Joshua is 5 weeks

Gosh, time does fly by so fast. Our little guy is literary getting big everyday in front of our eyes. Yesterday I was browsing through Joshua's pictures and I can't believe the changes he is going through with every new week of his young life. He is definitely developing so fast emotionally and physically. During this week Joshua has been smiling and laughing a lot not necessarily at us but when you catch these smiles and laughs they are so cute!! He has started making different kinds of noises too especially when he is playing and flexing his arms and feet. When you place him on his chest, he can lift his head up and from side to side. In addition, he can also lift his chest up. Soon he may start to roll over lol! So much happening so fast......

Here are updates of Joshua's pictures.

Taking a nap with daddy.... the two look so cute, content and very peaceful too... definitely a loving sight to behold!

Joshua is one month already!

Wow, how time flies! I can't believe our little boy is 4 weeks old already! I can tell you this: being a parent is an amazing, yet overwhelming endeavor. I wish I could put into words how much we love this little boy we have been blessed with, but I can't...it wouldn't even come close to the emotions I feel. He is such an amazing baby and has been sleeping relatively well except when he has those baby melt downs! We are just so blessed to have him here!! :) Nothing though prepares you for the experience of being a parent!!!! It can be an emotional roller coaster sometimes.... the baby melt downs and a few scattered sleepless spells do not help!

So Joshua had his first bath after his umbilical cord fell off. Jonathan gave him his first bath. It was an amazing spectacle watching my husband give our son his first bath :) Joshua did not fuss at all, he just enjoyed the bath the whole way through. I think if he could speak, he could have requested to stay there for as a long as possible... or until he needs to feed :) Jonathan has been fantastic with him during his baths.... It is a special time for dad and son to bond. These daily baths have been wonderful to not only watch the content in Joshua and Jonathan's emotions but they have also helped Joshua sleep better through the night :) After the baths, he gets so tired and just doses off.... very nice!

Here is a picture of him during his very first bath.... He absolutely loves when daddy bathes him!!! You can see the contentment in his face lol :) So, bath time is definitely a wonderful time for everyone!

He still loves the swing and so do we!!! Despite the winter cold, the glass doors do let in a lot of sunshine which he absolutely enjoys sunbathing... well, could the skin tan be from the result of this???? Just kiddin!

So here is a picture of Joshua when we just arrived over at Nana Debby's house. He is still sleepy from the ride over lol!
