Quig...Love ya!

My grandfather passed away this week. He was the most amazing man I have ever met. Matt & I share our wedding anniversary with him and his lovely wife. I just wanted to quickly let everyone know how incredible he is.

First of all as a child he always snuck me out of the living room and gave me more candy, even after Grandma said no more. He let me tease him about how he had no hair and laughed constantly with me.

When Matt and I moved up here I started taking care of him M-F. Grandpa started to recognize my car and one day Matt took my car and made a surprise visit. He came out to greet who he thought was me but found Matt. Matt said he was talking and looking very disappointed about why I wasn't there and what he was doing there and where was I.

While helping my grandfather wash his hands I was hit by a surge of saliva. I started to laugh, more at being confused and then being spit at. I asked him why he did that because he was smiling. I then said, did you think you were brushing your teeth? He said Yes, and started to laugh hysterically. We both laughed for a while.

When I was pregnant I was so sick. I happened to be over there to watch the BYU football game and started to feel really sick. I decided to have Matt take me home but on our way out he stopped us. I said I didn't feel well and made a sad face. He immediately came over and gave me a hug and said, Yes, Yes, and padded me on the back. He really looked like he sympathized with my pain. Even after being a stroke victim he was attentive to others.

Love you forever!

Getting Bigger

At his two month check-up Joshua was 13 lbs, and 22 1/2 inches. He is huge! He was in the 75% for weight and the 50% for height. He is growing so fast and has almost offically moved from newborn onesies to 3 month ones.



This is him in 3 month clothing. His belly is a little too big but his legs are too short for older clothing.

Getting ready to take Joshua out in the cold. He doesn't like wearing his body suite but I like it because it keeps him warm.

My adorable little boy.

Getting the Hang of Motherhood

Joshua loves our bed. I know, he doesn't sleep in it with us EVER but takes snaps on top of the covers. But it is a magical place because he always goes to sleep when he is laid there.

Joshua loves his swing. It has saved us countless times!

More cute bed pictures. Isn't he adoreable!

There are many things that I have learned so far while trying to be a mom. Here are the top 5 things:

1. My life is not my own anymore

2. The days of being selfish with my time are over

3. Sleeping for more than 6 hours straight won't ever happen

4. Costco has the best wipes and diapers

5. I will always scream when he pees on me...it is like a perfect TALL fountain, which is always headed toward my face.

I really have enjoyed being a mom and can't believe that I am one. Joshua is worth all the work. Everytime he smiles at me I just fall to pieces. I love him & Matt so MUCH!

p.s. the sixth thing would be that I am so LUCKY to have an amazing husband!
