Joshua's First Trip To PA

Making trips back to PA seems to get harder as the kids get older.  The actual traveling is easier, but finding the time is challenging.  We took advantage of the long weekend and extra day off school, and made a trip to my in-laws.  It was Joshua's first long car ride and he did great.





Matt and I took advantage of being at my in-laws, and went out to dinner and a movie.  We went to our favorite local restaurant and then I dragged my husband to see Safe Haven.  We had a great time, I just wish we could have date nights more often.

 


 

Full of Love


Our Valentine's Day/weekend was fabulous.  


Matthew spent his day at school.  He exchanged Valentines and had a small party with his classmates.  I packed him a heart filled lunch.



Lilly and I spent our day making Valentines for the boys, and decorating the dining room for our little Valentine's dinner.


Her lunch was also full of love.  It is kind of dun trying to figure out how many things you can shape into hearts. {For me it was a PB sandwich, Grilled Cheese, Carrots, Potatoes, and sprinkles on plain yogurt.}


 Joshua spent his day doing what he does best, being adorable!


I spent the day making it as special as possible for my hubby and little ones.

 I made cupcakes


Oreo Balls

And a yummy dinner.



 It was a great family day.  Not the most romantic for Matt and I, but so worth it.  We did get to have a nice date night out this weekend when we were staying in PA with family. 




 

One Month!

Happy 1 month to Joshua!
The biggest milestones so far are smiling, and being awake for a few hours a day.  He is sleeping really well at night, only waking once to eat, and one other time for a fresh diaper.  He loves the swing we have upstairs, but hates the other we have in the living room.  He can't stand tummy time, and we probably don't do it as often as we should.


We are settling back into our regular life, and Joshua is fitting right in.  Library storytimes, play dates, meetings, and such don't seem to phase him.  Although he isn't too fond of the car seat unless the car is moving.


This past weekend we made a trip into DC for a very COLD Saturday going to museums.  He slept in the car seat, ate, then slept in the Boba carrier (which was the first time using it).  The kids loved the museums, and we had a great family day, with little to no problems, other than loosing a sock, but that always seems to happen!

I don't have any stats on growth, because we don't go back to the pediatricians office until 2 months, but he seems to be growing.  He is now on to size 1 diapers, and is quickly outgrowing the newborn sleepers and onesies.  The 0-3 month clothes are still big, but he is just too long for the newborn things.

Matthew and Lilly are still very excited about him, and the cutest thing is Matthew giving him kisses before he jumps out of the van during school kiss and ride. Lilly could sit and read to him all day long if I let her.  She also seems to get the most smiles out of him.

We are very lucky and blessed to have yet another wonderful, healthy baby, and are excited for the months to come!
