I put Josiah down for his morning nap and then a little while later I heard him crying super hard and this is what I found when I went upstairs:


This was the first time he did it and then he did it a couple of more times throughout the day!!

Tonight I started the massive task of pulling weeds from our yard--they are overtaking our yard. I was super excited to see a small tomato growing in my little container. I have never grown any vegetables so hopefully it will taste ok!!

Crawling

Josiah is doing such a great job of crawling on his knees finally. Here is a short video of him crawling!

Father's Day

We had a super busy Father's Day weekend. On Friday night we headed up to Tinley to celebrate with my family. Then I headed over to Beth's to play Bunco with her friends. It was so much fun even though I didn't win any money :( Then on Saturday we went out for lunch with Tim's parents and Phil & Julie. We headed out to West Beach for a while to let Josiah play in the sand and water. He loved the sand and did not even eat any--which is a big surprise. Then we went to Tim's cousins, Melanie's graduation party. On Sunday we decided to celebrate Father's Day with just our family and it was so nice and relaxing. Here are some pictures of Tim & Josiah on Father's Day, unfortunately all of the pictures that we took of our dads did not turn out :(

1st Birthday Card

Josiah received his first birthday card in the mail from Aunt Jo and he was very excited to receive it. Thanks so much Jo!!

1st haircut

Josiah has a little bit of a mullet so we decided today to cut that off. We were going to go to a barber to get it cut off but they wanted to charge ten dollars so we did it in the bathtub. I don't think it looks too bad!

1st Birthday Pictures

Today we headed out to Merrillville, IN to have Josiah's pictures taken. We went to Portrait Innovations and they did such a great job. Josiah did so much better than last time which made picking out the pictures much more difficult. Here are some of the best ones:

Ouch

Today I was trying to be a good wife and make my husband a wonderful dinner. I did not have any bread crumbs at home so I looked for a recipe on-line. I found one where you make the bread crumbs in the blender (I know they sell them in stores--I've heard all about it :) ) So, I started to make the bread crumbs but all of the bread wasn't being shredded so I tried to help it along by pushing the bread down with my finger (obviously not thinking!) Once I realized what I did I threw a paper towel on it and went to my neighbors house and asked him to drive me to the ER. I still was not sure how my finger was because I did not want to look at it. He was able to drive me to the ER and Tim and my mom met us at the ER. Once we were assured that all I needed was stitches--Tim took Josiah home and mom stayed with me. I ended up getting 6 stitches--with one of them being in my fingernail. I also have a small break at the tip of my finger. I guess from now on I will buy bread crumbs at the store :(
