I'm Smiling!!!

So, I decided to start smiling this past weekend. I smiled for Mom & Dad for the first time on Sunday...Dad finally caught me on camera this morning. The angle isn't the best, but you can definitely see what a great smile I have!

Born to Ride

It's been pretty cool here in St. Louis the past few mornings. Chilly enough that Josiah has gotten to wear his Harley-Davidson booties on our walks! Thanks to Auntie A.K. and Uncle Scott, Josiah is not only warm, but also stylin'. Do you think his car seat will fit on the back of your bike, Scott?

Kami is visiting for a few days...here she is holding Josiah for the first time...

Look At What I Can Do!

I'm learning all kinds of new things this week...

First, I have started taking a bottle. Well, trying to anyway. Sometimes I like it and other times I throw a big fat temper tantrum. Looks like Mom & Dad are going to keep trying it though...now I know where I get my stubbornness.


I'm also learning to play on my Baby Einstein mat. This morning I narrowly escaped an attack from a giant lady bug, but other than that I am having fun with it...

We'll keep you posted on other fun new things I'm doing!

Church Clothes

We got a few photos of Josiah in his church outfit. We have successfully made it through 2 services- and we even made it there on time today! Here he is:

The many faces of Josiah

You might have been wondering...where the heck have the Woods been? They haven't posted new pictures of Josiah in 4 or 5 days! Well, sadly, nothing too exciting has happened this week. We went a couple days without even picking up the camera! Shocking, I know. We've been on lots of walks, run some errands to thrilling places such as Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and sat on the front porch glider. Josiah did attend his first RUF large group on Tuesday night, so he heard some quality hymns and part of a sermon (he decided he wanted to be outside for the other part of the sermon). Despite this whirlwind schedule (yes, I know you're wondering "they go to one place a day, how on earth do they do it?!?"), Andy managed to capture some of Josiah's many facial expressions yesterday.

I think he's about to do a cheer in this one...or show off his bulging biceps

"I'm just lying here, being cute and content"

"Gimme Five"

Deer in the Headlights

Just relaxin'

"My close-up...do you think a modeling career is in my future?"

"I totally just did something mischievous...and now Daddy gets to change me"

"The Thinker"

"I am so done with this picture-taking thing. Somebody, please put me to bed"

Hope you enjoyed seeing some of the funny stuff we see daily. We'll try to do something exciting over the weekend for the sake of the blog! Have a great Friday!

Is this what we have to look forward to?!?

(If we had to choose one, this is definitely our favorite Campbell picture)


She is too cute! These shots are taken (stolen) from Em's facebook page- hope she doesn't mind. Campbell is about 9 1/2 months now and if these pictures are any indication, life with Josiah is gonna get a whole lot more fun!

Our Weekend

Well, we've had a fun weekend here in St. Louis and wanted to share some pictures!

On Friday night, Tyler and Shannon came over for dinner and to hang out with Josiah (and us too, I think). They brought fabulous steaks and we had a great time...

On Saturday, Josiah and Andy got the traditional afternoon nap on the couch...

Doesn't he look great in his new camo outfit? We hit a big sale at Old Navy for one of our "outings" this week. Trying to get out of the house at least once a day :)

Josiah lost his umbilical cord on Thursday, so we can finally give him real baths! He loves the warm water and splashing around. Last night was no exception as he got one before bed...

Thanks, Tammy!

Tammy Seaman, Andy's aunt, painted this beautiful picture for Josiah's room. We love it! Thank you so much.

If you click to enlarge the image, you can see that even Bella made it into the painting! We knew she'd be famous someday...

Family Pics

We decided it was time for some family pictures...Josiah can't be hogging the spotlight all the time!

The Whole Gang

Now what is this I smell?!? Bella utilizing that keen hunting dog nose...

Look out Kelly Slater, here comes Campbell Cummings

Just give her a little more practice, and then stay out of her way!


She is way too cute!

Gram and Pop, and a few close-ups

Gram and Pop arrived Saturday morning and we have had a great visit. With all their previous experience with Campbell, they are professionals here. We have really appreciated their help and have loved them being here. Here are a few pictures:








And here are some pictures of Josiah's last few days:
