Happy Birthday, Joey

Boy, I feel like a bad mom....I didn't take the time to post on Joey's actual 9th birthday, which was on Monday, August 3rd. I'm sorry, Joe. To make up for this, I have decided to share a few pictures of Joey over the years.

Here is Joseph Michael, just minutes after his grand debut.


Meeting his big brother for the first time.


As I have told many of you already, Joey was a baby who didn't like to sleep. Most nights, I was lucky if I got 3 hours total, never consecutive. So when we found a spot he liked, we went with it. This was my favorite fleecey at the time, which also soon became Joe's favorite "blanket" to snuggle in also.


By 3 months old, Joey had started to fill out and was a mover and shaker already.


Joey started walking at 9 months, so by this 10 month picture, he was quite adept at it. There was no stopping him or slowing him down then.


This is of Joey's first birthday celebration, shall we say that he really "got into" the party?! Oh, he spread the wealth also, his dad and brother also needed baths after the cake.



He has changed alot since then, growing cuter and more adorable each year.






Joey, I love you so much, words can't describe. You are my unique, creative, snugglebug, my monkey, my buddy. Hope you had a terrific birthday, you have so much in store for the next year, I can't wait to see how you continue to grow and develop!
