Josh had his 1 yr check-up the very next day and he weighed in at 18 lbs and 29 in long. Meme will be happy to know that his height bumped up from the 10th percentile to the 25th percentile this visit! It looks like he's following in his cousin Katie's footsteps though in the weight department, lol. Grandma and Grandpa were traveling back from Chicago on Josh's birthday, bringing a very special birthday present back with them, so we're going to be celebrating with cake and presents this weekend. More pictures to come on this topic!
In other news, you all know by now that we sold just about everything we owned before moving out to California in the Civic and Corolla... here is a picture of us moving into the apartment - everything we owned is in this picture, including the kid.
We made our monthly trip to Costco this week. We, like any other family nowadays, are always looking for ways to make our dollars go farther. This month we opted to buy produce in bulk from Costco instead of bi-weekly from the grocery store or local market. Believe it or not, a 10 lb bag of carrots costs the same at Costco as a 2 lb bag does at the grocery store... this, along with celery, green beans, corn, apples and bread was bought in bulk, chopped up and frozen in dinner-size portions for later. Here's how the freezer looks all stocked up.
I know, there should be WAY more ice cream, but all the butter goes to cookies. :) Mike did all the hard work of course, peeling the carrots and apples.
Last but not least, who knew a basket could be so much fun?
