Watching football with Daddy

Practicing sitting up

I'm ready for the cold weather

Wearing my new sweater

Josh tries his bouncy seat...not a great success yet!

He can kinda hold his head up and tried bouncing a little...then his arm slipped through the leg hole and he was done.

The boys watching a game together

Blurry Mom & Baby

This picture was a mistake and we love it!

Look at those cheeks

10 Weeks Old

Joshua Bean is 10 weeks old, 10.3 lbs 22 inches, and a pooping machine! He may have smiled at me a few times or he may just be farting. Either way, it's a beautiful smile. He's starting to stare at bold images and he's sleeping more at night.

Fun Mat

Not sure if he likes this or if it scares him.

Josh tries his vibrating chair

The look on his face is priceless!

Phils Fever

Here Joshua is wearing his favorite Phils hat. It's actually an ice cream sundae cup.

9 lbs!

According to our scale Josh is 9lbs today. That means he's gained almost double his goal for the past 2 weeks. The really likes the bottle. Looks at those cheeks!

No Pants!

This is the first day Joshua wore pants and as you can see he wasn't happy about it. These are still the only pants that fit him.

Hi Buddy!!!

Look who couldn't wait to get here! I'll post more pictures soon, but here he is hours after being born. We are madly in love with him!!!

33 Week Ultrasound of Bean's Face

If you can't tell what you're looking at here, don't worry, your eyesight is perfectly normal! It's like looking in the clouds and waiting for them to form an image. In any case, if you stare long enough you might see a really cute nose, eyes, and big cheeks.

Baby Shower

The shower was perfect in every way. I have the most amazing and generous family and friends. This Bean is SO lucky.

Plane Mobile

Our beautiful mobile arrived.












Debora from http://hangingorigami.com had never done prop planes before, but she did the research and designed this just for us using the colors in the wall art. The best thing is, because it's paper, it only takes the slightest breeze to get the planes flying. Now we just need the glider and the nursery is complete...oh yeah and the baby.

Meet the Babymobile

We haggled and finally did it. Meet our new (2 year old) V6 RAV 4. Love it!!!

Week 29

Bean is weighing in at 3lbs. Look how proud we are! He'll probably like watermelon, cause he looks like one. Today he is being a total spaz and pummeling me from the inside. I think he has his father's dance moves. Thanks to Auntie Dina for taking these pictures.

Week 27

Here I am trying to hula hoop. It turns out, when you can't swivel your hips, it doesn't work.

Registering

Kate & Megan finally met after over a year of me telling them they lead parallel lives. They hit it off great and were lifesavers in helping me to register. Both had their first kids while living in small places so they were so helpful about knowing what we really need and what is a gimmick. Thank you both SO much!!!

Grandparent Names

Here are the contenders so far...
Jim: Poppa, Grand Dude, the one that sounds like a pizza joint??? what was it?
Debi: NoNa
Bonnie: Gram
Joel: TBD

Uppababy Vista

After much research and many test drives we've decided to get the Uppababy Vista stroller. It can hold a carseat, a bassinet, and a toddler seat for later. It also converts into a double stroller if that should ever be an issue. Thanks Bonnie & Joel!

25 Week Ultrasound Pictures

Here we are looking at his face straight on. Hmmmm...kinda scary. Is he a frog? What's hanging out of his mouth?

25 Week Ultrasound Pictures

Here Bean is posing dramatically with his hand to his forehead as if to say "oy vey, get that light off of me." He gets this from his father.

25 Week Ultrasound Pictures

Here he is with his cute little nose. Weighing 1 lb and 11 ozs.

Bean at the Beach

Beverly & I took our beans to the beach. We got plenty of stares.
