Celebration on Monday. Don and Matt spent Saturday and Sunday in projects. I know Matt was happy to have the help! Thank you Don so much for all your help on this remodel!! We had a fun time like always and can’t wait to see them all again. I know Joshy sure loved all the extra attention.

Josh and his first ride in the Jeep!!!

Adam and Josh over Mother's Day! They sure look cute in red.

He loves his new pool we just go in the buff!

10 MONTHS OLD

It’s hard to believe we are almost a year old! This has been the fastest year of our lives. I’m glad he is a growing like a weed, but I would love for it all to slow down.

Joshua is still just as happy as ever and makes us smile more so everyday. His favorite word right now it ah oh. He loves to drop things and say,” ah oh”! He also loves to clap when we say “yea Josh”! He also claps when he doesn’t want to go to sleep; he knows it makes his mommy laugh!
First time with any kind of candy!!!

Yes, he is on our new carpet with his dirty little red body! It was all dry he had been like that for 30 min!

Licorice is one of his favorite things to eat. Looks like he takes after his mom and her sweet tooth! I gave him licorice to keep him happy in the car the other day and he sure had a good time with it. He had it all over him except his cloths! How he didn’t get it on his cloths I will never know. After that his little tongue was so red.

He is also trying to crawl more and more everyday. He gets on all fours then he rocks and falls down. He gets so upset he is not moving but he is so close to crawling!!

All in all he is blast to hang out with and we love to see him change everyday!

Laughing Baby!

Josh loves his little dog. Don't forget to stop the blog music to hear the audio in this clip.
