What a busy 2 1/2 months!

What an amazing two and a half months it has been! What an incredible year it's been for Joseph and me. The amount of changes in our lives is overwhelming! We've gotten married, both of us have gotten new jobs, and we have welcomed Baby Fred into our lives. What a blessing Baby Fred has been! He is now just over two and a half months, and what a busy and exciting time it has been. Fred has met so many friends and family, and he is so lucky to have so many people that care so much about him!

Fred has been swimming, to a number of dinners and lunches, and has had many visitors in his few months.

The 4th of July was a blast, with Fred getting to see his first fireworks show (which he watched intently until someone with glowsticks would walk by) and his second (which he slept soundly in his Grandma's arms through).

This past weekend we got to visit with (and Fred got to meet) Michael and Lisa Forbes. What a wonderful visit it was, I love getting to spend time with people that have known Joseph for years. The stories, and just seeing them interact is always so much fun!

Monday Fred and I spent the day at home, reading, playing and napping (of course). Tuesday Fred and I met Chelsi and Carter for lunch and had a wonderful reconnection! Carter was so sweet to Fred, but Fred had his serious face on the whole visit!

After lunch we went to Fred's Grammy's house and went swimming with Joseph and Fred's Uncle Phillip. It was a blast!
Today Fred and I started our day very early, and we have read "Slowly, Slowly Said the Sloth" three times, played with some texture blocks, had tummy time, and now it's naptime. Fred seems to really really like the Eric Carle book. He looks intently at the pictures and coos (of course, we only have an attention span of about ten minutes at a time with the book). It's very exciting to see him interacting in such a way with books!
I will do my best to keep this site updated with the happenings of our sweet little angel!
