Labor Day Cookout

On Saturday we had a cookout at Rob & Lisa's with the family. We had a great time even though it was very hot outside. It is so much fun to see the cousins interact with each other.

Doctor's Appointment

Josiah had his 2 month check up on Friday. He weighed in at over 11 pounds and was 24 1/4 inches long. We were very surprised and happy that he had gained that much weight in the last six weeks (4 pounds). He also received 3 shots (a total of six different vaccines). He did super well and so did I--I didn't look at the shots and stood up by his head with his pacifier in his mouth, closed my eyes and talked to him. Once I could hold him I gave him his bottle and he stopped crying right away--what a trooper. Thankfully he also did not have any side effects except needing a little extra comfort!! We are so thankful that he is doing so well!!

Josiah's Baptism

Yesterday, we celebrated with many of our family and friends in the baptism of Josiah. My brother, Jeff, actually performed the baptism and did a great job!! Josiah wore the baptismal outfit that my brother wore. He also wore a little sweater that his grandma made and that Tim wore when he was baptized. Then, he had a blanket that my grandma made for him. He was quite the sweaty little guy when all was said and done. He did ok up front--I think he actually enjoyed being doused with the water because he was so hot.

Jeff's Birthday

On Saturday we headed out to DeMotte to celebrate Jeff's birthday. We had a great time together (except Great Grandma--Josiah decided to give her a dirty present on her nice white pants!!) She still loves him, though!! Austin and Kruesie were so much fun together, too. We tried out Jeff & Lisa's swing that swings from side to side and Josiah loved it!! We found one on Craig's list that we might be getting.

Geo-Caching

Tonight we went Geo-Caching at the Kankakee River. We did not do very well with the geo-caching, but we enjoyed walking around the beautiful park. Josiah slept the whole time in the Baby Bjorn which was super nice.
