Josiah

our happy 1 year old! at his one-year check-up
26#14 (and i thought javan was our big boy:)

his is close to walking on his own! he says ma ma.. da da.. poop.. clock.. truck..nana (banana) and probably a handful of others.. he still has 4 teeth.. loves to EAT.. play "catch" with a ball. cuddle with his blankie, chase his brother and the puppy.. snuggle with mommy and daddy.. read books..and get into every cupboard and cabinet. he still takes 2 naps during the day and sleeps from 7-7 all night. he is such a good little guys. so sweet and mellow. unless there is food in sight and he isn't getting any:) we love him so much!!

Josiah turns one!!



happy 1st birthday sweet Josiah James!
Josiah turned 1 on November 4th and i have not had a chance to post any pictures yet of his party. we had a small get-together with family and some friends at our house. Josiah loved playing with his birthday balloons and all of the attention:) as for the cake however...............






he wanted nothing to do with it!!! he acted so scared of it and we have NO idea why. this is the boy who is literally obsessed with food and will eat pretty much anything. needless to say it was not how i pictured it going.  we quickly gave up on trying to get him to eat the cake and moved on to opening presents and playing with toys which he was ok with :)

camping!

so we went to devil's lake campground for the weekend with the boys. our friends aliza and joel met us the 2nd night and drove all the way from chicago to see us with their little guy jakob. it was an adventure for sure! we had a lot of fun, but camping with 2 little boys is a LOT of work! (which we expected:) we hope to make it a yearly tradition. we love this place!
watching daddy set up our tent!

josiah's bed for 2 nights. just as happy as always! he was very easy-going the whole time, as usual. 

very interested in watching daddy make the fire

trying to help.. (making mommy a bit nervous)

chevelle loves to camp because she gets to sleep in bed with daddy under the covers:)

finding wood for the fire

eating breakfast.. daddy made eggs, bacon, and of course, coffee!

relaxing.. javan thought it was a swing and wanted us to keep "pushing" him:)

enjoying a perfect day


javan loved the leaves, sticks, rocks, etc..:)


chopping wood

helping daddy cut wood

relaxing by the fire
