Family pool time!

We had a fun Saturday playing in Nan and Pop's pool! My nephew is out of school and staying with them for the week. We enjoyed spending some time together. The pool water was the perfect temperature and we had a little cookout too! What a great day!

Mommy and her little guy!

Joe and Jordan playing tag

That octopus was slippery!!! We named him Octiman!

Nan hard at work

6 teeth

Joseph just got a new tooth on Wed. He now has his front 2 bottom teeth and front 4 top teeth. He's always a little "off" when his teeth cut and motrin seems to help him a lot. He gets a bad runny nose each time a new tooth appears. Hopefully with all these teeth he can learn to eat more table food!!!

Botanical Gardens

Joseph and I met up with his playgroup at the Norfolk Botanical Garden! The flowers were beautiful around the garden and they have a water play area for children. The babies had the best time playing!

Beach time with friends!

Yesterday morning I took Joseph to the beach to meet up with some other baby friends! Joseph enjoyed playing in the sand this time (last time we took him he cried when he touched the sand)! His buddy Logan loves the sand and the water, so he's teaching Joseph to like it too :)

Sneaky Joseph

On the go

It's been a fun past few weeks watching Joseph meet various milestones! Here is the latest.....On April 23rd I found him sitting up in his crib for the first time! He also started crawling on that same day! He now loves being sneaky and crawling all over the place. His favorite place to "sneak off" to is the bathroom where he takes a bath each night. Bath time continues to be his FAVORITE time of the day and he has the best time crawling in there and pulling up to stand by the tub! I found J standing in his crib on May 6th! Now he jumps up and down when he sees anyone come into his room to get him! Joseph loves pulling up on various toys and objects. The past two weeks he has learned to pull up when holding onto the couch and takes "steps" moving down the couch while still holding on. My little guy is becoming a toddler right before my eyes!

Warmer weather and pool time!

The past few weeks have been beautiful here in Va Beach! The weather warmed up to the upper 80's a few times and Joseph got to enjoy playing in his pool with his friends. Check out how cute all the boys look playing together! The first 2 pics are with his good friend Trevor. Trevor and his family are moving to Lemoore, CA this summer, so we will surely miss them. The next pics are with his friends Logan and Hayden. Logan has been one of Joseph's favorite friends for several months now. Can't wait to swim in my parents "real" pool a bunch this summer! Joseph LOVES being in the water and we have him several "swimmy" toys to sit in when he's playing around in the pool!

Trevor and Joseph loved playing with the containers!

The boys saw how much fun Logan was having outside the pool, so they wanted to come out too!

Logan's trying to get Joseph to come out and play with him in the grass!
