Happy travellin'

Just for fun...

Joshua has taken a liking to tugging hair and smiling at his reflection.

Today, Joshua visited the Tidal Basin and the Jefferson Memorial for the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Here he is getting a close up look at some of the first of this year's blossoms.

Joshua has a new toy (pictured), a mini piano that plays music and lights up when either the keys are pressed or dangling components are pushed far enough in the proper direction. Presently, Josh's parents are as enamored with this incredible device as he is - or perhaps more. Here you can see Joshua's wingspan. If this were to scale, his arms would stretch beyond the 88 keys of a full-size piano! Could even Van Kliburn claim such a reach? And I wonder if Van Kliburn's arms are at least 2/3 as long as his legs? Infant proportions are quite amazing!

Joshua's persistent efforts to master his pop-up toys, such as the one pictured here, remind us of The Little Engine that Could. "I think I can, I think I can...."

On this date in 1982...

We hope you enjoy a wonderful day!
Love,
Chris, Maria, and Joshua

"Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff...." (Pooh, that is.)

A Minnesota Moment

Joshua was sporting these socks yesterday, in honor of Twins' baseball hero Kirby Puckett, who passed away on Monday.

Kickin' back on a Sunday afternoon.

To Have and To Hold

Watch me grab these toys!

Joshua continues to love bears...sometimes a little too much!

Squeaky clean!

Wow! Joshua is 3 months old today (which begs the question, when does a baby born on January 31 turn 1-month-old?). Smiles are abundant now. We are grateful for our happy boy.
