I can not believe how fast time is flying by. On the 8th our little baby will be three months old. I look at newborns and it seems like just yesterday Joseph was that size! Is it too early to be getting baby fever?!?! This past three months has been a roller coaster ride but we are finally settling down into a routine and as a family. Joseph has made so many advancements in his little life of three months. He started sleeping through the night at one month old (other moms please dont hate me). The only way he would sleep through the night was in our bed tucked in beside Roland. And boy did I ever get an earfull about that. But, Joseph likes to prove people wrong and now at almost three months he has started sleeping through the night in his own bed! Now, just to get him in his own room. He has also rolled over from front to back, I seriously cried when he did, I was so proud of him. Recently he has really started to love his toys, one in particular which is his elephant he will just stare at it and pick it up and crinkle its ears. I never knew that I would be so proud of him playing with his toys!
I am getting close to my second goal with breastfeeding and like my mom kept telling me I would, I love it. It is so much easier and way more convenient! I am really enjoying this mom thing and am loving Joseph so much he has the greatest personality that is beginning to shine through. I can not wait for what else is in store for our family

I never thought it would be this hard to keep blogging after we had Joseph! I just can not seem to keep up and, not going to lie, I am pretty disappointed in us for our lack of blogging!
This past holiday season has been a pretty busy one. For my Grandmas birthday we went up to Parksville to have brunch with her and my aunts and uncles. It was really great seeing them because it has been forever. We got to see my cousin Zana who I hadn't seen since like 2008 so Roland hadn't met her yet.
On Christmas eve Roland, Joseph and I went over to my parents house. Tradition in my family on Christmas eve is to open one present from my dad which is always pajamas. I am a huge fan of this tradition. This year Joseph got the cutest little dinosaur pj's. Rolands and mine are also super nice (thanks dad!) On Christmas day we woke up bright and early...thanks to my mom, and we opened our stockings and our presents. Then at nine we went to my cousin Cory's to have breakfast, which was delicious. We went to my grandmas after to help set up her t.v stand and open the presents she got our family. For Christmas dinner my moms side of the family came over to my moms house and we had a amazing turkey feast it was absolutely delicious. In our family for Christmas dinner the person who hosts the dinner (this year my mom) makes the turkey, stuffing and gravy. We put the names of the rest of the dishes in one hat (potatoes, yams, dessert etc.) and all the names of all the people that are coming to the dinner in another hat and draw. This year I got dessert and Roland got veggies, which he switched with my cousin Shannon (that's cheating by the way.) I made pecan pie. I was freaking out all the way up to Christmas because pecan pie looks so hard to make but it was actually really easy and perfectly delicious!
On December 29th we went over to Vancouver to spend five days at Rolands parents house.
It was really nice to be able to spend some time with them since they hadn't seen Joseph since he was two weeks old and he had changed so much since then. It was a nice break for us as well. It was really nice also because Michelle, Juston and Jordan were down from Vernon as well so the whole family was together. I never thought I would miss living over there but I do sometimes! We had to come home on the second because Joseph and I had a Doctors appointment.
As much as I love the Christmas holidays I am so relieved that they are over and only come once a year!

Last Saturday Roland, Joseph and I went to Deanna McCollum's home studio to get our photos taken. It was really fun and I was so proud of Joseph. He was so calm and would let Deanna put him in any position she wanted to. I am absolutely in love with the pictures she took. She is so talented! Here is a link to her website http://www.deannamccollum.com/ and also a few of the pictures from the day.
