Cause for Celebration

Today is Josiah’s one month birthday and my 28th! We are celebrating by eating, sleeping, and changing diapers all day long. If all goes well, we may go to Stonewood for dinner tonight to use a gift certificate that we intended to use the night I went into labor…obviously our plans changed. This morning I happened to be nursing Josiah at 3:33am, the time that I was born, and thought it was ironic to be celebrating with drinks (milk, of course) for one. I woke up later to a birthday card from Josiah in his bassinet!

One big cause for celebration is that Saturday Josiah was given his first bottle by his Daddy. He only played with it the first time, but he sucked it right down during the second feeding. He’s a pro now, but only gets it once a day. This new found skill will give us a bit more freedom, including dinner tonight while he stays with Grandma.

Jacob is so proud because Josiah can already roll over from his tummy to his back. He's done it 5 times. I tell Jacob that he's not doing it purposely and it is uncoordinated movements that cause it, but it doesn't matter to to him! Here's more random pictures:

Here is a picture of his first bottle experience.

Grandma gave him this outfit to wear to church for the first time.
He FINALLY fit in it and he's been to church 3 times.
Here is the camo Daddy bought him. He's even cute in camo!

How exciting!!! Great news that he took the bottle. Love the pics, Joel really liked the camo one. Suzanne is the one that got me started on the babyfood thing and you could TOTALLY do it, even if you are working. It's VERY easy and saves a TON of money. I cut up a butternut squash the other day and got like 30 servings out of it. Babyfood is like .50 to $1 per serving!! Anyway, we'll talk more about this but love the pics. Thanks for sharing.
