Nothing too exciting going on in the crotch (Rochester). Joey and I enjoyed a fantastic week during my time off. We were busy little bees. We visited his new "school", visited friends and family in Buffalo, visited my work peeps, got his portraits taken and went to his 9 month pediatrician appointment.

Yup, Joey starts "school" on Monday. Lee's going back to work full-time so Joey will be in day care 2.5 days a week. The place is really wonderful and I'm excited for Joey. We' lucky to have found such a fabulous place to send him. I'm sure I'll have more updates on his life as a "student" :) in the future.

Joey now weighs 24.4 lbs and is 30.5" tall. He's still a giant baby but his hugeness is finally starting to taper off! He's still above the 97% for both height and weight. As a result of this, you should see my biceps. I'm happy to say I can no longer be mistaken for Olive Oyl.

We also celebrated my dad's birthday last Sunday. It was the Bicentennial Parade in Clarence and my mom was the grand marshall of the parade. Margaret graciously offered to accompany her crammy in the car. Joey and Matthew were hilarious as always. you can see from the pictures that it was a tad windy. They were both given mardi gras beads and apparently the rules have changed, because neither boy revealed their cash and prizes to get the beads.

So anyhoo, here's some random pics from the past two weeks or so. I apologize for making it into a slideshow but blogger's photo uploader is painfully slow today. Enjoy!
