Ein Prosit, Ein Prosit, Der Gemutlichkeit!

A toast, a toast to happiness!


Josiah had a fun time at Denver's Oktoberfest, especially the part about sitting in the food tent and drinking his favorite beverage, Similac. We couldn't resist the merry-go-round but he's still just a little unsure of the fun factor.

Next year, Josiah will probably be riding on each of the carousel animals while singing his favorite oompa songs.

Ein prosit, ein prosit, der Gemutlichkeit!

Look Ma, I Found My Hand!

It's the first day of Autumn and Josiah is showing off his latest feat of dexterity...

He's found his hands and makes sure they're still there constantly by putting them in his mouth. He can also grab his toy, Chicken Lips, and bring it up to his face, wave it around wildly, and nimbly gnaw at it.

Talent, I say, the boy's got talent! (A Chicken Lips picture will be coming soon to a blog near you. )

Coffee and Similac, with Cousin Voni

Visiting from Seattle, cousin Voni takes time Monday morning for coffee with Josiah. It was great to get to hang out and chat about the half-marathon she just completed with Aunt Kellie, fun things to do in Seattle when we visit her, and compare notes on spiritual schools of thought.

As they say in Seattle and in the nursery, stay dry! :)

Bronco Sunday!

Go Broncos!

But first, a little brunch with the Dozier fam. The Golden Corral serves up just about anything you want for breakfast... except Similac. What's up with that?!?

Walking for JDRF

Not quite aware yet of the impact his participation has, Josiah accompanies Mom, Grandma, and cousin Taylor on the JDRF Walk for a Cure.

Though he slept through most of the walk, his heart was in it, and next year he can say...been there...done that.

Meeting New Friends

The annual Dolan party was so much fun with all of the new babies. Jarick gives Josiah some pointers about bib adjustment while mom, Shannon, looks on.

Hold Your Head High

4 months old today!

Josiah holds his head high as we celebrate his 4 month milestone... that's about 90 degrees, wouldn't you say?

In Training

Keeping up his training with some tummy time, Josiah does his best head lift for the camera. This awesome Adidas sweat suit is just a tad large on him, but it is fit for a 6 month old. At just under 4 months, it is clear that Big Jo is a name that fits, even if his clothes don't.

Happy Birthday, Anastasia!

There's nothing more fun than a good birthday party. Josiah had lots of fun at his big sister, Anastasia's 7th birthday party. There was cake, ice cream, and lots of Hannah Montana.

Hanging out with his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins was pretty awesome, too! Here, Josiah gets hugs from the birthday girl and cousin Monique.
