Just another day

Hello,
I am writing to keep this page updated. I know some of you keep an eye out for updates and it gets pretty boring on this site. So here is a little update from our family.
Not to much I have to say. Its a slow January. A sloooooow, snoooooowy January!



We always look at Josh in amazement at how fast he is growing. I look at pictures of him and his face changes so often, I have to keep taking new updated pictures, so people can see him as he really looks.

Atleast he can "put his arms down"....


We are starting to practice the art of sitting up on his own. He has a very strong back and legs but he is too top heavy. (haha) When he turns his head or flails his arms to fast to grab something in front of him, he is tipping over to either side. It is a riot and I just laugh and kiss him everytime he tips to one side. I know I shouldn't laugh but I am laughing with love and pride. He is trying so hard everyday to be a big boy and he is growing up too fast!!
He HAS rolled over alot this week....incase no one has heard yet. I was cleaning his room with him in the crib and I turned to put his socks away and turned back to see him and he was on his tummy. (playing with the little piano crib toy) "What did you do?" I asked. He just had this big grin on his face and kicks his feet back up and down as fast as he can. (he looks like a seal balancing on his tummy and tetter tottering back and fourth. He will also kick so hard and fast, like he is trying to crawl away as fast as he can) Anway, He didn't know what happened!!
I must say that changing him has become a sport. He rolls from side to side trying to get away and holds on to his feet like they are the best thing to come down the pike. I shouldn't have gotten him toys for Christmas....he has two toys at the ends of his legs that he seems to love best right now. I just LOVE that kid!!!!
Well...now you are all caught up and you can go about your day and sleep better knowing the latest and greatest from our Joshua ;)

You've come a long way Baby.....

Bye for now

Happy Anniversary!!

So here is to another year gone bye. It really does seem like we have been together forever. (and not in a bad way)
We have known each other and been together for about 9 1/2 years and married 2yrs as of December 31st. We got to go out with a bunch of our friends that night. We had a GREAT time!! Meme and Pepe watched Josh for us (Pepe hadn't seen him in so long...I was glad to bring him there) He had a nice time with them so we didn't have a thing to worry about. It was (for the most part......) a pretty good day. We enjoyed and acknowledged the fact that we could do whatever we wanted and despite having to work in the morning, we made it a memorable day!
If you have never eaten at a Hibachi grill at a Japanese restaurant, you HAVE to try it. That is all I can say. I know that all of the restaurants can be different but the small show they do for you while preparing your food, is very entertaining. We have made it a tradition to eat at a Hibachi grill every anniversary!
I can't begin to tell you how much I love my husband. He is a terrific father as well. I certainly Do not want to bore you with any details that you don't really need to know..but just to give him a little praise and a thank you, is my goal. Here's to an eternity of HAPPY anniversaries!!!!!

Our first Christmas Together as a new family!

It may not look like much to you....but Josh seemed VERY pleased with the little he got. Every year we will be able to provide alittle more. Maybe in a few years we can even provide a brother or sister! (wink) ;)

What a Christmas!! I must say, Josh really loved the presents and the atmosphere more than I thought he would. He was definitley more aware and interested and it made it that much more fun for us. Corey and I are so proud and happy to have our own child to share our Holidays with. It gives us new meaning for these special times of the year. Everything seems to have so much more purpose!! That little Monkey is loved more than he will ever know and We intend on showing him everyday just what he means to us. He are a few pictures we can share. I hope you enjoy them and they do not do the "real thing" justice. You just HAD to be there to enjoy the full effect. Christmas day was the best day ever this year!!!! =)

Santa and Me



Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's




Despite how SICK Josh was that day...we ventured out on Christmas Eve to see the Grandparents and he did very well. It is traditiona to see the Tomlinson side of the family for Christmas Eve. It is their special night with him for us to exchange gifts! The poor little guy had a very bad cold and a fever earlier that day. Of course he also had two teeth coming in at the same time, on top of the BIG cold. So he was a real trooper and smiled a lot, anyway!

Christmas morning for our new little family



My new rattle was my favorite gift =)

Christmas day with MY family
Christmas day every year is my families day to spend with us. I like the fact that we each have a special day for each family and we don't have to run around or worry about who got to spend more time with who. It is GREAT to be able to have that seperate time and enjoy every second together!!! =)

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope to write again soon!!
Take care
