Joey’s Log - Second Year
12 Sept 09
Poo Poo in the pottie all by my self.. yep, thought i had to and went inside to go and there it was in the pottie chair.. I did this off and on all weekend as mom let me run around with no diaper, sometimes i would wear my underwear, but mostly naked.
25 August 09
Wow what a crazy summer so far. I started pre-school today, it was lots of fun, there were 8 other kids and we colored, did puzzles, had breakfast, and a snack. We also do bunnies using glue and cotton balls. Mom and Dad dropped me off really early so i got to have fun right up til nap time.
27 July 09
No more crib for me, dad tried to put me in it last night and i said “Big Bed” so he let me sleep there, it’s fun and i can get out and peek out the door, but dad’s usually there and scares me sometimes so i run back to my bed. It’s nice because when i wake up i just open the door and go out to see everybody..
23 July 09
Tonight Mommy asked me to sit on the potty and to go… So i grunted and pushed and went potty.. I never knew that’s what she meant, so when I am on the potty and Mommy or daddy says to potty, i push out the pee pee..
22 July 09
Where is the summer (the cold summer) going to?? things are happening very fast here, we are constantly visiting someone, this weekend we head up to visit with Denny/Julie/Jenny/Adam/Addisen they have a cabin, we will fish, swim in a lake, and eat way tooo much. Dad is busy, Mommy is crazy busy and i get to spend time with Kendall and Heather who play with me during the day.
5 July 09
Beer… I can say Beeeer, every one thought that was funny, Uncle James taught me to say it, Mom and dad drink soda pop from a can, but James drinks Beeer. Jalisa took a video, i hope to share that with everyone..
29 june 2009
Just got back from the cabin, we went on a boat ride, caught fish off the end of the dock (they jump around a lot) and they stink and have angry red eyes. I only found one tick, or rather it found me but mom and dad took care of that little guy. I’m just sitting here flossing my teeth, not sure what it’s suppose to do for me but mom and dad seem to do it a lot.
25 june 2009
My Mommy has been gone all this week, she went to atlanta ga for some school, I thought she knew everything, but now i’m sure she learned the few things she wasn’t sure of. Mommy comes home on friday… yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
14 june 2009
I pooped in the toilet….. cooooool… I also can take my shirt off in the middle of the night, not sure mom likes that so much. Mom and dad are make a swing set for me, it’s a cool red one and has swings, slide, rock wall and everything, I’m helping lots too but i can’t figure out why it’s taking so long.
4 June 2009
Hey everybody, it’s been crazy busy lately and here i am. Mom and dad just got me a cool 4′ slide that i just love going down. Kendal has been coming over to play with me while mom and dad are both busy. She lives next door and is loads of fun. We go on walks, and i let her play with my trucks and we play catch together, but she’s not very good but i’m working with her on that.
20 May 2009 Birthday
Yesterday was my 18 month birthday, i told everyone to not make a big deal about it.. who would think that’s just what they did.?? but I got to go play with addie, luke, david (david doesn’t do much) and we ate pizza and ran amuck. It was fun. Uncle Lee and Uncle Davis, Aunt Missy, and Uncle Walter are coming for a visit, oh and Bryan will be with them so we should have some fun this weekend..
19 May 2009 Doc Visit
Mom and Dad took me to meet a new doc that will be taking care of me as i grow up. She is really nice, but then the mean lady came in and gave me 2 shots, but i didn’t cry, lucky for her my dad had my hands or i would have showed her a thing or two.. But i got 2 cool stickers so i guess i made out ok. They have a fish tank there with 3 turtles and that was really cool..
12 May 2009 Chicago
Mom and Dad took me to chicago, we drove but it wasn’t too bad, i slept for a good part of the drive there. We were in a hotel, which is a bunch of bedrooms, ours had a giant bed in it and was low enough for me to crawl onto and off of. Mom and Dad let me watch tv while in bed with them, I watched “happy feet” which was pretty cool. Mom took me swimming in the pool while dad went to school both days we were there.
24 April 2009 I Love you
When mom and dad gave me my goodnight hug and kiss, they always say “I love you” so tonight i said “Love you” back, they seemed to like that a lot, mom cried, dad got “goose bumps” whatever that is, hope he gives me some..
24 April 2009
Potty time, I sat on the potty and went #1 for the 1st time, i get that i’m suppose to do that but i don’t know the feeling I get before i have to go. Mom says she’s proud and I’ll try again real soon.
21 April 2009
Well, april 15th came and went, mom and dad were pretty excited about having me. We started swimming lessons it’s really cool, not the water though it’s warm. I can kick my legs, float on my back, jump off the side of the pool, hold my breath for like 1 hour so it seems. Mom got me these really cool shoes I can almost get them on. Mom and I go to swimming lessons then to music class, they teach me rhythm and timing for music. This week mom is home trying to get a lot of work done, but i have other plans, she is tons of fun to play with. She sings to me and lets me color, dad doesn’t let me color so much afraid i’ll color on the walls.
28 March 2009
I really like the park. There are swings and bridges and stuff. We should go there every day!
16 March 2009
Yeaaaa I had my 1st swim lesson today, mom and dad took me to “family swim” the water was really warm and we played with balls, little fishes and I got to jump into pool and Daddy caught me. We kicked out feet and got to play a lot. We had to leave way toooo soon.
