Two Months Too Fast.

*mommy went a little picture crazy...*

Has it really been two months already?

It doesn't seem like it has been that long...but it has. And it's going too fast!

Joshua is SO incredible! He's smiling all the time, he loves to be awake looking at things, and most of all, he loves to hang out with Mommy and Daddy.

Currently, he weighs 12 pounds 14 ounces, and measures and astounding 25 1/2 inches long! He can fit into 6 month clothes no problem now, though thankfully, 3 month separates still fit. :p

:D

We are LOVING being parents. He's the most amazing baby! Just the other day, I left him on his tummy mat and when I came back, he had rolled over! All by himself (and without a ton of crying...if you saw my video you'll know what I mean...haha)!

News flash! He Joshua can sleep through the night! It's not consistent, and certainly doesn't always happen in a way that I get to sleep through the night, but he can go 7-8 hours between eating in the evening and eating again in the morning around 7am. I'm really enjoying the extra sleep, and so is Danny.

This past month, I've had my 22nd birthday, which was made all the better by having Joshua blessed at church 3 days before my birthday. Danny gave such a beautiful blessing. It was especially neat because Joshua was so quiet in the circle of priesthood holders. It was like he knew what was going on.

He absolutely adores Danny. He smiles SO much when he sees him in the morning and when Danny comes home from work. :D

And he grins huge when we say his name to him--it's like he knows it already!

The hardest part of this last month was last week, when we had to send Uncle Cameron back out on his mission. :(  We were sad to see him go, but happy he has recovered from his knee surgery and can go out to complete his mission to the Lord. He's an incredible example and we'll be sending him TONS of pictures of Joshua.

This coming week will be our first Thanksgiving with our little family. It should be lots of fun, with plenty of foods and noms.

I'm SO thankful for my family! They are the best thing in my life and have made me so happy. Best of all, I know that I can be with them forever because of the blessings of the temple.

Speaking of the temple! Did you know about the Gilbert, AZ Temple open house? It's going to be open to the public--everyone from "one to ninety-nine" haha--so don't miss out on going to see the inside. It might be the only chance you get to see the inside of one of the beautiful Mormon temples. Here's a link to where you can find more information about reserving tickets in a few weeks (they are free, just needed to help keep the flow of people under control).

 I can hardly wait to see what this next month brings! (I'm hoping for some giggles...haha)
