Joal is 10 months old. He is a really busy boy. He is standing up holding onto anything he can. He crawls like speedy Gonzalez, he loves to play, he throws a ball pretty good. He climbs like a monkey on everything. His giggle is contagious.he is a very happy boy.

Zoo

We squeezed in a trip to the zoo before it got to crazy hot. Alessandra loved watching the giraffes eat

keeping our cool

Summer is here and we are keeping our cool by playing in the sprinklers and chilling in the pool. My little water babies love splashing and playing in the pool. 

Daddy teaching Alessandra how to run in the sprinkler.

 Hopefully our big pool warms up soon so we don't have to keep swimming in the baby pool.

We visited the park one last time before it got so hot. Alessandra loves going down the slide, she wanted Joal to join her. It's a lot of fun playing at the park.

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.
