Week 19 Happy Valentines Day

On Valentines day Joshua had work and school so I did not even get to see him until 11pm However this little cutie showed me plenty of love.

And Joshua spoiled me with roses and gifts left as a surprise when I got home from work. We usually dont give gifts and instead go on a weekend get away. However this year we had to postpone it because of his work.

On Friday I had the day off of work and it was the grand opening of the bridge Joshua has been working on. So the three of us went down and listened to the governor and mayor speak. It was neat to have Joshua point out different things he built on the bridge and see his work enjoyed by others.

On Saturday Joshua stayed home with Judah so I could go shopping for some new clothes. I still had gift cards from my birthday in August and from Christmas because I have just been too busy. My boys decided to take a nap on the couch while I was out.

Krista, Michael, and Tristan arrived on Saturday so Kaaryn, Mia, Judah and I went up for lunch to welcome them here! We got to see their new house and visit.

Week 18: 4 Months

My sweet little baby is four months old!

On Monday Joshua got the day off because of the bridge he worked on opening. So he stayed home with Judah and visited his school Northwest. Judah got a tour of the campus.

This week Judah and mommy have been fighting bad colds and have spent a lot of time sleeping and snuggling.

My parents were out of town this past week for Tristan's birthday party. So Kaaryn was kind enough to watch Judah for me. That meant he was extra spoiled going on walks and playing with his cousin Mia!

Week 17: Superbowl

Judah finally started holding his head up while on his tummy this week! I was so proud of him. One night he turned like he was going to roll over and I panicked because Joshua was at work and I did not want him to miss it. But it was a false alarm!

This week Joshua continued to work a lot and got switched to night shift. We basically saw each other about an hour each morning when he got home and before I left. So Judah and I were on our own each night. Because of this Joshua delivered me flowers at work! I also got to have dinner with my friends Katie and Jen one night to keep me company. The bridge Joshua has been working on opened on friday. He worked 16 hours that night and then stayed an extra three just to watch it open. That is dedication!

On Saturday Judah made his first of many shopping trips to Lowes. Joshua's present for working so much overtime is getting to replace our super stained living room carpet. He is thrilled.

On Sunday we went to church and then to our baby dedication class. Judah and Mia will be dedicated at church on May 11th! Cant wait. After church we went to the Tyrees house to have a Superbowl party with our small group. Joshua and Matt swapped children for awhile! Judah was totally into the lights during the Beyonce halftime show.

It was another blessed week and just a joy to watch our little guy continue to grow.

Week 16: work, work, work

The time has finally come that I had to return to work. I thought I was going to be a mess but I actually handled it well. Lucky me I have great babysitters in my mom, dad, and a nanny. Here is my smiley boy my first day back. 

Joshua is also very busy at work this week. He has a lot of overtime because the bridge he is working on opens this week. On Sunday Judah and I got to attend Kaaryn and Willie's nephews baptism. So excited for Luke. Judah got worn out at church and feel asleep.

 After church we headed up to the Fries house to celebrate the baptism. Audrey wanted to hold Judah even though he is about half her size. She is convinced he is her cousin because Mia is her cousin and Judah's. So cute.

Krista, Micahel, and Tristan were up this weekend house shopping for their move so we got to hang out one night.

Judah is practicing to feed himself! Hoping it catches on soon. 

Week 15: crafty

Joshua had a very hectic week at work and had a lot of overtime. The bridge construction he is working on should be coming to an end soon and we look forward to seeing where he will be in the future. This little monster looks forward to daddy coming home each day. 

 

I think the realization that I go back to work next week finally set in and I got busy making decorations for our house when Judah was napping and snuggling when he was awake

This week Judah started holding up his head so he could sit in his chair. He is enjoying playing with his toys and bopping his head to the music. 

Week 14: Three months

This week we hit Judah's three month milestone. Time is going so quickly but I am enjoying each moment with him. We are so blessed to have such a great little (well kinda of big) boy.

Judah and I got to take a meal to my friend Savanna this week and visit her cute tiny twins Coral and Dahlia. Lucky for me Judah slept most of the time so I got to play with the girls. Their mom posted this picture of them and a picture of her and her twin sister with the mustaches as well.

I love putting Judah in clothes other then onsies. Tried out these adorable overalls this week and Joshua says "its not helping with making him not look huge" woops, hahah. How can you not love those cheeks!!!!!

Judah cheered on the seahawks with us and was sad to see them lose. We sure thought we had it at the end.

 And we finished the week visiting Joshua's friends church in Bellevue. It was a great word and a joy to be there and I had another excuse to put Judah in some cute little man clothes!

Week 13: It's a new year

Happy 2013!

We started the week attending a wedding shower for a long time friend from church. She has been living in London and is marring a guy from there so we made head pieces in honor of the British. Judah was a champ hanging out with all the ladies.

For New Years Eve we had my mom and the Fores over and played new games we got for Christmas. We were very happy to make it to Midnight!

Judah was rocking his super cute bathrobes this week. Although his ever growing belly is getting to big for them.

Judah practiced a lot of tummy time so he can use his big boy toys. We found unique ways to do tummy time!

 

 I decided that it was time to pull it together and start working out to get back in shape. Joshua and I did a lot of WII sport together!

And we finished off the week with church at Calvary. Judah was enjoying watching Pastor Ray on the big screen.
