Joseph is nearing his 8 month birthday and the level of cuteness is on the rise. We have been having so much fun with him lately. He's very interactive and loves to play. His most favorite activity is reading stories! We must read at least 10 each day and his most recent favorite is a book called "The Moon in My Room" He is just about 17lbs and almost as tall as some of his little friends who are 3 and 4 months older than him! He has two little bunny teeth on his bottom gums and he is learning to master drinking from a sippy cup. His favorite song is ABC and he loves to "help Mama" at the grocery store by holding one of the items.
The first "cookie" (baby teething cookie) he ever had! You think he enjoyed it?!

A family trip to the ZOO meant a ride on the carousel with Dadddy. Joseph loved it... he kept patting the tiger.
First ride on the ZOO train. He was so adorable looking out at everyone waving at us as we chugged away.
Choo-Choo!
Picking a pumpkin at the YMCA pumpkin patch. He picked out the one in his lap when we offered him a choice.
Proudly showing us his pumpkin.
The corn stalks were a hit too.
Family update: We are moving to a new apartment on November 29th in the next town. Finally we'll have laundry in the basement.. whoo hoo! It's a pretty little townhouse on a pond and close to the seminary and work.... we are always on the move these days!
