Well, It's been a while since we've written. (Sorry that my formatting is all messed up on this entry. I could keep spending time fixing it or just move on...I'm moving on) Joshua had his first trip back east. We flew to Virginia at the end of January. He did awesome on the plane. Coming back he was a little fussy, but still pretty good considering. I found that when you are near your gate and your child is screaming bloody murder it is slightly embarrassing. Everyone is waiting to get on the plane and have nothing else to do but stare at the drama...Otherwise, people were very helpful. An older gentlemen managed to get him to stop fussing by waving his fingers in Joshua's face.
We had a wonderful time visiting with family and friends.
Joshua got to meet his cousins, Issac and Adam. It was pretty funny to hear them oooh and aahh over "how cute" he was.
Mimi got to hold him lots and lots. On the trip home he kept looking at me as if saying, "Where's all the entertainment?" Fortunately he transitioned pretty quickly back into having to fall asleep without being held! He still misses his Mimi though.
As usual, Papa fell asleep at random times. I think this is the first time I've seen him do it at the computer. He's a lot like Joshua, one minute he's engaged in once going on around him and then before you know it he's nodded off.
Uncle Jeffrey was able to come into town. He learned the art of diaper changes.
One of the many highlights was a day trip up to West Virginia. I really wanted Joshua to meet my grandmother. We went to her assisted living home to visit and my aunt and uncle, and cousin, with her family, all got together for a lunch. It was so great to see everyone!
This is my cousin. She had a baby boy 6 days after Joshua was born! She has a four year old, 18 month old and now the newborn. She's superwoman!!! 
Joshua also got to meet lots of friends. I was able to break away for a day and go to a friend's wedding in North Carolina. Mimi, Papa, and Uncle Jeffrey babysat for the day.
