The Dog Book

This past weekend we went to Dallas to visit Dan's family. It was the first time that Joshua and Kaden actually interacted with each other. At first, they were a little stand offish, but the dog book broke the ice...haha! They both loved looking at this book and I was able to get some good pictures of them together. They also vacuumed together, with Kaden's toy vacuum, but I do not have a picture of that. It was really cool to see them interact. Thanks Kaden for sharing your books and toys with Joshua. We had a great visit with everyone!

Kaden: I like this puppy!

Joshua: Well, I like this puppy!

My Little Valentine!

Helping Mommy make a Pie!!

Oh how I love my son! His little personality is really starting to shine through. He is into everything and going everywhere. He is starting to engage in different activities and express how he feels rather it be happy or sad. He still loves to smile and giggle and that brings me such great joy! I get tickled watching him play, because he gets amused by the slightest things. He is such a great kiddo. He loves to throw things across the room, and loves to turn the TV on and off( which makes watching TV a little more of a challenge). He is still not walking on his own yet, but he is getting better at walking while holding on hand. He loves to give hugs and BIG kisses!!

I LOVE MY LITTLE VALENTINE!!!

Joshua and Working from Home!

So, before the holidays, I talked to my boss about working from home part time. I felt it was best, since Joshua was starting to get into everything, and I didn't expect my office to be baby proofed and I was starting to pull my hair out while trying to juggle my work load and keeping an eye on my little explorer, it just got to be too much! We tried it out a couple of days, but today was my actual first full day. I love it! I am able to remote in from my desk top at home into my work's server and have access to all the information, all the while, letting Joshua roam about freely in a baby proof environment. I know today was only the first day, but it worked out really well. Joshua was able to take his naps in his own crib without any interruptions and he had a blast getting into all his toys and books, which are everywhere right now, but none the less he seemed quite content and that was the goal. I really hope this works out for both mine and Joshua's sanity. I will work from home Mon- Wed. and go into the office, Thurs. and Fri. Joshua still goes to school Tues and Thurs, so he will only have to be in the office on Fridays! Today seemed to go somewhat smoothly and I was able to get a lot of work done.

Swinging In the New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! We decided to celebrate the first day of the new year by going to the park and swinging! Joshua had a blast on the swing! We hope that 2009 is a fabulous year for everyone!!!
