Easter and other things

We found the cat in Joey's crib and let him in there to play with her. She wasn't amused.

We had pictures made at Walmart on Saturday, so we dressed Joey up in his Easter clothes, Look at his cute tie! He's not wearing the hat in these pictures, you'll have to wait and see it when we get the pics back. Good thing we dressed him up saturday, b/c sunday he was still too sick to go to church, so he didnt dress up on Easter. we didn't really do anything different for Easter this year. He had gotten his Easter basket from Grandma last month when we were in, so we didnt even do that. poor guy. ;-)

We had to buy this huge basketball for Joey. He loves balls, but every one we get him Thor busts, so this is the only one big enough to keep blown up and safe from the dogs. They still try, though.

Also, Joey wasn't feeling that great when we had his pictures made, so we couldn't even get many smiles out of him. but the photos will be great anyway! just wait till you see them!

I can't believe how fast our boy is growing. He's almost 8 1/2 months old now! He'll be walking soon! He's trying so hard. I'd say in the next couple months he'll be running me wild all over this house.


Earl being silly.

Happy Birthday NAN!

Happy Birthday Nana! If I were there, I'd throw a BIG party, with LOTS of cake and ice cream, and all your family. We love you! Can't wait till our next visit! Joey misses his Great Nana!

Expecting a flood Pawpaw?

Whoo whoo! look at those legs! You're a hottie Nan!

Happy birthday! hope it was special, because you're so special.

Camping

We went camping this weekend, Joey's first camping trip! We used Earl's new van:

The tent was just to mark our spot when we took the van out to the store. but Joey used it to play in for about 5 minutes, then he was bored with it.

this is the bed in the van.

Joey's now 8 months old!!! He's doing so good on his standing. He's gone a couple steps holding onto furniture, but mostly he tries to stand on his own. He'll try to balance like a surfer. Its fun to watch. He just lets go, and thinks he can hold himself up. He usually stays up for about 15 seconds or so, then drops to his butt! Then gets up to try it again!

He eats veggies now! and some meat flavored baby food. in fact, there's nothing he won't eat now. sometimes he doesnt want to eat much, but he doesnt' refuse any baby food anymore! yay! still no teeth. and no 'ma-ma'. soon.

next week is Easter. Just wait till you see his easter outfit!
