Joey is getting even bigger and stronger. He is standing a lot these days (when held of course - not on his own quite yet!) and loves the telephone. I have a feeling he is going to be a gadget lover, similar to someone else in this family. :) He loves to eat eat eat, and there never seems to be enough food! We are enjoying him very much and loving the way him and Lydia interact. Here are some pics of Joey:
In his Chicago Bears jersey
With Daddy ( I love these!)
Lydia is starting to talk in sentences and asking more questions. This age is so fun! She loves Elmo and still loves music as much as before. And she loves all of her stuffed animals, so much in fact, that at times she will drag about 5 at a time around the house!
Here is pic of Lydia loading up her shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. (We want to instill the importance of giving to those in need)
We are gearing up for the holidays, and looking forward to starting some new traditions as a family. One tradition we're starting this year for Thanksgiving is reading a book called Thanksgiving: A Time to Remember. It is about the pilgrims and their journey here to America, and the history of Thanksgiving. We'll read a little bit each day before Thanksgiving.
Since I probably won't blog again before Thanksgiving day, Happy Thanksgiving!
1 Chronicles 16:34 "Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever."
