The first weekend in November we spent some time in Concord and Albemarle and had a great time. On Saturday we went to Holly and Ben's baby shower in Concord at Ashley's house. Their little boy is due Christmas Day!!! We cannot wait to meet him! Hurry up Baby Wyke!! Joshua is ready to play with his friend!! The shower was a lot of fun! We don't get to see those guys very often, so it's always a special treat to see them! Joshua was for the most part on his best cute-as-can-be behavior. Due to our running around everywhere he wasn't exactly on his normal schedule, so we had some fussy moments. We also got to spend lots of time with my family that day! It made for a great day!

We spent that night in Albemarle, and on Sunday we celebrated Gaga's (Derek's dad) birthday with Derek's family! Tabitha, Taylor and Riley were there. That was only the second time we've seen those girls since Joshua was born, so it was especially nice to get to see them! That was a wonderful way to finish up our weekend!!

This past weekend we didn't keep ourselves quite as busy. Friday night Derek went bowling with the middle school youth leaders from our church, so Joshua and I went to hang out with my friend Jen while the boys were out. Her husband is the middle school youth pastor. He was in a fine mood when we got there, and for most of the night. On Saturday Derek took him "camping" at Jordan Lake. Okay, maybe they didn't so much go camping, but they did go visit some of his college friends who were camping at Jordan Lake. Some of them hadn't met Joshua yet, so they had a lot of fun. Our good friend Jeff Knapp came over for dinner on Saturday night! It was so nice to see him, and we had a great time! Thanks for coming, Jeff!! He and Derek even pulled out the ping pong table that has been out of commission for a long while and played a few games.
Joshua will be 4 months old on Wednesday! I can't believe my baby is growing up so quickly. Sometimes it's hard to remember when he was a tiny little newborn. We're really enjoying the stage he's at right now, though! He is full of smiles and laughter all the time! He wants to roll over so badly. He is so close from going from his back to his tummy. He gets over on his side and then just hangs out that way. With just a tiny nudge he goes on over to his tummy. It won't be too much longer before he does it completely on his own! He did "accidentally" roll over from his tummy to his back on Wednesday (the 5th) last week. He did it at Nichole's house....yay for him, sad for mommy. She said she put him down on his tummy for just a minute and when she turned around he was on his back! I wrote this post last night and was still bummed about not seeing him roll over and then this morning while Joshua was throwing a small fit (I think he had gas) we put him on his tummy and he rolled over to his back twice!!
We go to the doctor next week for his 4 month appointment. I can't wait to see how much he weighs and how long he is. He has grown a lot from his 2 month appointment and is just so big now. I'll post his stats next week (hopefully!).
Check out our flickr page for more pictures. I'll try and do better with posting, but I can't make any promises. Until next time.....whenever that is.....
