Joey is 11 months old!!

Wow, I feel like this winter has dragged by, but then when I think about my baby boy being almost a year old I guess it really has flown. He is getting so big, and independent, and I just can't believe it. Just a week ago I walked into his room to get him up for the morning, and he was standing up in his crib!! This is the first time he has stood up using something. I was so excited for him and he was so proud of himself. I sat in the rocking chair cheering him on, and I felt a little sad. I LOVE the 3 month plus baby stage. They are so much fun and I adore their cute happiness. They seem easy to please. The more independent and mobile they are, the harder it seems to please them and they get more moody.....

I'm not going to lie, if I could keep them at 6 months forever, I would!! It's almost tempting to have another baby, but they would grow up too. LOL, I said ALMOST TEMPTING!! But I'm not up for it yet. He's gotten to the point that he wants to be going, going and so church is becoming a challenge. It's a good thing he's so cute and social. The ladies in the ward adore him! And everybody comments on his beautiful blue eyes.

He just got his 7th tooth, the bottom second from the middle on his left side. He has seemed to be teething for a month now, so it's been a relief to get it in. His hair is really coming in! It's so blonde, he hardly seems like the same baby when he was born. I will need to give him a haircut sometime before his birthday.

He can wave, clap and feed himself for awhile now. I keep forgetting to write it down. He is a big eater, probably bigger then his sister was. He loves everything, but not broccoli so much.

He is starting to defend himself and play back with Addie. They are pretty cute and play hard. Sometimes too hard which ends in frustration on his part. But they are good friends. They seem the happiest when they are up together. Addie is very protective of her brother and tries to help him when she can.

About 2 weeks ago I looked over and he was on his tummy, I watched in the corner of my eye, half paying attention to him and suddenly he was on his bum sitting up by himself!! He was so smooth and quick, it looked like he had been doing this for months. And maybe he has and we haven't seen him. He does it all of the time now and seems to think he's pretty great. He also is using the toy totes to stand up and gets very excited at any chance he gets to try and stand. What a handsome big boy!!



I couldn't resist, they are just so cute playing in the tub!! But all essentials are covered, so these are for momma. Their cuteness must always be remembered, I love them so much
