Silly Saturday!

According to Joey's outfit, today was just another Silly Saturday and we spent it hanging out and relaxing at the house.

Everyone was making silly faces today - here's a silly face from Joey...

and here's a silly look from Grandma...

Joey is just too cute and it's amazing how easy it is to pass the day just staring at him. And I can never resist the urge to smother him with kisses.

Pictures from Mima

Click here to see all the photos that Mima has taken of Joey. The pictures include shots of Joey in his first days at the hospital, photos taken when Mima spent a few days here in town with us and also pics of Joey's day in San Antonio.

p.s. Joey's umbilical cord stump fell off yesterday. Which means that tonight he will be getting his first tub bath...wish us luck!

To Mima's House We Go!

Joey made his first trip to San Antonio today. Brian had a work meeting in town, so we tagged along and spent the day at Mima's house. Joey had a chance to catch up with Mima and Da and also got to meet some other VIP's for the first time!

Mima is such a great multi-tasker!


Da took a break from work to spend a few minutes with Joey.


Oma meets her 5th great-grandchild!


Aunt Anne stopped by to say hi.


Cousin Maggie and Aunt Julie inspect Joey's little feet.


Cousin Beth thought the Cheez-Its were a bit more interesting than Joey...

2 Week Well Check

Joey had his 2-week well check this morning and his doctor was very happy with his health. His bilirubin levels (for jaundice) are completely back to normal. And our big guy now weighs 7 lbs, 15 ozs. - 1 pound more than he weighed just 1 week ago - so we no longer need to wake him up every three hours for feedings!

Lazy Saturday

We enjoyed our day of relaxation today - Daddy and Joey started the afternoon with a short nap...

And then Miss Mary dropped by our house to meet Joey.

Afterwards it was time for yet another feeding. But as you can see, once Joey decides he's had enough, there's no convincing him to have just a bit more.

So we took advantage of his sleepy time to capture pictures of his precious little fingers and toes.

Ahhh...nothing like a soothing sponge bath to round out a long day!
