Josh update

Josh does a lot of the same things Sam did at this age (10 mths)- like standing- especially by the dishwasher! But he also has some "quirks" of his own. He is ALWAYS clucking his tongue. It is really cute. He also makes the best face when he scrunches his nose up and sort of laughs- but I cannot get a picture! As soon as I have the camera ready, he stops!

Sam update

Sam is having a great summer! He no longer has "accidents" (at least not since May) and he plays very well- especially with Lightening McQueen! He loves ice-cream and he made a new friend when Neal came to visit.

Watching Hockey...Go daddy and Uncle Nicholas!

Little Dutch Boys

these photos were taken back in May by my mom and I just saw them for the first time. I think they are so funny! Josh is hilarious!

Another successful, but tiring, wedding day!

Wedding Weekend!!!

Nicholas and Ashley VanSchepen June 3, 2006

Our camera broke on Friday, so we didn't get to take any pictures! Luckily, my mother had snapped a few. Sam did such a good job as the little ring bearer!


In between the ceremony and reception, while we were all in the Limo, my parents took the boys in my car and they both feel asleep in their car seats for a loooooong time. Sam was exhausted! He also wasn't feeling well, so unfortunatly he woke up VERY crabby.

The hotel was a lot of fun too! I finally got to try my sling in the pool- Josh and I LOVED it!

Memorial Day

Memorial day was fun and relaxing. We spent it in Holland with my folks- golf, shopping, walks, and Sammy and the hose. He had a gredat time with that hose; yes, he is in his underwear because his mother didn't bring his bathing suit!

Summer

Kind of a strange picture, but I thought it was neat. I saw these bare, dirty, band-aided feet and I thought...summer is here!

T&P

Yes, naptime and bedtime cannot happen without T&P. Neither can looooong car rides....

Helpers

Fuzzy

Sam and daddy went to Build a Bear and Fuzzy was created- a gift for Josh!

First Foods

As many of you know I have had a really hard time with getting Josh to eat foods. It is so different then Sam! Samloved food right from the start and would eat anything I gave him- especially vegetables which he still loves. Josh won't open his mouth. So I stopped trying for a couple weeks and just started up again. He is doing a little better, but not much. If he doesn't like something he throws up (apparently he doesn't care for peas). I have been sort of annoyed because he is so far behind what Sam was doing at this time. I know I need to just be patient, but it is really hard. I found a great article about starting solids on one of my favorite websites: http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/solids/index.html

Fun with friends
