Father's Day 2006

We celebrated Dad's first Father's Day this year. He got a cool t-shirt that said "Greatest Dad 2006" from Joseph. Joseph told him it was an easy choice to vote him greatest dad this year, but he's going to have to work hard to keep the title in 2007!

Joseph just keeps getting cuter by the day and he's so much fun. He smiles even more now and he's starting to sleep most of the night through. He's also over 13 pounds (feels like 113 sometimes). He's very active at home, but when we go out and meet new people he likes to stare at them and look them in the eye. He's a curious boy and loves to see new places and things.

Our favorite new thing he does is chanting himself to sleep. When he gets tired he'll say "ooh aah ooh" over and over for as long as 3 minutes straight until he falls asleep. It's the funniest thing to see and hear.

He's starting to grab onto things with his hands. If you hold something in front of him he grabs it with both hands and tries to shove it in his mouth. He also grabs onto smaller objects like plastic key rings and rattles with one hand.

Want to be squeaky clean for Daddy's first Father's Day.

Who doesn't enjoy a nice bath?

Joseph is fascinated with Pop's mustache and he loves being in Grammy's arms!

New toys and clothes

Joseph turned two months old on June 11th. Can't believe how fast things go by and how big he's gotten. He holds his head upright on his own and smiles a lot in response to our voices and to some of his toys. He's a bundle of energy too...loves to be entertained!

Love the swing, but not sure I like the bears hanging over me like that. They look hungry.

You caught me at a bad time...I'll put a shirt on.

Oh, it's you again! Like my Little Slugger outfit?

Love that Yankee mobile
