1 MONTH!

 Today Joshua is 1 month old!

It's insane!

We can hardly believe it's been a month already. Time certainly flies in THREE instances that I can see:

- when you're having fun.
- when you're a parent.
- when you're having fun BEING a parent!

I don't have an official weight for him since his last check up was at 2 weeks (then, he weighed in at 10 lbs, 5 oz).

Now, however, I know he's bigger than that.

My guesstimate (based on weighing myself and him, then just me) is that he's about 11.5 pounds, give or take (probably give) a few ounces.

He's about 23 inches long, or longer by now.

Our little boy has been so much fun to get to know!

Danny was able to stay home from work for 2 weeks, which was a huge blessing for us. We loved spending time with our little family.
 I love to dress up my little (but not so little) peanut, as you can see. The hats are super fun, and I'm thrilled that it's finally cooled off enough for him to kind of start wearing it, cuz it's stinkin' cute.

So far, we've been out and about pretty often, and nearly made it through all of church today, which was an accomplishment considering he was awake, but not needing to eat for about the last hour of it.

I am loving being a mother. Joshua is incredible. He amazes me every single day with all the little things he does.
 He has personality already. :)

We haven't put him in a pool yet since it's too cold, but he LOVES taking baths. The warm water is so relaxing and he'll usually go right to sleep after a bath.

Joshua also LOVES to look at daddy. Danny has been working for the last 2 weeks, so we haven't seen as much of him during the day as we did at first. When he gets home and wakes up, if he isn't already, he'll just stare intently at Danny. It's adorable.

This week, I've been working on Halloween costumes. We have a family theme. And it was Danny's idea. It's good. Really good.

But you'll have to wait until next week to see what they are. :-P

haha.

For now, just soak up these cute pictures of Joshua. Cuz he's really cute.
