Baby steps!

Joey started taking a few steps on his own this week and we were able to capture it on camera today. All he needs is something to hold in his hands (which, by the way, is what his Aunt Janet did as a baby - rumor is she held beer bottles).

This Week - A Photo Retrospective

It was a pretty boring week in our household, but that didn't stop us from taking pictures to share with everyone. Enjoy!

Aunt Katie kicked off her spring break with a Joey visit.

Back at the piano. Do you see the improvement from the last time he was at the piano? I think he already looks more poised and confident. I'm kidding, by the way.

Joey sported a rocker look this week. He wore his black shirt (which reads "For Those About to Talk We Salute You") and also modeled some baggy jeans which kept dropping down to reveal his hard-core Big Bird diaper.

Our little Longhorn...you'd think that with Joey's head being in the 95th percentile, we'd be able to easily find a cap that fits. But apparently not - everything is still a little big on him but we don't care. With the Horns' baseball season in full swing, the basketball team about to enter March Madness and football two-a-days just around the corner, we want to get Joey into the burnt orange spirit.

Remember the Alamo!

Last Friday Brian had a work meeting in San Antonio so Joey and I tagged along again. We of course spent some quality time with Mima and Da, but since we were staying at a hotel on the Riverwalk, we also did some of the touristy SA stuff. For those of you in the know about SA cuisine, we ate at Las Palapas, Chris Madrid's and Los Barrios...all in one day!

Here is Joey on his first visit to the Alamo.

We think that Joey has recently figured out that it's his own reflection looking back at him in the mirror. The hotel had mirrored closet doors and it gave Joey the perfect opportunity to kiss his little cute self.

We know that many of you with children are well aware that packing for a baby is quite a chore, but our packing for this trip was ridiculous. Look how much stuff we had for an OVERNIGHT trip!

This has nothing to do with our visit to San Antonio but I just wanted to share this cute picture. Is there any doubt that my baby is no longer an infant and has already crossed into the world of toddlerhood? Where did the time go???

And then he kissed me!

In the last few days, Joey has started kissing my face at night right before his bedtime. It is the sweetest thing - he grabs hold of my face with both of his hands and then he plants his face into my cheeks or lips. The first time it happened I thought he was trying to bite my nose, but now I realize that it's a baby kiss! We haven't gotten a photo of it yet (because what baby needs a camera flash in his face right before sleepytime) so you'll have to take my word on this one.

Kitchen cabinet craziness

Mommy finally took the time to turn one of our kitchen cabinets into a "Joey-friendly zone" and so far it's been a great tool to keep Joey entertained.

No pictures, please!

What should I go for now?

I'm thinking that Tupperware looks tasty...

YESSSSS!!!
