Joe and Tess with Mustaches

 

Sledding at Grandma's

Poor Josh had to wear his cousins pink gloves when we went sledding. He may  not seem to mind in this picture, but he was not happy about it!  Maybe he just wasn't happy about the gloves in general.

 Joshua took one trip down with daddy and we called it good.  It was snowing so hard it hurt his face when he went down the hill. 

 But that didn't stop everyone else from enjoying it!

Brushing Duke

Josh loves his hair brush.  He walks around the house brushing his hair. 

And sometimes he even helps others out by brushing their hair.  

Thankfully, Duke doesn't mind being a target.  He might even like it!  Except when he gets hit. 

Josh, Come!

We have been trying to teach Josh to come when we call him instead of getting a goofy smirk on his face and running away. We say to him, "Josh, Come!" and eventually he comes...eventually. 

Well, today, Josh was sitting by himself playing with his books and all of a sudden I hear him saying to himself, "Josh, Come.   Josh, Come.  Josh, No.  Josh, Come."  How cute is that?

My Big Boy

 Joshua is getting so big!

 He looks so grown up sitting in a chair all by himself, coloring. (or drawing)

Uncle Nick

Joshua and Contessa love their Uncle Nick!

Playing With Cars

Joshua and his uncle Robert enjoyed playing with some cars this last weekend. 

Daddy even got into it a little too!

However, eventually, I think Robert, and Joe too, got more excited about playing with the cars for their own entertainment rather than Joshua's.

 But Josh didn't seem to mind.  He just loved watching the cars race down the track.

Soo Tired

Joshua and Baby Torrance

Joshua enjoyed seeing his baby cousin, Torrance, this weekend.  

 He did a great job being "nice" to her.

 I think he's going to make a GREAT big brother.

 Here he is giving kisses to Torrance.  How sweet!

Duke Giving Josh a Bottle

Yes, Josh still drinks for a bottle.  It's my little distraction for him.  He drinks it all this way and it keeps him busy for a while!  Here's Duke helping Josh with his bottle...

All Dressed Up

 Joshua's little shirt and vest for Church. 

And who said you can't dress up little boys!

My Little Slugger

 

Here's another cute video.  But I accidentally recorded it sideways.  It's cute though!

 

Sledding!

Joshua is all ready to go out sledding.  We didn't have any gloves, so we used socks!  :-)

Who wouldn't love sledding if they got pulled up the hill too!

Vacuuming

 Joshua escaped from me changing his clothes so he could go vacuum. 

 Now if I could just teach him to fold laundry!

 Or maybe I would just settle for him picking up his books and all the other toys he has laying around!

Merry Christmas!!

 We had our family Christmas on Saturday.  Here are some pictures of Joshua opening and enjoying his presents!

He got a puppy pillow pet, 

which he LOVES to cuddle with. 

He got some cars...

And one car that moves on it's own.  Like a remote, but there's only three buttons.

He LOVES that too!

And best of all...

he got a T-ball set.  He's already a pro!

We had a fun Christmas!

Dancing to Christmas Songs

We were listening to some Christmas songs the other day and Joshua was just dancing away.  Watch!

P.S.  Sorry about the camera trade off halfway through.
P.S.S. I will be posting more actual pictures instead of just video.  I'm just having trouble with a video connection, so I'm getting each little bit up as I get it.  Right now those little bits just happen to be video.

No Fear

It's like stealing candy from a baby!  It's like taking a bone from a dog!

Early Christmas Present

We're celebrating our family Christmas today.  Last night, Josh got to open an early Christmas present. 

More of Duke

Yes, I know I have a lot of pictures of Joshua climbing on Duke.  But it's just so cute and funny, and he does it ALL THE TIME!!  Poor Duke.  Poor, poor Duke!  Here are some of the latest...
