More Pictures

Things have been going pretty well at the Vander Pol house. Josiah is still little but sleeps well. All his body functions work now... You forget what fresh baby poop smells like, but when you smell it you remember pretty quickly.

Josiah has a bit of a cold that he probably picked up from one of his siblings or his parents, but since I am the one who usually breaks the no kissing rule it is probably me. I love kissing my new babies...

Now to the pictures.

The kids were enjoying playing on the mattress.
Jumping and bouncing.
We seem to be the only people who keep a mattress around to play on.



Rolling.
