Topsfield Fair

We took a trip to the Topsfield Fair with Aunt Julie, Abby and Kyle. It was a lot of fun! And that elephant at the Rainforest Cafe? Not scary anymore... Joey rode a real one!

 Checking out the ducks: 'quack, quack'.

 Riding his first (of many, I'm sure) rides!

 Alex missed out on a lot of the fun, but I think he was taking notes for next year...

 Who are those crazy kids at the top of the bleachers?!



Dinner time

Lately, Joey has dinner and Baby Alex 'watches'. Any time Joey starts to misbehave, Alex giggles. We're in for it in a few more months...

Daniel's Birthday Party

Joey's friend Daniel had a birthday party, and we were all invited.

Learning to pop balloons, which is somehow not scary even when it makes a loud sound which causes Alex to cry.

'No, Daniel. My bouncy house. Stay away!'

(He's really good at sharing lately)

These faces are just priceles

Grammy Visit - September 2011

Grammy came to visit and watch Baby Alex while Mommy started back to work. We had a lot of fun, starting with an attempt to conquer Joey's fear of the elephant at the Rainforest Cafe.

We didn't get past the alligator... and ended up at the Cheesecake Factory.

Beautiful blue eyes

'Baby Alex is sad. It's ok, Baby Alex.'

'Joey fick the mobile. Sing lullabye song.'

 

Isn't this how everyone eats yogurt?

Make your own pizza party!

Making sure Baby Alex has 'Donald Car' to play with, since Joey has 'Mickey Airplane'

Life & the re-introduction of the Bumbo Seat

Watching a show before bed...

... and something clearly spooked both of them.

'Noooo! Go upside down again, Daddy! PLEASE!'

Grocery shopping with Mommy - 'say cheese, lobstahs!'

Flashback to January 2010 - Joey, 5 months old.

20 months later, and he fits in it better than he did before!

Alex gets a turn every once in a while...

...but it is definitely Joey's new favorite seat.
