Joe's 1 Year Photos

LeighAnn Hasley took our photos for Joe's first birthday and did a fantastic job!



Joe looks so sweet and happy!

The Great Outdoors

After we have all gotten over sicknesses (hooray for antibiotics!) we decided to celebrate by going to Mount Magazine to goof around. It was a beautiful day with lots of great scenery. Here is a shot of the valley below.



Joe loves being outside, and he had lots of fun crawling around on the rocks (with proper adult supervision, of course!).




Joe is really doing great with his standing up and practicing walking around. Still no steps on his own yet, but he's getting there! I can't believe he'll be one year old in two weeks. I even think his face is looking older...but thankfully still babyish, too! (please excuse the river of drool- still more teeth are on their way...)

Silly Faces

I just had to share these photos of Joe. We were outside on our front porch yesterday playing around, enjoying the beautiful fall weather. He is such a cheeseball sometimes! What in the world did I do for entertainment before I had Joe???



God Bless those ears! Sent straight to him from his momma!

Starting Out Early

Dan cannot wait for Joe to be old enough to work on cars with him. Here are Joe, Dan, and our friend from St. Louis, Ivo, in the garage with the Z car talking shop. I think Joe looks pretty comfortable there among all the grease and gaskets.

Sleepy Socks

Here is a picture of Joe after we got home one evening. The sleep machine (as we call our car) did its job well, but Joe must have been chewing on a sock when the sandman finally overtook him.


I guess we'll just add these to our "Prom Night" album we are planning to show his date someday!
