Merry Christmas

We woke up this morning to find some great gifts from Santa. Joshua seems to be feeling much better today...and, as the pics below will show, he has gotten plenty of rest. We had a great first Christmas. We may have also had another first---Joshua grabbed his book and put it into his mouth (either that or the book just happened to be in his hand as he tried to put his fist in his mouth :P). Merry Christmas everyone!

Joshua's First Christmas (Eve)

We do our biggest Christmas celebration on X-mas Eve. Joshua was a bit croupy, but still managed to have a good time. Below are pics with cousins Rachel & Karl, Grandparents, Mi (Great-Grandmother), Momma & his many gifts.Merry X-Mas...more to come tomorrow...

Surrounded by presents.

Goodnight...Waiting for Santa........

The Cousins

My cousin Susan and I had our babies just one day a part (Lane was born on 9-13). The two boys finally got to meet last night at the first (of many) X-mas celebrations. (Unfortunately, Joshua kept spitting up - thus, his bib is covering his cute snow flake outfit).

Three Months!

Joshua turned 3 months old today! He is getting bigger and bigger every day. This week he has started responding to his name more consistently, almost rolled over (if his arm would just get out of they way), and refuses to smile when a camera is around :) (already getting an attitude). He also seems desperate to be mobile (his legs are always a goin') and almost ready for some real food (he keeps eyeing Momma's chips & queso :P).

"I am really tired of this dorky outfit Mom!"

Tis the season to put Joshua in silly hats :). Here are the rest of the immediate Texas Aunts & Uncles!

We just love this one!

Folly Beach

Thanks to Shevaun and her family Joshua and I got the chance to hang out at Folly Beach (about 10 miles outside of Charleston) this weekend. Since Joshua will not remember his first trip to the beach, I (of course) took plenty of pictures to mark the occasion.

Taken from the condo balcony. Joshua appreciated the view :P

Lookin' Cool!

Cutesy Rowan

Life sure is tough at the beach!
