Fall 2010

He always hides in the corner when I'm chasing him!

Sweet boy- he loves his belly button!

Here are a few photos I've taken so far this fall. The PJ ones were taken this morning, sort of an impromptu photo shoot! Joey is definitely becoming more vocal and is extending his vocabulary! He knows all of his grandparents, aunts and uncles by playing the matching game and he can even say some of their names. He's starting to put some words together like, "Keys for car", and "put shoe on/off" and "ba-you" which is his, "i love you". We've been going outside and playing soccer, swinging in the hammock, blowing bubbles, checking our ever growing tomatoes. He is a blast and is definitely keeping us entertained. For Halloween, he's going to be a chest xray! Stay posted for pix from that! When we took him to the pumkpin farm, he absolutely LOVED it. He has a book about pumpkins and he has been reading it constantly for several weeks now and loved being able to actually touch the pumpkins in the field.

His latest favorite thing is trains. He loves to throw his arm up and pull the whistle and say "choo choo". We found some Thomas the Train videos on netflix and anytime we go near the tv he starts "choo chooing", indicating that he wants to watch. We've been able to go to Barnes and noble quite a bit during the past few weeks, where they have a giant train table in the kids section. We can barely pull him away even after we've been there for over an hour. After only going twice (I think), right after we walked in the door of B&N he started "choo chooing"- he already knew where we were. His memory is incredible. He is getting more and more in to reading. He'll go over to his book basket and pull out a book that he wants you to read and come bring it to you and then sit in your lap. He's gotten to the point that he'll show us certain things in the books as we read, like we'd shown to him in the past.

Hope everyone is well. Talk to you soon!
