Joal 9 months

 Joal is 9 months old. He weighs 19lbs. 12oz and is 28 3/4 in. tall. He can crawl like the wind and he stands up holding onto everything he can. He is so happy to just be on the floor playing and doesn't like to hold still. He is happy happy happy. He still only has 1 tooth but #2 is almost ready to pop up. He loves to eat, he eats baby puffs by the handful.

 His favorite places to play are the fridge and the bathroom. Cant go into either one without this little helper.

 He loves to play with Alessandra, whatever she is playing with he wants. I think we are in for some good fights!

Dr. Ross

 My little brother graduated from The University of Houston the beginning of May. He is now Dr. Ross and he is off to be a professor at Utah State. I went to Houston for his graduation, it was really cool to see him graduate and spend a little time with the family.

 We went to a strawberry patch so the kids could pick strawberries for a yummy graduation dessert.

 They are good strawberry pickers.

2 fruits.

Easter

Alessandra had fun dying Easter eggs with Grandma and Grandpa. They had a good assembly line going, Alessandra dropped the egg in, Grandpa swirled it around & Grandma took it out.

Easter egg hunt time

Easter basket time. Neither kid wanted to pose for pictures, they were to excited to eat the goodies.

8 months

Look at this 8 month old big boy. He is on the move and into everything. He started crawling on March 30th, his 1st tooth popped up on April 15th and on April 25th I went to get him out of bed and he was standing up in his crib. My baby is growing up so fast.

He loves playing with his big sister, and she loves teaching him how stuff works. I could sit and watch them play all day. It is so so cute.

He loves his Daddy and he really loves driving the golf cart with Daddy.
