Christmas 2012

We had a great Christmas!  It was so fun this year with Joshy being a little older and wanting to get in on the opening of presents.  Both the boys were spoiled by Santa!  They both got lots of toys and a few outfits.  It was fun to watch Jack get so excited as he opened all his presents.  Joshy mostly watched Jack and then tried to rip into the paper after watching Jack doing it.  After we had our little family Christmas, my in laws came over and we exchanged gifts and then headed over to my parents to spend the rest of the day.  Everyone made a greek dish to share.  It was a lot of fun and very very yummy.  After we ate we opened presents... Jack and Joshy were both spoiled rotten again!! Jack loved being able to pass out the presents to Papa and Gigi and his aunts and uncles and counting all the presents that he got.  It was a super fun day and we loved getting to spend the time with family!

Josh's Surgery

Back in July, yes I am that far behind.. Josh had a little surgery done.  He was such a happy boy while we waited for them to take him back considering he hadn't been able to eat since midnight.  He actually fell asleep right before he had to go back, luckily I was able to hand him to his Aunt Megs and she went back with him until he was asleep.  I bawled when I had to hand him over but knew he was going to be in good hands.  The surgery took about an hour, a little longer than expected because it took them awhile to get the iv in his tiny hand.  He woke up so sad and was sobbing when they finally let me back to be with him.  He calmed right down once they handed him to me : ).  We waited for awhile, while he nursed and slept. Then I was able to take him home where we both slept most of the day.

Boating

I am so so so behind, so bare with me as I add like ten post!  Alec, Josh and I went boating with some people that Alec works with.  It was fun and we all had a good time.  Joshy loved being on the boat especially when it was going.  Being on a boat with a baby makes me super nervous but we all survived.  The only thing Joshy didn't like was when I laid him on the floor of the boat in his life jacket because he couldn't move. : )

Joshy Turns 1!!!

I can't believe that you are already one!! This year went by so so fast! You are getting smarter and sassier by the day.  You are walking everywhere and think you are pretty hot stuff while doing it.  You are starting to say more and more words, you can now say: Mama, Dada, Jack, Bye, Please, Papa, and Gigi.  You love to play with your brother and for the most part he loves playing with you.  You are a great sleeper still, sleeping from 6:30 to usually 7:30 or 8.  You are starting to throw fits and will lay down on the floor and have a full on tantrum, I can't help but laugh when you do this.  You love bath time and every time you hear the water start you come running.  You have become a total ham for the camera and pull the cutest faces every time the camera comes out.  You are a great eater and are willing to try whatever we are willing to give you.  You are still a mommies boy and really won't go to anyone if mommy is around.  I have a love hate/relationship with this but mostly a love.  You are still the most cuddly baby and love to be cuddled especially when you are ready for bed.  You are a major binkie baby and I am a little worried about taking you off the binkie, but its happening in the next two months whether we are ready or not! : ) I can't wait to see what the next year brings and how much you grow and change!  I love you boo-boo!!  Thanks for making me laugh and smile every single day!!!

My Favorite Date!!

At the end of September I went on a date with one of my favorite men, Jack!  We went to the circus.  Jack didn't know where we were going, I just got him dressed and told him we were going on a special date.  He was so excited when he realized it was to the circus!  He sat so nice the entire time and he loved the lions and the motorcycles.  It was a super fun date and I love getting to spend one on one time with my little man!
