Joey is 10 months old!

Our bouncing baby boy is growing and growing. LOL a member from my mom's ward made a big deal over him and asked for a high five from his bear claw. It's true, he is a solid, happy, healthy boy. He has a lot of muscle and is just anxious to be on the move, trying to keep up with his big sister. They have a lot of fun and wrestle with each other. He has started to stand up for himself and play back. Addie LOVES it. They get each other giggling pretty good. The first thing Addie does when she gets up in the morning or from her nap is "Where's Jo Jo (it almost sounds like Doe Doe?". I guess our official nickname for him has transferred to Jo Jo.

He said Mama and Dada, but now he is just babbling away, with a few squeaks and squeals too. He still has 6 teeth. He is eating solids like a champ and is only taking 3 bottles a day 4-8 oz, depending on his mood. He seems to love everything, except broccoli (which we can get him to eat if it's mixed up in other foods). He LOVES being in the tub, shower, any of it. And it seems like barely warm water is the best, he even prefers cool water to normal warm water. The two kiddos really have fun together in the bath.

He does really well with picking up food and feeding himself. He is learning how to use the sippy cup. He mostly likes to shake it so water comes out of the cup, or fill his mouth up to spill it all over himself. But he is learning, so that makes me happy. Addie is a champ at drinking water, and is always requesting it. She doesn't seem to like juice, which is fine with me. The doctor says that's a healthy habit so I am hoping for the same with him.
