December 2011

We have started December off with a little play date (mommy adult time) with a trip to see Santa Claus.  Joey and Lukas slept through the big moment.

I love babies in overalls and got really excited when Joey was finally able to fit into a pair of his.

Early in December Aunt Courtney and I took Joey to look at the Christmas Trees at Longwood Gardens.  Joey did so great!  We took him during the day to avoid the crowds.  Hopefully next year we can take him at night to see the lights all over the garden grounds.

We spent Christmas Eve with our friends Bill and Kym.  Kym made a feast of 7 fishes and we watched Bill's favorite movie, The Christmas Story.  It was fun to spend Christmas Eve with the Bym's.

We had a great time this year for Joey's first Christmas.  He got a mirror - which he loved from mommy and daddy; and he got the book Polar Express from Santa.  Joey was happy and full of smiles on Christmas, unless he was sleeping.  We think he is going through a growth spurt because he is sleeping a lot lately.  Ed's parents came over in the afternoon and spent the rest of the day with us.

We hope everyone had a nice Christmas, I know we did!!!  We got the best Christmas present - our little Joey.

November Happenings

November has been a pretty busy month for us in Delaware.  We had family pictures with Mark when Joey was 10 days old, dinner at a friend's house, play date with Evan, Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping and a trip to Paccar.  

We've been trying to get as much sleep as possible and have been working on getting on some sort of schedule.  So far, Joey's favorite past time is to sleep.  He loves sleeping during the day and wants to tell stories at night.  Here are a few pictures from the month.

I put his wrist rattles on him with hopes that he would wake himself up if he fell asleep.

  

Joey will only let mommy put him to sleep at night.  

He wanted to try on his Thanksgiving Day outfit and I was able to get a picture of him with his eyes actually open.

This was taken right after he ate (he's in a food coma) and he was ready to go to Uncle Rob's for dinner.

Thanks to Aunt Becky Joey was able to have two outfits for Thanksgiving, and he needed them!

Someone was a little wiped out from shopping for a couple hours on Black Friday.

This is one of Joey's favorite spots, sleeping in mommy's arms.

Here he is ready for car shopping.

This was his play date with Evan, who is 12 days younger than Joey.

Its hard to imagine my little guy is already a month old!!  He is weighing 10lbs 5oz and he gained an inch in length.  I can't believe how much he has gown in the past month.  He loves to tell stories and he makes some of the best little faces.  His favorite noises to make are grunts and farts....such a little man.  Haha  I can't wait to see what he will do next month!