28 Feb 2009
Wow, it seems like so long since i updated this log, i’ll have to try to do better. Well you can tell from mom and dad’s log that i learned how to jump. Not sure what came over me but maybe i saw addie doing it and i had to try. Its almost as much fun as jumping in my bed. It snowed a whole bunch this week and i helped dad shovel the snow it was really heavy. Uncle Davis sent us a video of his new wood floor he was really excited. Mom and dad took me to Edenbourough indoor park, it has like a bazillion slides and ladders and stuff for me to climb on. I get on and off my rocking horse by myself now to, addie and i jump over it too. Mom and daddy have stopped giving me my bottle, seems i only get it like 1x per day now. That’s all for now..
19 Feb 2009
Sweet, I was laying in my bed just as i was waking up this morning and yelled “daddy” and sure enough a few seconds (seemed like an hour) he came and got me out of the crib. He always makes me put my benkie back in the crib when he comes to get me, but i don’t mind, after all it’s hard for me do understand him talk sometimes.
18 Feb 2009
Mom and dad took me to the Doc today, i’m 15 months old and 100% in height, which means i’m tall. That ^(*&%**(&^ gave me 2 shots again one in each leg, i’m going to punch her in the head once i get bigger.. But it wasn’t so bad, mom and dad told me to stop crying and they hugged me and it wasn’t so bad. Developmental wise the tests say I am at 24 months development, only thing is i should be drinking from a glass now with a sippy cup, and the doctor told daddy to cut out the bottles completely. It’s so I dont’ form an attachment to the dang thing..
12 Feb 2009
So, i fell down the steps yesterday … guess there’s a first time for everything. Maybe next time I’ll throw my cup down first instead of carrying it. Daddy picked me up and made it all better.
11 Feb 2009
I’ve been really busy playing, visiting Gramma and Grampa, going to music class. Daddy got me a slide for our house. It’s so much fun - especially when Addie is here to race around and down with her. Sometimes I go down head-first - I think Daddy likes that.
13 Jan 2009
I went to play with my friend Reier at his house today. He has a fun slide and mom showed me how to climb up the ladder, then sit on top to slide down - I can go really fast! It’s way better than just sliding off the couch. He has a funny little jumpy dog too - the dog says “bow wow wow wow.” Reier fell and bumped his head - i hope he is ok so he can come and play with me.
12 Jan 2009
It is soooooooooooooo cold -14 with -44 windchill and it’s going to be like this all week. Good thing I have the really cool hat and gloves.
6 Jan 2009
Well a lot has been happening, we are back into our routine after the holidays, music class, volleyball, and company Christmas parties. I’ve spent the night with Addie and Jenny, oh and Adam is always there, he’s silly.
24 Dec 2008
We spent Christmas in Atlanta Ga, Uncle Lee/Uncle Davis Aunt Missy and Uncle Walter and Bryan were all there. We had a great time playing outside 71 degree. Missy/Walter/Bryan got me a doorway playstation which was great fun. We ate way toooo much food.
16 Dec 2008
I have a new “eye” tooth.. I’m not sure what that is i can’t see any better, but it’s come in. Now if i could get that to pay, i’d be good to go. Mommy and Daddy seem to always be busy these days, but they play with me as much as I want, otherwise i just go up to them and say “mom, mom, mommy, mama, mom, mom, mommie” that usually gets her attention..
13 Dec 2008
Well, it’s cold here and we have 4″ of snow, not bad for us but it snowed in Atlanta and IN Mississippi which it rarely does, Uncle Lee and Uncle Davis couldn’t get out of their house, i guess it sn0wed a lot there.. something like 1/2″ which must be a lot. We get to go on the Airplane to visit with all of them in about 2 weeks, so i better take a nap for now..
11 Dec 2008
Last night Addie came to spend the night with me, and we didn’t take a nap til like 1 o’clock we were both exhausted, but addie slept longer than me. Jenny came over to spend the night with us the next night which was loads of fun, she has pretty hair. Me and daddy scared them by jumping in the chair, for some reason they both jumped trying to catch me, but i wasn’t falling.
5 Dec 2008
Last night I spent the evening with Jenny and Family, Jenny game me a phone that Addie doesn’t like to play with, I’m not sure why, it lights up and makes sounds. I like it a lot and Mommy taught me to say Hello (it sounds like HeRoo) It’s great fun, but the reception isn’t all that great it keeps dropping calls.
29 Nov 2008
This weekend we went to the “Farm” to have thanksgiving with my grandma, grandpa, aunts and uncles and cousins. We cut wood, and shot pigeons, and rode the ATV machines all over the place. I’m glad it was warm.. 49 degree.. yeaaaaa. I didn’t sleep too well though seems i have my “eye” teeth coming in and they bother me a bit, and i’m fighting a little cold to. Tonight we are watching the Vikings football, if we win we will be #1 in our division, i’m glad daddy understands all this we just yell a lot when those guys run with the ball and everyone seems really happy.
27 Nov 2008
So my sisters and their families came over to our house for thanksgiving, David slept the whole time and missed out on all the really good food, he’s doing great and isn’t yellow any more. All the girls were in the kitchen “baking me a pie” except for addie, we were with the boys watching the football games (as it should be). We ate lots of food and Amy/Jenny helped mom in the kitchen a lot.
23 Nov 2008
So mom and dad finally figured out I need my diaper changed, it’s about time, i had to grab my diaper and smack it and go back my bedroom calling to them. Jeez, some people need more than a hint..
November 20, 2008
This is it - I’m a whole year old. Mom and Dad threw me a party - there were balloons and everything. They thought I did some cool stuff this last year but just wait…
