Quality Time with Aunt Michy

Posted on October 21, 2011 by jgoodman

It’s a good thing Billy works so hard, because it frees up Aunt Michy to come spend time with Joey after work. Aunt Michy fed, played with, bathed and put Joey to bed last night (and she did well!)

Joey Sitting Up

Posted on October 19, 2011 by jgoodman

Joey’s been sitting up for a few weeks now (began at about 4.5 months). Last, I was finally comfortable enough with his skills to step away from spotting and video tape.

Flexible Joey

We were planning to wait until 6 months to introduce anything other than milk, but Joey had a different plan. For the last week or so, he’s been reaching for our utensils, chewing when we chew and is so excited around food. We spoke with the doctor this morning who told us Joey was more than ready to begin with solids. He did great…Pippin did not. He was freaking out the entire time, wanting to get in on the action. Greg eventually had to take him outside so I could finish feeding him. Let’s hope he doesn’t make this a habit.

Yesterday, Aunt Lori and Uncle Vinnie took Joey to neighborhood day at Wrigley. They had an awesome time together running bases, taking pictures and checking out the field.

Sunday Funday

Posted on October 16, 2011 by jgoodman

We began our Sunday morning super-early but hung out in bed with Joey for a few hours just goofing around…

Joey’s learning to take his diaper off all on his own (we’re in trouble now!)

Greg’s shirt says it best: Mr. Messy

Bubbie and Zeyda brought over brunch and they got to hang with Joey before he went down for his nap. They loved his football spirit!

Like father, like son

Some bouncy time…

Story time before bed

It’s true….Daddy does change diapers 🙂

Joey was pooped and passed out while I was making his bottle

Lori and Vinnie had us for shabbat dinner tonight. Dinner was great, as always, and we were able to enjoy some time in the sukkah too!

Hey Poppy!

Posted on October 14, 2011 by jgoodman

Poppy took us out for my birthday on Thursday. Joey was a perfect angel at CarMichael’s, despite it being really loud/crowded because of all of the Hawks fans eating dinner!

These days, all Joey wants to do is stand

My favorite dessert…Apple Pie a la Mode 🙂

After dinner, we took the boys for a walk. It turned out to be a perfect fall evening…

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa in Arizona

Posted on October 11, 2011 by jgoodman

We had a great first visit to Arizona. Lots of relaxing and swimming in the pool! We also celebrated my 28th birthday out there!

On our way to birthday dinner. I think Joey knew it was a special dinner…He slept from the minute we walked into the door, until right after the bill was paid 🙂

Joey’s on such a schedule, that we were up each morning to watch the sun rise. Who thinks Daddy needs a haircut?!?!?!

Joey wrote his own birthday card for me and had a lot of fun opening and closing it!

The weather was perfect-not too hot, not too cold! We were able to enjoy dinner outside each night overlooking the pool.

Bev doing what she does best!

Joey went swimming in a pool for the first time. He was pretty indifferent at first, but then learned to splash and had a great time.

Joey really began trying to hold his bottle independently this weekend

First Airplane Ride

Posted on October 6, 2011 by jgoodman

We had our first plane ride and were pleasantly suprised by how smoothly it all went! Joey was an ideal baby on the plane and we only brought what we needed (which wasn’t much) so the shleping wasn’t as bad as expected!

We gave ourselves time on the front end (as we weren’t sure what to expect) and were able to sit down for dinner before boarding.

Joey on his first (and only) motorcycle…Never thought the airport would be such an entertaining place.

We boarded early so Joey had a chance to check out the scenery before take off. He was even able to entertain the baggage guys by cracking up every time they shined their flashlights in his direction.
