i'm a happy kid...

a really happy kid...

spring break and new milestones...

what a great week we had...mommy didn't work and we did all sorts of fun stuff...

on monday, me and nina wanted to go hang out at the mall...we asked our mommies to leave us alone so we could look cool and to meet us at the food court later, but they had something else in mind...


on tuesday, i went to visit my new friend nattie (yes, i know my head looks huge, don't remind me). we had so much fun! i can't wait to see her again!


on wednesday and thursday, me and neens (nina) went for long walks with our mommies. well, i guess we went for a stroll (er, get it?). we decided to ham it up and take some silly pics too!

i got a little hungry during our photo session...

on friday, we made soup at grandma tina and papa's house. i did most of the work.

on saturday, nana and gramps came in for a visit, and i showed them all my new tricks...like sitting up all by myself, 'crawling' backwards, holding my bottle all by myself, eating cereal as fast as gramps eats his dinner, and actually paying attention to my bedtime story and turning the pages (dad, be quiet! don't reveal the trick).

sunday was Easter. i was so good in church. then we all went to grandma tina and papa's house. once again, neens and i decided to ham it up. we even got our pal Aubrey to join in the fun. the proof is below!

and i think for the biggest milestone of them all...TODAY I CUT MY FIRST TOOTH!!!! time for some cookies :)

happy 6 month birthday, joey!

joey,

i thought i'd take a quick minute to write on your blog and wish you a happy half-year birthday! i cannot put into words how much joy you have already brought to me. the last 6 months have been some of the best of my life :) you warm my heart each morning when I see your bright eyes and hear your squeals and giggles, and each evening when I pick you up from Grandma Tina and Papa's house and you play "mommy, i don't see you".

i had no idea how absolutely wonderful motherhood would be, and it's all because of you!

oh, and your dad says "ditto" (lol). maybe in the next 6 months, we can get your dad to help you post a blog entry!!!! (lol again; mommy likes to help you!)

i love you so very, very much.

mommy
