February 2011

Though February has less days than other months it seemed like a long month! As a family, we really don't have a lot to report. Ruggs & I found a great Mexican restaurant (Si Senor) close to home Valentine's Day weekend. We're addicted to the delicious food and giant Margaritas! Sydney registered for her Senior year (3 AP classes), went job hunting for her first job and started spring tennis. Jud registered for this freshman year! He'll be continuing to take band and Spanish next year. Otherwise, a pretty uneventful month for the older people in the household. Joseph is of course changing on a daily/weekly basis! Here's lots of new stuff to share...

We started giving him a little rice cereal a few times a week.

We went swimming for the first time! He likes to kick his feet around in the water.

 He got an exersaucer (after seeing how much he liked playing with one at a friend's house) and it helps keeps him entertained while I make dinner.

He likes to play "baby fly"! This is when we first discovered how to make him giggle!

He still loves to listen to Dad play his guitar.

He's starting to love tummy time and will scoot around in a circle!

He has lots of friends to play with! 

(Sadly, he gets tired of each and everyone at some point during the day.)

I act ridiculous on a daily basis to get him to laugh! (It's so darn cute!) In this video I'm bobbing my head around like crazy and he thinks it's funny...

He likes the "Baby in the Mirror". They say babies can't recognize themselves until they're much older, but he doesn't act this way when he sees his friends at Stroller Class or New Moms Group. He smiles at them, but he doesn't flirt like this!

Joe also LOVES to read books! Sometimes he "reads" to me...

He's growing so fast! He'll be 5 months in a couple of weeks. Time flies when you're having fun!!
