Joseph is ONE!!!!

Wow, where does the time go. I've been meaning to write this post before you actually turned one, but time has once again slipped thru my fingers. This past year has gone by soo fast, it started with your birthday November 19, 2010. You were a stubborn boy, you wanted to stay nice and cozy in my tummy. It took two tries with pitocin to induce my labor. Once I started to push it was almost an hour before we heard that vigorous cry and the chance to hold you on my stomach for the first time. Our family was complete the moment we held you in our arms.

Watching your sister. So intensely watching her every move.

Christmas 2010

6 months old

By time you turned one, you were weighin' in the same 26-27 pounds since 6 months of age. You have grown taller and have been able to whittle down some of those famous rolls. You have managed to cruise around doing the army crawl. When I mean cruise, I mean you have the it down pat. One minute you are in kitchen, next you're crossing over the bathroom threshold across the living room.

Food wise, you love your meat, potatoes(sweet or not,) & fruits. You're not much of a veggie lover. I keep trying & you keep spitting them out. The only ones you will eat are very glazed carrots & any type of squash.

Fourth of July

1st camping trip

Vocally, you say a few words. Mama, Dada, Ada, & Nooooo. But this does not stop you from voicing your opinion.

Overall, Joseph you are a pretty mellow kid. Let's hope that you stay mellow at least thru the toddler, preshool, school-age, teenage......I can a only hope I guess.

We love very much Big Joe!! I look forward to seeing you explore and discover new things.

This post was started in December. OOPS Sorry Joseph.
