Number FIVE!!

Introducing...

dddddrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Joseph James!!!

(aka Joey, JoeJoe, JJ, Sweet Baby James, Baby Joe, JoeBabe, and JoJay)

Yes, he was born, and yes, he is adorable!!

We finally have pictures back on the computer, so you will be able to get to know this little fella.  This is his most recent picture, so we'll be going a little out of order, but he's been cute since day one, so it's aaaallllll goooood.  We don't have all the pictures on yet, but they'll come, they'll come.  So, for now, let's get to know little Joey.

Our little baby guy was born May 31st, 2011.  He was 7 pounds 9 ounces and 19 inches long.  He had a good, strong scream/cry from the beginning that he never has lost. :)  It was pretty good and loud, let me tell you.  Now he adds that little scream in when he gives me "squeezes" and "huggies" and it is adorable.

Joseph says, "Hi," "Bye-Bye," "Cheese" (for pictures- pretty dang cute), "Mama," "DaDa," and he barks like a dog, or "barks" like a kitty, or "barks" like Grandpa's hawk. :)

He is a big hit at church (or the store, or baseball games, etc.)because if anyone says Hi to him or says he's cute or pretty much anything about him, Joey reaches out to them and gives them a hug.  Sometimes he'll just lay his head on their shoulder while they fall in love with him.  He knows he's cute and he gives the people what they want.  He's a little charmer.

He is just deciding that he really does know how to walk and he's been taking more and more steps.  It is just the cutest!  It all had to be done on his own time.  I could have kept my baby crawling forever, but the little stinkers just gotta start walking!  It's ok, because soon he'll get to walk and hold my hand.

This boy goes to sleep at 6:30 pm and sleeps until 7 am. He takes two naps.  Yeah, he's pretty much an angel.  He loves his brothers and loves to play with them.  They still fight over him and who gets to hold him.  Joey fold his arms for prayers... ok... he claps through prayers but only because he folds his arms at the beginning and then claps for himself because he's so proud of his amazing folding.  Pretty hilarious!  He's so righteous!

Anyway, I could go on and on about this baby, but now that I'm back with pictures and everything, I'll tell you more about him with those.  We just love our Little Joey!!
