Family Lovin'

We visited Tammy, Connor and Cayden the other week for a fun play time! We love cousins! Connor was REALLY into my breast pump - which goes with me when I am going to be out for awhile. He wanted to know what each tube did and what the knobs do. He was the most interested in the timer though...that kid is something else. He is the one who takes apart everything to see how it works. I use a normal kitchen timer because I never remember what time I start and it's kind of become like a third arm. So of course I left it there!! Aghhhh! How long do I pump for? How many minutes has it been? When did I start?? LOL - I guess I'll have to use the clock like a normal person.


Cayden and I put puzzles together, which was my highlight. I love puzzles! Even over sized-25 piece-kid puzzles. He is just a little ray of sunshine straight from the sun. What a sweet boy! And so pleased that he got to eat strawberries out of their strawberry patch that morning!


The boys entertained the baby for awhile, giving him their books and showing off all their toys...but that only lasts for so long before they decide that he is kind of boring. Joseph sure did coo and smile at his Aunt Tammy though! We'll have to get up to see our other cousins in Argyle soon, too.

Grand Re-Opening!

Hello my name is Heather and I am addicted to the internet. I've known this for awhile but I try to hide the problem and just keep a low profile. But then, the catastrophe of ALLLL catastrophes happened - we lost our internet connection. Never mind that we were freeloading off of our neighbors wireless signal (they moved away and left us with none - just like the little piggy), and never mind that I could have gone to the library to stay connected---these issues are not the point. We're back! That's the point! The greatest, grandest point ever! I've almost caught up on visiting all my favorite sites and I've gone through four weeks of email (it was a long couple of hours). And I can only imagine all the Baby Joseph Pumpkin Head Sweetie Peetie lovers who wonder if we've been hiding him in the basement or something. Soooo without further ado - here we go! It's our Grand Re-Opening! Have a great week!

And for a second, all is right in the world...

Look Whos Doing Tricks!

Our Pumpkin rolled over yesterday! So now we have a new trick. We've been putting him on his belly over and over to see him perform. It's so cute! The funny thing is, I can count on two hands the amount of times we've had "tummy time". A lot of times I just don't think about doing it with him and other times he cries and gets so upset that we'd give in and roll him to his back. He really didn't like it.

I thought I'd try tummy time for a bit yesterday and he did so good! He was up leaning on his forearms and smiling away at himself in his mirror. I went to grab my camera (he says "What, Ma? Always with the camera? Get over it already.") to get a picture for his Dad and when I looked up...he wasn't on his belly anymore! The stinker! So there goes tummy time - it's really hopeless now! Both Grandma (Gigi/Geegee/GG...) and Bobe got to see his new trick yesterday too.

Hooray, Joseph!
