Happy Birthday Victoria Addison!

Victoria Addison arrived today at 3:09am. This is Joe's Latino girlfriend...although, they are not officially dating yet. Her mommy is one of my closest friends at work. I wish them well and am so proud of them both. Victoria arrived in this world naturally....Maria-Paula...you are awesome! I love you both!

Hanging around the house

Here are some random pictures of Joe around the house...enjoy!

Standing Tall (without the dramatic fall!)

Balancing on my knees...

Mommy's new "swiffer"

Joe & his food

Joe gets more & more excited about his food these days. While we were at the condo in Hot Springs, we didn't bring a high chair ...so we were just going to use his bouncy seat. Well, it was really hard to feed him in it since he would get so excited and kick his feet...then the chair would bounce back & forth like crazy! I wish we had our video camera to get it in action. Oh well.
He was so happy as he got to spend the weekend with his Marmee while mommy and daddy were in Hot Springs enjoying some adult time. Thanks Marmee for watching me...I had a great time and can't wait to see you on Wednesday!

Look at my tongue!

His mouth gets sooo wide when he's eating...its so cute!

Jeff is now the big 30!

On this past Tuesday (the 19th), my husband turned the big 30! I surprised him by planning a trip to Hot Springs and inviting some of our closest friends. So last weekend, we went to Hot Springs to celebrate his last days of his twenties. Jay & Jan, Michael & Jennifer, Jeremy & Melissa & Jarrod and Heather joined us for the horse races, dinner and dessert. Jeff and I had a great time and we are thinking maybe we should make this an annual trip. Enjoy the pics!

Jeff pondering which horse is going to bring him big birthday bucks.

Warning...grandparents not allowed to watch

So, before you watch this...please know Joe was completely fine. No bumps or bruises. He is starting to pull himself up, but he's not as graceful when he lands. Here is 3 seconds of him standing! Maybe next time the video will last longer.

Welcome home Jackson!

Although this is a picture from the hospital, Jackson Chase is home with his parents! Heidi was released from the hospital this past weekend and Jackson came home today. I know they are so excited! It must have been so hard to leave him at the hospital for a couple of days, but now he's home!!! God is good! We have prayed for this little man to be healthy and strong; our prayers were answered..have fun with your little guy, Heidi & Jack...The sleepless nights begin, but Im praying they won't last for long...we love you!

Happy Birthday Jackson Yates!

Jackson Yates was born February 4 at 556 pm. He weighed in at 5 pounds 10 oz, 18 1/2 inches long and is doing well overall. He is currently in the NICU for precautions as he was premature. Heidi is recovering from surgery and is doing well also. Keep them in your prayers. Congratulations Heidi and Jack! Welcome to Parenthood...its a lot of fun and so rewarding!

Today Joe is 8 months old.

*He has a tooth peeking through

*He is crawling like a champ
*He is pulling up to sit on his knees
*He finally found his feet (discovered about 2weeks ago)

Boys will be boys

Joe stayed with his daddy today while I worked. I have the best husband in the world! He could send Joe to Miss Allison so he could have the day off, but instead he has Joe at his finest.
