The Goodman Times

We had another great weekend at home.  Joey loves standing up, with the ottoman supporting him.  Sometimes he can even last a few minutes on his own!

Pip has finally settled into his new home…It definitely took him the longest, but now he’s appreciating the extra space, all-stone bathroom (keeps him cool at night) and our new king size bed so he doesn’t get kicked off as quickly each night. 

Joey wearing his new Elmo shirt from Bubbie.  Elmo is definitely his FAVORITE character these days.  He has a ton of Elmo books a few stuffed animals (that he loves to suck on). 

We get up early each morning just to have some time to play with Joey before we have to head to work…I never thought I’d look forward to morning time (especially that early!)

Football Sunday in the Goodman household is definitely the easiest way to execute successful tummy-time!

Last night I attended the JNF dinner with most of my family.  Greg stayed home to “babysit” Joey.  Little did I know, my dad spoke and was honored at the event…Go Zeyda!!

We had another playdate with Sam Smiley this week.  The boys had a great time staring each other down. 

Like father like son…

I Love Mom and Dad

Joey still isn’t loving tummy time, but he’s still working hard…

Tummy Time

Lately, every time I put him on his tummy, he rolls over

Rolling Over

Labor Day weekend was a lot of fun!  The weekend kicked off with dinner with Grandma and Grandpa.  Joey was a perfect angel, as always!  After dinner, we took him to the park to go down the slide.  He was exhausted so he didn’t have much of a reaction, but we had fun!

Quality time with Grandpa

Saturday morning we watched our cousin, Hana, become a Bat Mitzvah.  It was really neat to watch, as I’ve known her since she was a baby.  Joey got dressed up for the event (and looked super-cute).

We were able to spend some quality time with our cousins at the lake on Sunday, too!

Finally enjoying tummy-time!

Joey’s First Keg Stand

Joey began holding his own bottle this weekend.  We can’t wait until this becomes a regular thing! I’ve already began dreaming of what I can do with 2 free hands during every feeding!

Joey loves laughing at Stacy!

J-O-E-Y

Since our aweosme nanny isn’t available to begin watching Joey until mid-September, our parents stepped up and have been watching Joey the past few weeks.  Nonny and Bubbie have taken a few days and Grandma and Grandpa even took a day! 

Nonny and Joey did a lot of tummy time!

Tummy Time!

Each day, I race out of school to get home to put Joey down for his 3:15 nap!

I went back to work this week. I can’t believe I’ve been home with Joey for 3.5 months! It’s definitely a change, but the first few days have gone well.  Now if we could just get Joey to sleep through the night 🙂
