Joey - 15 months

Can I just tell you how much of a rockstar this kid is?  Ninja. Rockstar. Possum. Bear.  Kid has too many nicknames.  Haha.

This month:

- Joey's been in this weird stage where he's trying to transition from two naps to one, but one nap is not enough, but two is too much.  It makes things a little difficult sometimes because I have no idea if he is going to need one nap or two that day.  So, we're kind of just winging it right now.

- We went on a hike with the Young Women in our ward to fulfill their Girl's Camp hiking requirement, and had a blast.  We went up to Gem Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park.  Joey was so excited that he refused to take his morning nap.  So he finally fell asleep in the backpack on the way back down.  It was pretty darn cute (if I do say so myself).


- We went to the Family FunPlex in Greeley during Neal's lunch one day.  They have a super cool pirate themed "little kid" pool.  Joey really enjoyed it for the first time, and started putting his head under the sprayers and such.  He had a blast.


- A very kind person anonymously dropped off a kiddy pool and a bunch of toys on our front porch.  Thank you, thank you, thank you to whoever decided to do that!


- We went camping.  Read all about that here.

- I went up to Girl's Camp, so Joey spent a few days with friends and family, and then spent the evenings with Neal.  Those two really seemed to have a blast while I was gone (though I don't have any pictures!)

- We went to the rodeo at the Greeley Stampede.  Joey was fascinated by the horses, cows, and sheep that we saw.  Every time a contestant would come out of the gate, Joey would stop whatever he was doing and just stare.



- We celebrated Independence Day, which is always a blast.  We went to our church for a breakfast in the morning, and then watched the Greeley Stampede parade later in the morning.  Then we headed down to my parent's house for lunch.  Afterwards, we went to Firestone's celebration and Joey got to pet animals in a petting zoo, and ride a pony.  We enjoyed listening to a band that was playing while we cooled off eating snow cones.  Later that night, we watched Firestone's fireworks with my family and Neal's cousins.  Joey was such a trooper that whole day.  He didn't get much sleep, but still was happy and excited most of the day :)








- Joey said his first word: "ah-der" (translation: water)

- We have officially entered the climbing stage.  There aren't many "safe" places to put stuff in our house anymore.  Thankfully he hasn't figured out how to move chairs yet ;)
