Happy Easter with the McEwens

For this post, I decided to start with a newly acquired skill for Joshua. Although it isn't a very good picture, Joshua found his thumb and sucked it for a few moments. It was quite cute and hopefully will be helpful for self-soothing for sleep training. :)

This past week Dave's family has been visiting and staying with us. Dave's parents came from Florida and his sister, Debbie flew all the way from Italy to meet Joshua. I don't think anyone was disappointed in the little man!

Here is Dave with Joshua during our picnic at Mount Diablo State Park on Easter Sunday.


Joshua in his Easter outfit with Daddy and his Easter basket. The basket was filled with candy (for the adults of course). Joshua also got the rattle ball sitting next to the basket for Easter. His Grandma and Grandpa gave his a cute bunny that makes noise and lights up. His Tutu and GG sent him an outfit and turtle swim trunks with a matching t-shirt in anticipation of our trip to Las Vegas over memorial day. Oh yes, and to use in our pool too when the weather gets warmer.

A family photo

Joshua was pretty mellow at the start of this photo session, but got sick of it relatively quickly.

Here Joshua hung out with Grandpa (and Grandma too) while Dave, Debbie and I went for a short outing.

Sometimes Joshua gets a little fussy in the evenings. When that happens, Daddy makes it all better by holding Joshua while sitting and bouncing on the plyoball.

Ken and Charlene brought Joshua this Gator outfit, so it seemed only appropriate that he should sent the Grandparents off for a safe trip home dressed in Gator gear.

I think Joshua has a big fan. :)
