Introduced Joey to the Northwoods

Posted on August 7, 2011 by jgoodman

We visited Camp Marimeta last week and had a blast!  Sandy and Terry were such great hosts and the Marimeta girls were crazy for Joey 🙂

Joey slept most of the drive-both ways!

He was a great road-tripper!

Watching Capture the Flag brought back such good memories!

No one could believe how happy Joey was all weekend long!

Joey met Jacqui for the first time this weekend.  We hit up the fudge shop in Eagle River…Joey loved all of the different colored taffy.

Joey Found His Thumb

Posted on August 6, 2011 by jgoodman

After about a week of trying and just falling short, Joey finally found his thumb today.  I think he’s enjoying it much more than his fist…

Racine County Fair

Posted on August 5, 2011 by jgoodman

The Silverman/Goodman/Panozzo crew explored the Racine County Fair last weekend…Wow, did it smell!  We saw the biggest cows EVER and I met way too many pigs.  We had fun playing carnival games and Aunt Cari won a jumbo elephant for Joey.

Joey Swims in Lake Elizabeth

Posted on August 1, 2011 by jgoodman

W got the approval from the doc for Joey to finally swim in the lake.  He ABSOLUTELY loved it!  He hated being in his swimsuit, so we had him just go in his diaper.  The water was so warm, it felt just like the bathtub to him!

Aunt Cari has been spending a lot of quality time with Joey lately.  She can get him to laugh for her on demand.  See below…

He was so wiped from his day out on the boat-he just passed out on the porch…

Joey got a new outfit this week from the Yaffa’s….Doesn’t this describe Joey perfectly?

2 Month Checkup

Posted on July 27, 2011 by jgoodman

We had Joey’s 2 month checkup yesterday.  Everything went great…He’s a big boy.  His height (25 inches) and head circumference (16.5) were off the charts large.  His weight was also in the 90% (13lbs 11oz).  The doctor said he’s tall and skinny.  I laughed outloud, thinking he’s just like his parents.  Where did this tall, skinny, blue-eyed, fair-skinned and light-haired child come from?

Joey had 2 shots and an oral medicine yesterday.  He was so tough, but was definitely feeling it later on that day.  I had to hold him for 8 hours straight until he finally went to bed for the night.  He woke up this morning his normal, pleasant self!

Last Week in Review

Posted on July 25, 2011 by jgoodman

We once again had a busy week!  We made major progress in the house…All of the construction is done and the furniture was delivered.  I came home the other day to Ricky and Greg watching our new TV with their 3D glasses on…

We skipped the lake this weekend, because Greg’s dad and Beverly were in town.  But, last weekend we were up and we had a lot of visitors.

Joey Has a New Cousin!

Posted on July 20, 2011 by jgoodman

Joey’s cousin (our nephew), Jordan Nathaniel Wax, was born this week.  We’re so excited to go out to California to meet him soon.  Joey and Jordan are going to have an awesome time playing together very soon!

Like mother, like son

My mom always used to talk about how I chewed in my sleep.  I’ve passed this trait onto Joey!

Pippin explores the loop!

Posted on July 19, 2011 by jgoodman

We’ve had workmen at our place since we moved in.  I’ve gotten comfortable with them, and they have definitely made themselves at home!  So much so, that they left the door open and Pippin got out.  He was found at State/Monroe and handed over to the police.  Needless to say, we bought the entire police department pizza for dinner and went over to personally thank them.

Joey was coincidentally dressed as a Sheriff for our visit!

Summer’s heating up!

Posted on July 18, 2011 by jgoodman

Joey’s growing up before our eyes.  No one can believe how big he’s getting.  We had lunch with my friends Abby and Danielle and Abby’s new, beautiful daughter, Stella, last week.  Stella was tiny compared to Joey-and she’s just 6 weeks younger!

Joey’s been babbling like crazy for a few weeks, but he also started sticking his hands in his mouth this week, to self-sooth.  He also started really enjoying how different materials feel against his face.  He especially likes really soft things, like the blanket The Bohrer’s got for him!  Finally, he started spitting up big-time (see below)…how exciting!!

Joey’s 7 Weeks Old!

Posted on July 10, 2011 by jgoodman

We got a ton of stuff done house-wise this week.  Walls went up, furniture was selected and we made more trips to Home Depot then I can count. Joey didn’t seem to mind it, though.  He was so interested in looking at everything we pushed him super-slow down the isles.

It was Uncle Kenny’s birthday on Friday so Joey and I went up north and had lunch with him, Zeyda, Grandma Pearl and Bubbie Gorgeous.
