Rolling Over

It has taken a long time to get this downloaded. Every time I tried something would mess up. So here is Josiah rolling over. He has rolled over several times since this was filmed. You can tell that now he is actually trying to push himself when he gets tired of being on his stomach. The problem is his hand isn't always in the right place for him to get himself over.

Random Josiah Pictures

He likes to sit in his bouncy chair and play with the toys. Jason and I like when he does this because that means we can get something down around the house.
When he has the desire to suck on something, or when he gets tired he turns to his thumb. I thought this was a cute picture of him sucking his thumb.

A couple of weeks ago we took Josiah on his first hike. We went to a place called Rock City. He slept through most of the hike so he didn't enjoy the scenery. This his Josiah in his Wyoming cowboys stuff that Grandma and Grandpa Kessler bought him. I thought this was a cute pictues of him bundled up in his towel after a bath.

Nosing around

Here's a great little video of me and Josiah. :)

2 Month Doctor Visit

Josiah had his two month doctors appointment. He now weights 12 lbs 8oz and is 23 inches long. His head is 16 1/4 inches around. The doctor says he looks great. Josiah also had his first round of shots. He handled the shots okay. He cried but Jason said it was mainly because he didn't like his legs being pinned down. After the shots I nursed him and he left the doctor's office all smiles. On the way home he fell asleep. When he woke up 3 hours later he was in a lot of pain. His right leg was really swollen and inflammed. He couldn't hardly move it. He cried for a long time (while he was crying mommy was crying). We tried to hold him to comfort him, but that only made it worse. He finally settled down around midnight last night but woke up several times. He is feeling much better today. He is moving his leg and we are able to hold him again.
Sorry I don't have any more pictures with me right now. I forgot to download them before I came to the coffee shop. I will try to get more pictures out later this week.

Josiah is 6 weeks old!

Sorry that it has taken so long to update the blog. It is difficult when we don't have internet at the house and our schedule has been hecktic with school starting.


Josiah is now 6 weeks old. We had his one month doctor's appointment last week and he now weighs 10 lbs. 10 oz and is 21 1/2 inches long. He is now starting to smile as you can see from the picture. He is the most happy when he wakes up in the morning. This morning he pooped on mommy and he was very happy about it. I think he smiled for a minute straight.







Josiah really likes to use his legs. Here is a picture of him trying to stand. He enjoys laying on mom and dad's chest and pushing up with his legs.






This is a good picture so show how chunky he is getting. Look at that double chin.









This is Josiah doing tummy time on the boppy. This picture doesn't show it, but he is really starting to hold his head up high.

Josiah's First Week of Life

Here is the best looking kid ever born. Josiah is over a week old now. We had our first doctor's visit yesterday and he is healthy. After one week he has already gained 5 oz and has grown 1/2 inch.



Here is a picture of mom and Josiah hanging out. He enjoys sitting in people's laps and watching the world go by.







This is Josiah making faces at his daddy.



Josiah enjoys hanging out with his dad. They do tummy time together and Josiah sleeps on Jason's lap while Jason does his school work.















Here is the three of us. We are enjoying Josiah a lot. He is very laid back. The only time he cries is when he is getting a diaper change, a bath, or he is hungry. The rest of the time he either sleeps or just quietly looks around at his world.

Josiah Andrew Swick is here!!!

At 6:30am on Monday July 23 Katie, Jason, and Amanda check into Ruby Memorial Hospital.

Amanda still looks great with her contractions.

At 5:05pm baby Josiah was born!

Josiah decided to sun himself and enjoy the warming bed while they were checking him out and cleaning him up.

Man, he sure is a good looking kid!!

Finally, on Wednesday Josiah was able to go home. Here is his leaving the hospital outfit.

He also really likes to look around.
