Mother's Day

The Incredible Traveling Baby

On Easter night we made an impromptu decision to travel to Atlantic City the next morning and take Joey to see the beach.  The weather has been beautiful so we thought it would be nice.  I love that we, as a couple,  are still willing to be spontaneous even with our eight month old. People think that having a baby has to change this type of thing but it really doesn't. Especialy not if you have an incredible traveling baby.

J digs hotel rooms.

The beach was wonderful and we had so much fun!  I wish we could make this an annual tradition but I don't think it will work when I'm back to teaching.  The weather was warm, but the water was cold!! There was a family with little kids who were playing in the ocean like the water was 85 degrees.  Joey didn't seem to mind the temperature either.  It made me feel old!

 

We went to the aquarium.  They had this cool tank where you could touch the baby sting rays.  They really were so cute, they kept coming up to us like they wanted to be pet.  I think I was the most freaked out to touch one, but I did it anyway.

Girls?!?

We had a lunch date with friends today

Look at J's face. It's like he is thinking 'What are you doing!'

Katie was so cute and sweet today.  She loved Joey and she especially loved his shoes. 

J, on the other hand, was not quite as thrilled.

Joey is very quiet and passive with other babies.  He kind of just sits and takes them in.  I'm not sure if this is because I stay home with him and so he's not around other little people as much as he would be if he went to daycare, or if this is just his personality.  Time will tell.

Someday he will be much more excited to be showered with feminine attention. :o)

Wild Child

This wild child totally

enjoys having his little baby feetsies kissed

a little too much!

He's a riot.

On a seperate note,

what child enjoys sucking on their pacifier like this?!

B-A-NA-NA-S!

Joey tried a real banana today.

The verdict was mixed.

Ha.

Maybe the ones in jars taste different?!?

Child's Play

It so much fun watching Joey play now.

He has recently really started playing on his own and loves to explore his toys.

This house that J got for Christmas really does have to be one of the best baby toys out there.

Obviously Joey enjoys his house :o)
