September 1, 2008

This was the end of our time living in Utah. We moved in with my parents for a  few days.  I nursed a baby, Brian got stuff ready for the packers (can I just say that being moved is awesome especially when you don't have anything valuable and you just don't want to deal with it).  We had to get some pictures in before we left for New York.
Here is the one nap he took that whole day, babies love sleeping with Brian. He has big head pattern baldness going on here.

Here he is with his Grandpa.

Since Joshua only took the one nap that day, he crashed in the middle of the photo session. Here is Aunt Emily.

And Grandma

He then woke up and refused to sleep most of the night before we left.  I spent the night with him, so Brian could drive the next day.  Joshua was normally a really good sleeper, after he came home from the hospital I would usually get up once a night after I was asleep to feed him, and that would be it.  He was so awake, maybe he felt the vibes in the air and was anxious because he was going to be in the car for a very long time.

Here is the first extended family picture of the Barrington side, with Joshua in it.

August 03, 2008 Joshua with Possum

Joshua didn't end up with very many toys as a baby, because we moved a lot, and we were poor, and I hadn't figured out consignment sales yet.  Brian's mom sent Joshua a finger puppet opossum.  We used it for a long time.

August 03, 2008 Friends from the NICU

One of the only way we made it through the NICU time sanely was by making friends.  All of our babies were due within a few days of each other, but each came at their own earliness and with their own problems.  After we had all been home a while we got together to take pictures of all the babies together.

Joshua is on the left.  D is the little girl in the middle, and J and J are twins on the right.  Notice all the fun cords that we all got to drag around. 

Here is all of us families together.

And here is our family.
