Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Joey's first Thanksgiving in Hutch. Joey did great on both flights to and from Wichita. Then, when we arrived, he had so much fun playing with his cousins all week long. He scooted all over Nana and Poppa's house, exploring everything. Needless to say he took GREAT naps all week because he was so worn out! Here are some pictures from our trip.

Football Sunday with the Janssens

We had a blast watching the Bears vs Rams game on Sunday. Everyone wore their favorite team gear.

Cuddling with Grandpa

Resting on Randall

Germans Babysit

The Germans watched Joey on Sunday while Mommy went to dinner with her high school friends and Daddy took Dave to the Blackhawks game. Looks like it was a fun time for everyone!

9 Months

Joey turned 9 months old last Sunday! He is now army crawling all over the place and getting into everything (time to baby proof!). He is eating more finger foods but still prefers that we feed him puree's. At his 9 month appointment he weighed in the 25th % and length was 54%... still long and lean. We also got the good news that we only have 3 more weeks in the helmet!!! Although he doesn't notice it one bit, we will be happy to have his sweet, little head back.

Halloween!

Joey had the CUTEST Halloween costume. Unfortunately, he was not feeling it. I was only able to get a few photos before the meltdown. He did, however, have a great time helping hand out candy to the neighborhood kids and checking out all of the great costumes. He even stayed up late to attend the neighborhood Halloween party.

First Haircut

Joey's hair has been growing like crazy! So, we decided to get his first haircut. Mommy's hairdresser, Leigh, was kind enough to do the honors. He did great, a little fussiness towards the end, but overall he was a trooper!
