Joseph loves his baby sister

Madelyn Nicole Capalbo

She's here and she's so very beautiful! Madelyn was born the day I turned 37 weeks, so we are thrilled to say that she was a full term baby! She weighs a healthy 6lb 5.5oz and is 18.5 inches and is doing great. Her big brother is completely in love with her and often hugs and touches her gently with a huge grin on his face! We love our new family of 4 and life couldn't be any more perfect for us right now!

Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

Joseph went to his last library class of the session this morning! He sported his Sham Rocker green t-shirt (he told me he didn't want anyone to pinch him!!!) and looked so cute! The weather is perfect here today....highs in the mid 60's so we played outside for a little while before lunch!

After lunch we played some more inside and found one of our favorite toys.....Mr. Duck (and the lens cap to mommy's camera)!

Joseph loves Mr. Duck and thinks he's so funny!

Hahaha!

Then, we had to get into our cool sunglasses....

But we didn't keep them over our eyes for long....

Next, we moved on to Joseph's room where he found his sleep sack and was ready for his afternoon nap!

Bath

Bath time continues to be Joseph's favorite time of day. We get a good laugh each evening when we ask him "Do you want to take a bath?" and he takes off running to the bathroom/tub like there is an emergency! He does this same thing at my parents house too! It is just so funny to us to watch him get so excited about his bath. Good thing he knows how to get around all the toys that seem to be in the way while running to the tub!

Nicer weather

The weather has been great the past few days in Va Beach. Joseph has enjoyed getting outside and playing in our driveway and yard! We'll probably head to the park tomorrow!

Joseph's body parts

Here is a video of him showing us his body parts. He knows several more parts, but as you can see from the video, getting him to sit still long enough to show all of them is a different story! :)

Skype with dada

Joseph has been able to skype with his daddy everyday since he's been gone for safety school in FL. He LOVES seeing his daddy on the computer! It's been great being able to talk and see him daily and Joseph always comes running when he hears Joe calling us on the computer. Sometimes I'll ask him, "Do you want to call daddy on the computer?" and he runs to the laptop and waits patiently for daddy to answer the call! We also recorded Joe reading several books to Joseph on our video camera before he left. Joseph sits so still and watches the video of daddy (it's only a 5 minute session of Joe reading 3 books to him) and he immediately does his sign language for "more" when the video is over. Sometimes we have to watch it 3 times before J is satisfied! :) Joe has another 2 weeks of school and we look forward to having him home soon so we can all welcome our new little princess to the family!
