Happy Thanksgiving

Chillen with my Auntie Binzer
Joey's been in to sticking out his tongue lately...
So cute!
Cousins.. Hailey, Drew, and Joey Aho

Joey's 8 months old!!!

Happy 8 months Joey! We ran out to Grandma and Grandpa's to say hi and run the dogs. Joey had a good time patting Grandpa's belly! He is really funny and loves to laugh!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Success!!

As an occupational therapist working with kids who have Autism, Down Syndrome, Developmental Delay, etc, I tend to look at all these little milestones with much appreciation. It takes some kids so long to reach what Joey has been able to accomplish already in eight months. Each new thing that he does just amazes me.

Action shot,,,,

My OT friends would appreciate this post. Joey is using a pincer grasp to pick up this veggie puff. He's really into these lately....

At 7.5 months....

Joey has learned how to get up on all fours... now i have to figure out how to not be underlined...

Chillen with cousin Drew

Joey had fun, playing with cousin Drew.

Is this what independence looks like?

Joey hadn't been eating really well, and I didn't know if it was because he had a cold, he was teething, or he just wanted to do it himself.... well I think he got some of it in his mouth, and what he didn't, the dogs helped clean up!

So Sleepy!

...but I fired up during my bath! I found a tub that works, and Joey is really digging his baths! Derek goes to midnights tonight, so i'm blogging before I go to bed. At least I have Winfrey and Bentley to protect me... although Bentley does like to hog the bed when Derek is gone. Try fighting for the covers when a 100 pound dog is laying on them!

Just playing..

I was just playing with my camera and found this "color accent" function.. I think it will be fun to use. Just a lazy day at home after grocery shopping and a target run. It's really bad that Target is 2 blocks away...
