Bathtub and the Beach!

I had to use some vaseline in his hair to help with his cradle cap and so we had fun (I had fun) playing with his hair!

he's laying on my belly.

sneezing.

flirting with the older girls, Allie and Allie.

Playing and Wearing Big Boy Shoes!

Joey is a crawling fool! he goes everywhere! he loves to crawl and loves to pull up on everything so he can stand. he's taken a couple steps holding onto the sofa, but nothing more than that. He still says Da-Da. He also says bah-bah, and bye-bye. And Earl said the other day Joey said Ki-Ki (kitty kitty...he actually know what it means. whenever I say Kitty Kitty, he looks around for Angie's cats. he loves them!)

Busted getting into the cabinet I told him not to.

Helping Daddy study.

He like standing like this and playing with whatever is next to the sofa...this stroller, or the vacuum cleaner handle, or whatever.

Crawling around on the sofa.

Kissing his ball. He LOVES balls!

All his 6-9 month pants/shorts are still a little too big for him. He doesn't have a big enough belly to fill them out! Ha ha.

He uses this toy to climb on and crawl up and hang onto. He also likes to lay on the ground and pick the legs up into the air. He looks like a little muscle man when he does that. I dont have a picture of that though.


Earl graduates next week from his course, so we're excited to be getting him back home more often! And I only have one more month (and a week) of college left. April 27 is my last day of classes, and on May 12th I'll be a college graduate (finally!!!) Speaking of college, I still have work to do and Joey just woke up from a nap. So thats the end of this update. :-)

Weekend Trips

We have been on the go the last couple weeks! First, just some pics from hanging out at home:

Me and Charity in Gatlinburg:

We had a great time in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but me and Charity both missed our little fellas (and our big ones). But it was nice to have the weekend away. Thanks Jason and Earl, for letting us go. And thanks for our babysitters! (grandparents ROCK!).

It was the first time I had ever left Joey overnight anywhere, and this was 2 nights!

Sunday in Barnardsville:

Joey kissing Akira.

Paige and Joey in her vehicle. They didn't go very far. She decided she wasn't ready to drive yet.

Earl has been in the field for most of last week, this week, and will be again next week. So we are really looking forward to him graduating this course he's in, at the end of the month!

And we just found out Angie will be heading to Iraq in July! I was just getting used to the thought of her being so close, at Ft Bragg later this year, but I guess she has to make a pitt stop in the war on the way here.

:-)

Anyhow, we've had lots of things going on lately, looking forward to some resting.

It was great to see everyone that we got to visit with, and the ones we missed (Jenny, Amanda, etc) ... we'll catch next time.

Love to all!
