Too Many Kisses to Number

I find that the day after I work I always have an extra dose of fun with Josiah. He's happy to have a mommy to snuggle with, too many kisses to number, and warm milk at a moment's notice. I'm happy to feel his warm cheek on my neck as he drifts off to sleep and wait for that sly smile as he looks up at me after a nap.

After a 45 minute nap Josiah woke up to eat and while eating we both fell asleep in the chair. He would wake up and eat a little more and then we would drift off once again. When we finally woke up I looked at the clock to find we had been sleeping there for 2 hours. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

I took to many pictures again today...here are a few.

Chilly Days and Christmas Trees

My sweet little Josiah is 5 months now. Wow. He has 2 teeth coming boldly into this world  (with which he loves to bite any unexpecting fingers) and a few more timid teeth that are secret agents. His hair is growing in and officially looks like a hair piece. He is getting very close to sitting up by himself, and if it wasn't for that pesky wind blowing every which way he might already be able to. I spent some time today taking pictures of my little munchkin with my early Christmas present...a Very nice camera. (Insert: Thank you Brian, you are the BEST)

The sun was bright and the wind was chilly....and with that combo Josiah was not in the mood to smile pretty, but he's still cute. :)

Well after a few minutes we were both a little chilly, so we went inside, but on some warmer clothes and played a little more. Josiah was in such a sweet quiet mood today.

After the little guy went to bed, Brian and I set up the Christmas tree. I kept thinking about how next year Josiah will be walking around helping up decorate for Christmas....and probably breaking a few ornaments!

This is a nativity scene that my grandma painted many years ago.
