Joe is 7 months old today. Here are a few pictures I just took of him in his baby prison. He's clearly trying to eat his way out of his crib in one of them. So, he's now tried rice cereal, apples, pears, bananas and hardwood. It's not easy getting decent pictures through the cell bars, but you get the idea. He's been sleeping through the night and has a sunny disposition for the most part. He still loves to swing in the swing that Laura & Andy and Shannon & Rick gave him. We also got him a Jumperoo from someone on Craigslist. He loves to jump. He giggles now and rolls over a lot. He's at the very first stages of learning to crawl. He gets on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. He was christened on March 12th. It went well. He didn't make a peep. My friend MaryAnne whom I've known since Kindergarten is his godmother and Matt's brother Mark is his godfather. I wish that more family was around to see Joseph grow (and to babysit). We barely ever go out. There's nobody nearby who we trust enough to watch Joe. We do take him to an Indian restaurant every few weeks. I only go India
Palace, the doctor's office and church. Oh, every few months we do go to Mom's. It's weird being so housebound, but the weather refuses to cooperate with me. Now that springtime is approaching (well, I guess it officially arrived on Charlie's birthday) we'll get out for walks which will be wonderful. I envy Charlie & Margaret's trips to Florida and wish I could see you both- especially Margaret's hair! I hope you'll be able to meet Joe before he gets too old. The same goes for Laura & Shannon. Maybe we can all get together this summer. I sure hope so. It's kind of silly that the few of us who are relatively close never seem to be able to get together.
Well, I guess I blogged the heck out of this one. I hope all is well with everyone.
Love,
Jennifer
