fall

today was great fall weather so I took Josiah out for a couple picture on the porch swing. He is sporting his new jeans and fall tee. The jeans may be a bit too big still but they look cute!

secret chats

Josiah begged to have his picture taken in his new tee from his girlfriend Aubrey. The caption on the tee is, "Up all night, sleep all day - don't worry I'll wake you too!" The other night I found out that he and Aubrey had been secretly talking and collaborated together to get up at the exact same time, same night with a goal in mind - to keep their mommy's up most of the night by refusing to go back to sleep. It may be a little too early for secret chats!

random pictures

Here are some random pictures I took this afternoon. Josiah is sporting the new tee that he got from Collin and Beth. Hopefully he doesn't fulfill what the shirt says any time soon...so far he's been pretty easy to take care of. I think the last picture he's telling me he's tired of a camera in his face.

the cutest baby ever...

Wow! He is the most beautiful baby ever!! Last week we had Josiah's picture taken by a friend. Below are some of them. There are a total of about 40 different ones. Let me know if you would like to preview them and order any for yourself. :)

ohio

Last weekend we traveled to Ohio for our trip to Cedar Point. Josiah did great on the ride there and back. It was much easier than I expected. The trip to Cedar Point was much more unusual than normal. We only were able to ride 4 coasters within a 12 hour period of time. Usually we are able to ride 12 coasters or more in a days visit. It just so happens that we chose the busiest day of the season and one of the top 5 busiest days in the existence of the park. A normal day is about 20-30 thousand attendees and last Saturday there were 56 thousand. I guess the only thing that mattered was riding the Top Thrill Dragster and we did accomplish that before the park closed. It was unbelievable!
Josiah spent the whole day on Saturday with Grandma and Grandpa Hunt. He was spoiled all weekend and was held by everyone. He also had his first chiropractic adjustment and did great! Below is a picture with Grandpa and Grandma (sorry it's poor quality). Also, a picture of all his cousins.

lack of sleep

Well, I guess I spoke too soon...last night Josiah wanted to pull an all nighter and stay up until 4:30 AM. I stayed up until then with him but then he got to spend some bonding time with Daddy from 4:30 until 7:00 am. They hung out on the couch together. Of course, now he's sound asleep...I think it's time for a diaper change and some awake time...I'm not staying up all night tonight. If he wants to pull another all nighter then he'll have to talk grandma or grandpa Hunt into hanging out. :)
We are all packed and ready to hit the road. Here's Josiah all dressed comfy for the trip in his new outfit from Grandma Carter.

Have a great weekend!

sleep

These pictures were taken yesterday and last night. Joel was working and I was catching up on some laundry while Josiah was chillin on the couch. He's been doing great sleeping at night. The last few nights he slept from 10:30-12:30 and then goes back down from 1:00 - 6:00 am. I don't think I could ask for much more considering he is only 3 weeks old. He's more alert and awake during the days and it's so much fun just watching him look around and observe things.
Josiah will be going on his first road trip to grandma and grandpa Hunt's this weekend. He's looking forward to meeting aunts, uncles and a lot of cousins. I'm sure we'll have tons of pictures to post next week. We better get started on packing!

ladies man

Isn't he handsome? Here's Josiah sporting the t-shirt that Mark got for him.

Sorry that the video is off-center...it's tough to film with this camera since it has no eyepiece. Should have a replacement soon.
