Josiah the talking boy

It is about to be a lot less quiet around the Swick residence now.

Thanksgiving with Aunt Pam

We celebrated our first Thanksgiving together as a family. Josiah was really good. He let mommy and daddy eat the whole meal before he decided he needed attention. Aunt Pam came and joined the festivities. Matt (a friend of Jason and Pam) came up, too.

Halloween and Other Pictures

For Halloween we dressed up as the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe.

Josiah was the lion. I think he made a very cute lion. He helped us win first prize in the costume contest.

This picture shows how chunky he's getting. I think it is funny because he has is thumbs in his pants.

This is Josiah and his daddy playing with a bag of Cheetos. Who says you have to buy your kids toys?

This is Josiah helping Jason work on his Greek.

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.
