Catch Up

Hi Joey,
2 weeks have gone by and I am a slacker on your blog.  Gosh, you are so much fun.  You are "talking" so much.  You will just lay there and talk & talk & talk.  You smile so much now!  When you smile, it lights up the whole room!  I love your dimples and cheeks.

You are reaching for my hands.  You are reaching for your toys.  But, what melts my heart the most is that you are starting to see Elijah.  You actually look at him.  You smile at him while he comes towards you.  I hope that you will always look at him with such love!

You had your formula appointment and your 4 month check up.  You are well over 17 pounds now!  You got your shots and were not a happy camper.

We also went on a road trip to Minnesota and you did so great in the car.  I was so worried about you fussing and you didn't fuss at all.  I guess you have outgrown your fussy stage!  You were able to meet your cousin Brian.  You were great at the soccer game - no fussing at all.  I was so proud of you.

Last night, you hung out with Auntie Val and Great Gramma.  Mommy and daddy went on a date.  I got a good report that you were very happy and playful.  I get so nervous when we leave you that I am going to get a bad report.  But, you were good and I was so happy because I want everyone to see how happy you really are.

We are hoping to go to Vala's this week and get some great fall pictures.  Then, at the end of the week, mommy is going to have surgery.  I am not nervous but I do get nervous with any worst case scenarios and leaving you.  I should be home and recovered by Saturday.  However, I can't lift you or your brother for several weeks.  That is going to be so hard for me because I love lifting you & giving you smooches. I will just have to have your daddy give you to me  :)

I love, love, love this photo of you!  We took all sorts of photos in Minnesota and it just happened to be your 4 month birthday.

We were all so happy to get this really cool photo of all the great grandbabies!

I love getting photos of you & your brother.

All of your itsy bitsy spider photos.

Some Disney photos

I love your face looking at Pooh!

Over Great Gramma's rocking the pink toga  :)  I am so sad that your hair is going away.  You still have some on top but the sides and back are really gone.  It is so hard because you had so much hair and now it is like a whole different Joey.


You flirting with the nurses at your formula appointment.


On the slide.  You love the slide.  I say "Ready? 1..2...3.." and you smile.  As you go down, you get a scared look on your face but you smile at the end.  It makes your hair stand on end.  :)

Weekend

Hi Joejoe,
We had a busy weekend!  Saturday, we finally got your talking on video.  You were so darn funny kiddo!



Then, we went to the zoo for the morning.  You didn't care about that too much.  You just hung out in the stroller and then the sling.  This is you on the skyfari ride.  You also did go on the slide a couple of times.


Today, daddy is in KC and Elijah is over Gramma's so we are spending the day together.  It has been so nice just being able to focus on you and spend time with you.  You make me smile buddy!  We went and got your Halloween photos taken.  Later, we are going to go to the gym.
