Baby Jo...seph

I was talking to baby Joseph this week and I called him "Baby Joe", it's cute, right? Keep in mind that we have not let Madeline be called anything but Madeline because we are not fans of Maddy or any other shortened version of her name. We know that eventually it will probably happen, i.e. when she goes to school, but we named her Madeline because we loved it not because we loved Maddy. And she has caught on, she corrects grown-ups all the time, and is not shy about it, which, of course, we LOVE, our self-confident little 3 1/2 yr old! So when I called my beautiful new boy, "Baby Joe", Madeline hesitated for a second, looked at me weird, and then said "seph" completely satisfied with herself. Well, I just laughed out loud. At least I know I will have someone to take care of me when I forget my keys and to put my dentures in when I'm old and especially to help me when I don't call people by their full names! (It reminded me of the part in 'Waiting for Guffman' where the lady says "Keanu Reeve...es..")

So anyway, here's pictures of our beautiful 6 week old boy:
Trying to get that head up! Actually this is pretty weak sauce for him, he can hold his head up pretty well- he's been working on it since day 1!

Joseph is such a good baby! He just eats, sleeps and poops! He hardly cries at all, and has just become the love of my life these past six weeks. He is so good, and I am so grateful to be his mama!

This picture was taken seconds before I collapsed on that bed behind me (obviously!), but what a cutie-bam-boodie! Adam couldn't help but take this picture of our little baby burrito!

My cute boys! Don't they look alike? I mean, besides the obvious hairline... hehe;)
