Maybe it's time to post about Christmas

For Christmas, we got to spend 2 wonderful weeks in Maryland with my family. I love going home, especially now that we live so close! This year Christmas was extra fun because Joshua understood more and was excited about everything.

Christmas Eve we went to my Aunt Jackie's house and visited with our extended family.

Joshua's First Haircut

Joshua was in desperate need of a haircut so we took him to Cookie Cutters for his first haircut. We have been lost at what to do with his hair because it was super long and floppy but he still doesn't have a ton of it.


Getting ready, sitting in a car chair.

The final product. What a cutie!

Halloween!

We started by going to the Children's Museum haunted house. It was advertised as lights on for younger children so I thought it wouldn't be scary at all and Joshua would enjoy it. Too bad he got a little scared. I felt horrible. As we walked through he kept telling us how he didn't like it and was scared. But when we finished, some popcorn and a lollipop made everything better.

He chose to dress up as a race car driver that night, one of his 4 costume options.









Next, we carved pumpkins for family night. It was my first time carving a fun design and we didn't even get any pictures. I have become so bad about taking pictures. Joshua was so excited to do it and loved playing with the gunk, except if it touched him. He's hilarious about getting his hands messy.







Finally, on Halloween night we dressed Joshua up as an elephant because it was his warmest costume. Kevin walked him around to our neighbors while I passed out candy at home. He loved trick-or-treating and loved wearing his elephant except he did not want pictures. He ran away every time we tried to take one, so here is the best one. He was an adorable elephant though!

We're having a baby...

GIRL and couldn't be more excited! I think we were both a little surprised but in a good way. Neither Kevin nor I had any preference, we were just excited to find out.



Baby girl was not shy about showing herself! She stuck her little bum in the air and spread them wide so we knew for sure she was a girl.



Knowing that 'it' is now a girl has helped the excitement kick in! I am FINALLY not throwing up anymore and feeling so much better. I can't wait to go shopping for lots of hair bows, tights, and everything pink!

Yee- Haw, Joshua is 2!

Joshua turned 2 on September 19. He has been really into cowboys this summer so we threw a cowboy bash. It was so much fun! We were lucky to have my parents come and celebrate with us. We had friends, food, Joshua water and crayons, a pinata, and tons of presents.

Our baby boy

Back in June, my wonderful friend Mikki asked to take some pictures of Joshua before we left. She is just starting a photography business and wanted a cute little boy to practice on. Thanks so much Mikki! I LOVE them!
