What has been happening in my life? I am enjoying being a wife and mom so so much! I love it! Andre is an amazing husband and Joshua is such a sweet little guy. There are adjustments involved in being a mom like all changes, but they are worth it. I am going to be a part of the MOPS program at our church this year. I am really looking forward to that. I think it will be good to get to know other stay at home moms in our church.
It seems things have been so busy lately. We went to PA last weekend (first overnight trip for Joshua) to surprise a good friend who is in the army and fixing to be deployed. It was a lot of fun and Joshua did great! He was very popular. Dad, Mom and Katie are coming next week for several days! I can’t wait to see them! It will be so so good. I think there is a beach trip planned in there somewhere! Yay!
Mostly I am just going about day to day doing homemaker things. Some days I look back and think “what did I accomplish today?” Time is flying. I can’t believe how big Joshua is getting. He really likes to smile. He started laughing at us as well. There is nothing as contagious as a baby’s laugh. You just have to laugh with them. He decided he does like baths now, splashing in the water is fun. He is trying to roll over, but hasn’t figured that one out yet. He is so cute!
So that seems to be my life right now and I am loving it! God is so so good to us!
I have been so busy growing that I haven’t had time to write anything!!! Lets see, I am now smiling at anyone who will talk to me and even sometimes when they don’t talk to me! When I was at the Doctor’s a week and a half ago, I weighed 11lbs 2oz! I had to get bigger diapers this week cause I had outgrown mine. I thought Mommy was going to cry.
It was a little hard to adjust to just having Mommy here after all my wonderful adoring fans left. I like being held a lot! Mommy and I get along fine though. She likes to play with me. I look forward everyday until when Daddy gets home! He is so funny! We like sticking our tongues out at each other. Like this
My nursery is all set up minus the crib (as soon as Mommy decides which one she wants, we will get that). I heard Mommy and Daddy talking about rearranging everything again…
Well, I am falling asleep while we talk. I think it is nap time! I will let you see my muscles though and how big they are (I like showing them off!).
So, my gifting is NOT in finances. Accounting is a nightmare for me. I spent some time last weekend with a buddy working on his MBA “Accounting Principals” homework and it blew my mind. However, I found the most amazing tool today. www.mint.com Its an amazing budgeting and tracking site. It syncs (securely) with your bank and tells you all about where your money goes! It is brilliantly designed, beautifully crafted, and incredibly helpful. Best of all, its free! Check it out… www.mint.com
I know, I know. I am a bit small to be posting on blogs, but think about who my daddy is (ok, so mommy helped me a little on this post). I will be keeping you all updated on my growth and accomplishments. Right now I pretty much eat, sleep and make presents in my diapers. I do like to smile in my sleep and sometimes I even laugh. Daddy and Mommy like to say I am smiling at them, so we will just let them believe that. I am really enjoying my Nana and Auntie Katie being here! I can’t wait to see Paps! I also can’t wait until my Grandma comes to see me in a couple of weeks! Yesterday I was facinated with my hands, I haven’t quite figured out that I am the one moving them around. I heard Mommy say she was going to give me a bath this afternoon. I don’t really like them a lot, but I do like to get all snuggly and smell clean afterwards. Well, I need to finish my nap! Talk to you all later!!!

PS Next time I will post a picture of me I am waiting for Auntie Katie to put her latest cute ones of me on the computer. She sure is good at taking pictures!
So, Andre told me I had to post on here too… Any of you who read my xanga know I was not very faithful at posting. I do hope to be better on here. I am looking forward to having this family blog site. I think it will be fun. OK, I think that is all for now… Stay tuned to see a post from Joshua coming soon!
I have made several changes to the blog forwarder. These include:

This is the new www.andre-and-katrina.com! Since we have been married for 10 months now, I decided to take down the wedding site, and put up this blog. It will function as the personal blog for both Trina and I. We hope you enjoy it! Also, here is the slideshow of our son Joshua!
