Everyone thinks their baby is the cutest baby in the whole world... but there can only really be one. I think we know who it is. This blog chronicles the life of this enormously blessed young man through the eyes and adventures of me, Joe Momma.
Joe got school pictures taken a couple of weeks ago and they came in this week. Unfortunately, Joe had a bad cold, so the pictures include some 'sneeze ready' faces and some snot. Nevertheless, I thought I would share them with you since they are his first ever school pictures:
I love the days-of-the-week in the background. "Sunday, Friday, Saturday, Tuesday..." Classic.
Joe Daddy is going to be gone all this week on job interviews. So far he has interviews at... well, I'll spell them backwards to thwart the Google engines:
Joe Daddy and I were reminiscing today about our drive from T-town to P-ton a few years ago and how exciting it will be to move again this summer. Joe Daddy will probably drive a big Penske truck again and I will drive our car, only this time, there'll be a little one singing in the back seat. Getting a PhD from P-ton is certainly a monumental accomplishment, but I think we all agree that nothing trumps little Joebert.
Oh! One more thing! The costume this year for Halloween? Hint One: Joe Daddy is going to dress up too. They will be going as a pair from a major motion picture. Until next time...
Since Joe said "bye bye" in one of the older posts, I thought it would be good for him to say "hi" and start off a post!
I have great news regarding my concerns from the last post and that is that Joe loves his new school! When I drop him off, he walks over to the table and sits down in his seat and says, "PEACHES!" which sounds more like "PEE-cha". He loves the food at his new school and almost all of his new words are food or food related: "peaches" "apples" "done" "more" and "snack time". Here's a little taste: (pun intended)
We did have one hiccup at the new school, but it was minor. They called to tell me that there had been an "incident" but that after applying ice, they thought everything was fine. Around noon that day, Joe heard the door open and saw the lunch cart being wheeled in and before anyone could do anything, Joe jumped up, screamed and leaped towards the cart -- the next thing anyone saw was Joe tripping over a chair at one of the tables and going down towards the floor. He busted his bottom lip and cried, but after they tried to apply ice, he just kept reaching towards the lunch table, so they let him eat lunch. By the time I got there, he was happy as a clam (see below). What can I say? The boy comes from a long line of people who enjoy lunch:
In other news, Joe recently visited a local farm with his Uncle J where we got to take some cute pictures and Joe got to meet a few new animal friends.
We were lucky to be able to go to the farm that weekend, because almost the entire rest of the month of September, it was super rainy. Although we weren't able to go out quite as much, we still went out of few times to let Joe play in the puddles. Here's a great shot that Joe Daddy got on his camera phone of Joe having fun after a rainstorm.
I noticed recently that there aren't a lot of pictures of me or Joe Daddy on the blog, which is mainly due to the fact that we are almost always behind the camera. I tried to hold the camera myself and take a picture while hugging Joe, but alas, I couldn't get Joey to cooperate:
Joe Daddy tried the same thing moments later and had no problem. That's what I get for being in a house with two ornery boys. But, see how adorable they are?!
Thankfully, Joe was slightly more behaved a couple of days later and Joe Daddy captured a cute moment on his phone:
I've been very sick this past weekend and Joe was out of school today for Columbus Day, so Joe and Joe Daddy got to have an extended boys-weekend. They got into all kinds of monkey trouble together, which included Joe Daddy teaching Joe to 'clap' to The Office theme song and throw his fist in the air while yelling "YEEEAH!" at the end of the song. Well, you have to see it to believe it:
Although I was very sick the past few days, who wouldn't feel a little better to watch this out your window?
Because I was sidelined this weekend, I missed out on the Halloween Outfit shopping, which means that Joe Daddy was able to pick out the costume this year. You'll recall that he picked out Batman last year... any guesses as to what he decided on for this year? Find out next time!
