Rice Cereal!





Joey tried his first solid food (rice cereal) for the very first time this morning and he loved it! He repeatedly attempted to grab the spoon and between bites he cried until I fed him more. A little messy, but a big hit!

Lil Joe and Lil Wayne

You might remember from an earlier post that Joey enjoys reading magazines. Recently he was reading "Time" with his Nanny when he discovered a picture of the musician/rapper, "Lil Wayne". Since that discovery, Joey has found true love. His favorite morning ritual is staring at Lil Wayne's picture and talking with him. Since Joey's parents and grandparents weren't familiar with L.W., we did some research and don't really approve of the lyrics or message of Lil Wayne so we're hoping that this is just a phase.

Joey and Nanny


Joey has been having so much fun with his grandparents in Nebraska. Here is a sweet picture of Joey with Nanny.

New Tricks


Joey is growing bigger and is learning new tricks every day. Lately he's really found his voice--he screeches and howls. He also figured out how to spit and often spits at his grandmother. We've been attending a moms group here in Nebraska and this morning we learned that Joey now weighs 16 lbs, 8 oz.

Joey is Moving to...





...Omaha, Nebraska! Joe's dad just accepted a position in Omaha and we will be moving this summer after he finishes his residency in Maryland. For our readers who are familiar with Nebraska, Joe's dad is joining the radiation oncology practice at Methodist Hospital in Omaha. He will begin this new position sometime in July. Nanny and Poppy are thrilled that Joey is moving so close!

Wrong Bowl, Joe!



Joey was a little confused about the term, "bowl game" and at times wasn't sure exactly what he should be watching today.

Watching the Bowl Game




The Nebraska Cornhuskers played in the Gator Bowl (and won) today. Joey enjoyed watching the game with his Poppy.
